Our Beacon award-winning Hair and Media Make-up department prides itself on its excellent links within the industry including local schools, theatre companies and the NHS. The department offers a friendly, supportive and professional learning environment.

On our Media Make-up courses you’ll train within our dedicated media make-up classrooms and develop skills in airbrush make-up and cosmetic camouflage, prosthetics and special effects techniques, creative hairdressing and styling, face and body art and more.

As well as taking part in regular masterclasses and industry guest speaker sessions, there will be opportunities to work on-location with models and performers and provide a wide range of creative makeup services in media, theatre, and fashion and photographic settings. Our tutors will support you with entering into the World Skills UK competition, plus other trade shows and make-up industry exhibitions.
