With the success of our 1 year course in 2011, the LA Team are proud to announce their next available ITEC accredited 1 year specialist make-up course will commence on 24th October 2011.

This unique and advanced level programme provides students with the most intensive and practical training in professional Make-Up Artistry. The course, which commences from a beginners level, focuses on working in the fashion, beauty, media, film and theatre sectors with classes consisting of practical based tuition. The full time course runs for the academic year Monday to Friday, 10am-4pm.

The course trains students in every aspect of make-up and this is something that no other course in Ireland offers. Students will learn everything from bridal and high fashion make-up to photographic make-up to the more specialist subjects such as Special FX, Prosethics, Air-Brushing and Character make-up. Students are also trained in barbering, hair styling for make-up artists and business and professional studies.

LA Make-Up Academy offers a “One Year Open Door Policy”. That is, a graduate may repeat a class or photo-shoot free of charge for up to one year after they have graduated. This policy is exclusive to LA Make-Up Academy.

For a make-up artist, an outstanding portfolio is essential and the students on this course will enjoy ongoing photo-shoots throughout the year with some of Ireland’s best photographers and they will receive a CD with their 24 image portfolio.

Work experience is integral to this course and our graduates have worked at events such as Dublin Fashion Festival, VIP Style Awards and Xpose and they have worked on shoots for Hotpress, TV Now, RTE Guide, Confetti and also a number of short films and TV shows. LA Make-Up Academy provide real life work experience to prepare their students to the highest standard for their careers as make-up artists.

Dublin Fashion Festival Launch

Friday, July 29th, 2011

The Dublin Fashion Festival takes place from 8th to 11th September 2011. During this weekend, fashion lovers can partake in a number of fun fashion activities throughout participating stores. Activities include complimentary personal shopping services and makeovers, hair and make-up demonstrations, live music in stores, special discounts, style advice services and much more.

Some of The LA Team attended the Launch of Dublin Fashion Festival which was held in the Westin hotel last night, Thurs 28th July.

The event was overflowing with stylish people and the fashion show highlighted the trends that we can expect for Autumn/Winter 11.

Our very own fabulous Sarah Jane was head artist and some of our uber-talented recent graduates of the 1 year specialist course were the artists who were on hand backstage to create the amazing make-up looks that the stunning 1st Options models sported.

There were looks from stores from Brown Thomas to River Island to Penneys; something to suit everyone’s budget.

As we have previously blogged A/W 11 sees 1940’s inspired looks and these were some of our favourite looks from last night!

Colouring blocking was seen with looks created by the Jervis St, Shopping Centre.

Orange is a colour that is carrying itself through to A/W and is a great colour to add to update an outfit and bring it through to this season.

This floor length red dress was definitely a show stopper.

The talented Sarah Jane applied Fantasy Make-Up to the gorgeous model Orla O’Brien as the launch was underway using the latest air brushing techniques. Orla looked amazing when her look was complete.
