You’ll learn everything from airbrushing to fashion make-up to bridal looks; all under the expert guidance of Kym Menzies-Foster the world renowned celebrity make-up artist.

Day Two: Airbrushing time with Kym. Spend the day learning skills like stencilling and frisket as well as how to create or cover tattoos. Use all the latest products under Kym’s watchful eye.

Day Three: When model hit the catwalks they need to look spectacular – today you’ll learn how to create sharp lines and bold colour in glamorous combinations while gaining information on lightning and other techniques.

Day Four: This busy day starts off with bridal looks and tips on how to create flawless foundation which stays on all day. And in the afternoon you’ll work with models from different ethnic backgrounds and improve your knowledge of makeup choices for everyone.

Day Five: Put it all together on an exciting photo-shoot with Top UK Models and Fashion Photographers! This will really test your skills but at the end of the day your portfolio will have some stunning headshot and full-length images.

What you’ll get: We will supply products from MAC, Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, Nars and Stila as well as Temptu products, haircare from Toni and Guy and Bumble and Bumble, NYC. Plus of course all of the air-brushing equipment. It’s all waiting for you in St John’s Wood, London.

Isn’t it great to see the sun shining? We love this time of year; there is so much happening in the make-up world with the change over to winter looks.

And of course it’s the perfect time to start new courses and learn some exciting new skills for next year.


As you know we already offer a selection of training courses for make-up artists that will take you from complete beginner at Module 1 to fully-qualified artist at the end of Module 3. We also offer a Start Your Own Business course so you can get the most out of your new knowledge.



And if there’s one thing we’ve learnt from doing all of this and offering services like LA White for Brides, is that make-up is just part of the package. To really look fabulous we all need to concentrate equal attention on every part of our look.

Which is why we’re launching a brand-new Beauty Therapy Course. This course will deliver the same high standards you’ve come to expect from our make-up courses but with a whole new focus.

We’ll be showing you how to use the latest in hair removal products: Lycon Hot Wax and the Selectif ProTM hair removal treatment.


Of course we know the beauty industry is ever-changing so we’ll be on the look out for new products and treatments all the time. Beauty is glamorous but creating that special look means understanding a lot of science and technology. If you learn with us, we’ll take the complications away so you’ll know exactly what to do. So as you work through the course with us, we’ll introduce new topics if we think they can help you on your path.

Week of Glamour, Roses & Celebs at LA Studios

Saturday, August 15th, 2009

You know it’s summertime in Ireland when the beautiful Roses are in town and of course they dropped in to see us. Yes, indeed it was a busy week: from Roses to the Leaving Cert not to mention Kym Menzies-Foster teaching us a few things about airbrushing.

The Roses were doing a photo shoot at the Powerscourt Centre and where else would they go for a touch-up but to the experts here at LA Make-Up? It was great fun to be part of the excitement and we’re really looking forward to the final now we know the girls!

Our own LA promo girls had a turn outside on Wednesday when they visited 15 schools around Dublin. It was time for the Leaving Cert results and once the dreaded results are out, the Debs is next on everyone’s mind. So armoured with badges and LA Tees, the girls had a fab competition to announce. You’ll remember last week we talked about our Deluxe Debs package? Well, if you got one of the flyers we gave away, you could win a DD package for you and 3 of your friends!

Our own students were on a roll this week as well. First up they had an exciting opportunity to study airbrushing techniques with the great Kym Menzies-Foster. She really knows her stuff.

Then we bid farewell to 8 of our Module 3 full-timers as they finished their course on Friday. It’s a bit sad saying goodbye but we’re sure to meet up again. Especially as our students can return for free photoshoot experience after the course is done – all part of the service. It’s a thrilling time starting out on a new career, and we wish them the Very Best of Luck!

And of course that means it’s almost time to start a new course. The Module 3 Course takes you from beginner to pro with everything you need for a successful career in the make-up industry. A global team of tutors working with the very best products will give you a great start in this competitive industry. You’ll be ready for anything they throw at you!

To help you on your way, we have a fantastic LA Make-Up Kit worth €375 to give away to everyone who signs up by August 21st. With the kit and the discounts your student card can bring you, you’ll be looking amazing every day as well as turning your clients into stars.
