Freelance Part-time Makeup Program
WEDDING BELLES
According to CNN/Money, the cost of the average wedding has now escalated to $30,000!

And even within this ballooning budget, nothing is more important to the bride than looking absolutely gorgeous on her special day. And if that means investing in the services of the professional makeup artist, that is the one expense that is well worth the investment.
While it has become de-rigeur to book a professional makeup artist for the bride, we are now seeing a trend where these professional makeup services extend to the wedding party and family members.
For ethnic weddings where celebrations can span several days, makeup artists are booked for multiple functions and are required to create a variety of looks. And with the growing popularity of destination weddings, in-demand makeup artists can be flown to exotic locales to provide their special creative magic.

Professional makeup artists can bill thousands of dollars for a single wedding!
The Blanche Macdonald Centre has developed a specialized program training Professional Makeup artists for the Bridal and Fashion industries.
The Freelance Makeup program encompasses practical skills in Bridal Makeup and Wedding Hair up-dos, Special Events makeup, Fashion Makeup for editorial, runway and print, and Airbrushing Bronzing techniques.
Students will also develop an "e-portfolio" using Photoshop and learn how to effectively market themselves as Freelance Makeup artists.
This is an exceptional program for those who are entrepreneurial and creative.
Spa School
PURELY SPA
The spa lifestyle has filtered into every part of our lives.

"Spa" appears on restaurant menus and frozen food. We wear luxe spa robes and loungewear. We decorate our bathrooms with spa-influenced lighting and paint colours. We light spa candles and relax in our spa tub with home spa beauty products. Spa treatments, such as reflexology and massage, promote patient healing in hospitals.
Medi-spas combine esthetic treatments and modern medicine to combat the sign of aging and enhance wellness. We visit spas in hotels, resorts, cruise ships, airports and in our neighbourhood. Once considered a woman's domain, men, tweens and teens are now enjoying the benefits of spa life.

SPA. One small word that means big business and incredible career opportunities.
According to an International Spa Association study, the U.S. Spa Industry generated an estimated $11.2 billion in revenue in 2003. The study also reports approximately 136 million spa visits were made in the U.S. in 2003 and those numbers continue to grow yearly. The Canadian spa industry is a billion dollar baby, with day spas rapidly growing in popularity as people make them part of their daily lives.
The demand for highly-trained spa therapists/estheticians continues to grow exponentially with the growth of the spa industry. As the industry grows, career possibilities are endless. Estheticians work as product representatives, trainers, spa coordinators and managers, technicians and more worldwide.
Meeting this demand is the Blanche Macdonald Centre's exemplary Esthetics/Spa Therapist Program.
