Make-Up 2013 Applicants

Hello all make up applicants.

What equipment, stationary, uniform and kits are you bringing to university, i am trying to prepare but not to sure what to buy.

Many universities supply you the kits and uniform I know that southampton solent do and UCB do but it's an additional cost like something between 200-500 pounds something like that! It lasts you like all year

I had no idea that LCF do not supply you with a kit! Is the make up mainly MAC, Bobby brown etc...

Also I wanted to ask someone who has got in to/had an interview at LCF, what sort of things did you include in your portfolio? Just in case I want to get a head start if I apply there, thanks.

I got into LCF this year to do Hair, Make-up and Prosthetics for Film and TV. I had a variety of stuff in my portfolio but when they sent me the email of what to include they said that life drawing was essential! So I included life drawing, print making, 3D work, paintings, drawing etc.

Hope that helps!

Hello! Im so happy to have found a thread about this type of course! Im thinking of applying to Bournemouth for make up I am a bit scared of applying to university as its three years and im 20 this year so next year ill be 21 and in uni and i dont know if a degree in makeup is better then working my way up or!?!?! gahh haha panicing a little bit! I would love to hear what anyone thinks as i have no one at all to talk to about make-up and prosthetics haha

Hey, I'm 25 and will be 28 when I graduate, so you're not that old haha! I think it's a good idea to learn the skills you'll need for a career in makeup safely and by pros, so uni would be perfect. Also it's good to have on a CV that you have a degree - shows dedication if nothing else!! Also uni is an amazing place to make industry contacts! Ultimately it's your decision, but I'd recommend 'shopping around' - there are loads of shorter courses at makeup schools if uni isn't for you. Do you have much experience or training in makeup/prosthetics that would mean that you could walk into a job and work your way up?

I think all the stress from school and college teachers telling me when i was 18 "Its now or you've blown it" got me scared haha! I think your right needed to hear it from someone else who is interested in the same subject! its difficult to talk to the schools and college i went to as their only answer was me to become a beautician when i said i was interested in prosthetic make-up!
Im going to apply to bournmouth and london see where i can get into haha! And not to much, defiantly would need a couple of courses to get going but even then they cost near to a degree anyway and as you said its good to show a degree a proper qualification haha! Are you about to start your degree now then?

I bet it was difficult to talk about it with your school, most teachers would be quite keen to give you advice on the most direct and practical path and lots of colleges offer beautician courses - makeup and prosthetics is a bit more specialist I applied for both London and Bournemouth last September - didn't get in to London and was accepted in to Bournemouth in February - I think the rejection from London was a blessing in disguise tho, Bournemouth looks amazing! I'm starting in like 2 weeks and cannot wait!!

I hope your application goes well! I can't offer much, but I've been through the application process at least, so if you need any help I'd be glad to give it x
