THE PHOTOSHOOT IS EVIDENCE OF THE STUDENTS ACHIEVEMENT The students portfolio work is strictly the students work only i.e. the student has done all the makeup, all the hairstyle, and all the jewellery and outfit setting by themselves at the end of the course without any physical help from the tutor or anyone from her team. Many other teaching establishments pass off pictures as students work whereas the tutor or helper usually do all the hairstyling, and dupatta and jewellery setting themselves, and the student only does the makeup, and in some instances makeup by the student is done on only half the face, whereas the tutor has done makeup on the other half. The whole point of doing a hair and makeup course should be so that the student can complete total hair and makeup looks by themselves by the end of the course without any further help. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- COURSE BENEFITS The Advanced Bridal Hair and Makeup Course teaches students to confidently style hair and apply makeup on asian, middle eastern and European brides and party guests for different functions.
