There are many skillsets we are taught in college in HNC Fashion these skills are
-Promotional and social media
-General health and safety including client consultation
-Eyebrow artistry
-Skin colour theory
-Skin types
-Trends and historical looks
-Skin prep
But it's best to see those skills be used in photography and editing, there are other skills we need to understand like basic photography to ensure we are aware of how it'll look on photographs and special wordings that a team uses
Fashion - Avant Garde, Runway & Editorial
In order to gain HNC Fashion Makeup certificate I need to understand Fashion, there were 3 types we studied on and attempted.
Avant Garde Is typically playful and creative to do, it's when you can destroy your makeup palette for art.
Runway is more for fashion and main focus is the fashion the main focus and typically try create a story with the fashion.
Editorial is putting full faith on the photographer to create the vision, they are more subtle as the makeup and styling should speak for itself.

Historical
We had to study different eras of makeup as well as Victorian and Egyptian styles to understand where current makeup trends came from and know how to achieve it for when we do historical filming.
I enjoyed these the most as I enjoy studying history by actively attending museums and historical sites
Male Grooming: it's important to know how to cater to a wider audience. Men's skincare, grooming and styling are often overlooked, we have to teach our male models how to do their skincare and basic colour correction, I also taught him how to style his hair and beard.
Graded Unit
For Graded Unit we had to create 3 different looks following a specific makeup artist or brand, I went for DIOR due to fact my family member had some of their products which meant it was easier for me to supply. I used Dior blusher, eyeshadow palette, glow foundation and lipstick to create some of these looks. The outfits were mostly supplied myself and I followed DIOR's Spring Summer 2024 collection as reference for my shoots.
