Where A Makeup Course Can Take You
Having a qualification in makeup can lead you down a variety of exciting and diverse career pathways. At Servilles Academy, we offer two makeup courses:
NZ Certificate in Makeup & Skincare (Level 3)
NZ Certificate in Makeup Artistry (Level 4)
These programmes are designed to enable employment after graduation, but completing both certifications means you’ll have a more well-rounded and comprehensive understanding of makeup, beauty, customer service and business. So, the real question is, where can a makeup course take you? We chatted with our makeup tutors Nick and Alice to discuss some of the roles you might find yourself in in the future.
RETAIL / COUNTER-WORK
After finishing the level 3 programme, you’ll have the skills needed to work on a makeup counter. We have graduates who have gone on to work for some awesome brands including MAC, Benefit and Shisedo. Working on a counter helps you gain a multitude of skills including customer service, product knowledge and of course, makeup skills. “Counter work can also open up a lot of opportunities for you, such as celebrity makeup and fashion shows,” Alice says, “At Bobbi Brown I was liaising with head makeup artists from TV and film sets – you gain a lot of close connections with different artists and get to work on a range of clients which helps build your confidence.” Alice also admits one the additional perks is free makeup to try!
