The Understanding Series
The Understanding Series by David Horne has been evolved from decades of in person education, observation and academic training and is unique because it breaks down every element of what you need to understand to build your step-by step technical competence.
* We emphasise the initial stage concept of training your skills in black and white [without any emotional colour confusion] to master the techniques of Professional makeup, technical skills, competency and finally enabling your creativity with makeup.
* We teach all the elements you will need.
* Receive a certificate upon completion of the series.
* Each of our 60 minute technical theory sessions is provided by Zoom - LIVE and 1:1 with David Horne, not pre-recorded and unique to you.
* You will be confident in your new skills as you are taught by a trained educator to ensure you are enabled to learn.
* You will also receive a PDF of notes for each session to follow and store for reference.
