Which course would be best?

[glam8babe]

I filled out an online form for the DCA home learning information guide or whatever it is.. and it came yesterday.
Theres 2 course im really interested in and they are Beauty Therapy and Makeup Artist.
Beauty therapy is £529 and Makeup artist is £459 ... i dont really care how much they are because my mother will be paying it for me.. but i have NO idea which one to pick?!

I was thinking about it last night and i read them both over and over and i still have no clue...

This is what the beauty therapy course includes:

• the major body systems
• cosmetic ingredients
• skin, hair and nail anatomy
• treatment room supplies and products
• massage techniques and benefits
• spa body treatments
• makeup products and makeup colour theory
• performing a skin analysis
• consultation, client charts and health screening
• professional makeup application

What i would get from this course

• improved personal grooming
• ability to give informed beauty advice
• improved potential for employment as a salon apprentice
• satisfaction of developing your creative talents
• ASET award (level 3)

Makeup artist course:

• skin care and skin types
• makeup products and application
• individual looks
• colour relationships and face structure
• special effects, casts and moulds
• hair products, the hair kit

What i would get from this course

• expert guidance to the most reliable cosmetics and products
• professional techniques and tricks of the trade
• the skills to create your own looks
• the confidence to take your talent to the next level

What do you guys think?
I dont really wanna be a beauty therapist, i just wanna get into makeup [even working at makeup counters] and i think it would be better if i know about skin care which is included in both courses but i think beauty therapy will be more 'detailed' if u get me? but i still havent a clue!! what if i do the makeup artist course.. apply to makeup counters and get laughed at? lol

I would say the beauty therapy course because it seems more in depth and it will offer a broader overview of beauty in general.

Plus it offeres a recognized qualification

I would go with the beauty therapy (i know you don't really want it) but it does cover makeup products and colour theory and professional makeup application in addition to all those other things and certification. And I think you're good at makeup application and after that course you'd prob have more confidence to do your own looks and I'm sure you could try and do makeup for friends going to events and get your name out there.

Good luck with your decision!

Yeah the beauty course sounds really good but I put in for the make up course as I think I would enjoy it more

I wish you luck for your course and thanks for the advice. x
