Cosmetic Techniques

Look and feel more beautiful. Prepare for a special occasion. Make a confident first impression.

People wear makeup for reasons that are personal and varied. Whether you want to try a new trend, add some polish for a job interview, amp up the glam for a night out or give yourself a little pick-me-up, professional make-up application has the power to transform how you look and feel.

Building on their makeup application techniques and consultation skills, our student beauty advisors can also provide recommendations on how to select the best cosmetic products to help you achieve a desired look.
