Make-Up Students Learn from Industry Experts

Students studying Make-up Artistry

at the Finnart Campus have benefited

from the experience of top industry

experts recently.

Lauren Sullivan and Annie Tagge from

Chalres Fox Make-up visited the college

to deliver a talk on what’s new in industry

and gave an invaluable demonstration

to the students on air brushing. Annie

also spoke to the students about work

experience placements that will be

available with the top London make-up

company in the near future.

NQ Make-up students also had the chance

to hone their skills when they attended

a Bobbi Brown workshop at The House

of Frasers in Glasgow. Professional Bobbi

Brown make-up artists performed various

demonstrations for the students, followed

by a question and answers session. The

students were even allowed to try and test

the products for themselves. The fashion

make-up workshop will help prepare the

students for moving on to the HNC Fasion

Make-up after the summer.

Isobel Donald, make-up artistry lecturer

at the college, said: “Students benefit from

seminars and events, both in the college

and out in industry surroundings like

the House of Frasers. The make-up team

feel it is really important for our students

to have regular input from top make-up

companies, keeping them up-to-date with

the most current products on the market.

James Watt College is the only Scottish

college to enjoy close links to Bobbi Brown

and links with high-profile companies such

as these are important for our learners

to gain a valuable insight into real-work

experiences.”

Sharon Carey, Bobbi Brown make-up artist

commented “The students were very eager

and came equipped with lots of relevant

questions. In addition to demonstrating

bridal and coffee-to-cocktail looks, the

students also had the opportunity to create

their own looks. We chose three winners

who won a selection of Bobbi Brown

products. Everyone was very enthusiastic

and I was very impressed with their artistry

talents.

“Seminars such as these are great

experience for the students; it’s a good

way for them to learn out-with their own

surroundings. Working at a make-up

counter is a good avenue for make-up

students to go down when they graduate

as they also get to represent the company

as an artist at training seminars, fashion

awards etc. Many previous James Watt

College graduates have joined us.
