Certificate program
Styling consultant
- 3 months
In today's society with rapid economic development, individuals, businesses, social groups, and even governments have increasingly high expectations for their image. As a result, individuals or companies that specialize in image packaging and brand building have emerged. These are the so-called image consultants or image consulting firms. The image consulting industry helps ordinary people quickly elevate their personal style and taste. Therefore, in Western countries, image consultants engaged in this profession enjoy high social status and economic income.
Certificate program
Personal Image and Makeup
- 5 days
Image is the impression a person's external appearance gives to others. Image is highly personal and unique; it is built based on your own personality, personal habits, professional role, and individual characteristics. Image is your own personal brand and your life's first business card. In all sorts of situations, the people we encounter most often are ‘strangers.’ At these times, the only thing we can rely on is our own image to convey information to the other person. The impression we leave, whether it's good or bad, is formed at this moment.
Certificate program
Special effects makeup
- 4 days
Special effects makeup artists are in high demand in the film and television industry. Many graduates of makeup schools find work on film sets, with most of their jobs involving applying special effects makeup to actors. With the development of the film and television industry, especially overseas, there are many career opportunities. Of course, the international market is also not to be underestimated! Furthermore, learning special effects makeup doesn't just qualify you to be a makeup artist; you can also become a teacher at a makeup school, imparting knowledge of special effects makeup!
Certificate program
Body painting
- 4 days
Body painting art is different from that of a painter; its medium is the dynamic and living human body, making it a three-dimensional work of art. Nude painting, sculpture, body painting performances, and bodybuilding competitions in sports are all legitimate aesthetic arts. However, one point must be affirmed: this type of body painting should conform to certain aesthetic norms and provide people with a comprehensive sense of beauty. Body painting itself must be elevated to a higher level to bring aesthetic pleasure and surprise.
