Lesson Structure: 
  1. Make-Up & Grooming - Relatively few women have ever learnt how to apply make-up professionally, and even less know how to choose the products and colours that complement their natural tones and skin type. Yet, with careful application of make-up and colour you can help your client to enhance their natural features and create the right impression by focusing attention on their strongest features and creating the illusion of balance where necessary. Make-up is an instant transformer for women and with a little practice you will be soon be able to show clients how to use make-up to create stunning looks with simple techniques. 
  2. Male Makeovers - As a general rule, men’s wardrobes aren’t as colourful as women’s and they don’t have the same opportunities to improve their features with make-up – but there are still numerous ways that a man can make an impact. The key to success is to pay attention to the seemingly small details, and consider carefully every aspect of a man’s wardrobe and accessories. Hairstyle and grooming habits have a significant impact on a man’s appearance, and in this section of the course you will learn how to advise men on the best ways to create a strong impression – both in and out of the office.
  3. Individual Analysis - Before you begin selecting clothes for a client, you need to know exactly what you are working with, and the only way to find this out is by objectively assessing your client’s attributes, such as their body type, proportions, facial shape and skin tone. The right hairstyle can make someone appear taller, slimmer and even younger. Likewise, make-up can drastically affect the way we look. In this course, you will learn how to accurately identify your clients strong and weak characteristics, and then help them to select the clothes and styles that will work with their natural features instead of against them.
  4. Developing a Style - Image Consultancy is really about bringing out the inner beauty and confidence in all your clients; by simply helping them to be themselves in a way that makes the rest of the world take notice! By the time you complete this course in Image Consultancy, you will be skilled in how to help your clients find a style that is appropriate for their lifestyle on a practical level, and reflective of their unique personality and character.
