1:1 VTCT Level 2 Award in Make-Up

This VTCT Level 2 Award in Make-Up is a recognised qualification designed for learners who want to build professional make-up skills through a structured and accredited training pathway. You will develop confidence in consultation, skin preparation, product knowledge, tool use, hygiene, application techniques, and overall look creation so you can work toward professional make-up services with a stronger understanding of beauty industry standards. It is ideal for beginners who want a recognised qualification rather than a short course and who may wish to progress further in beauty or make-up. Full details on qualification content, study format, assessment, and support are in the Additional Info sections.

Learners who want a recognised VTCT make-up qualification to support progression into beauty or make-up work.

This course is designed to develop both your theoretical knowledge and your practical make-up skills, helping you build confidence in delivering a professional, well-balanced make-up service.

Core theory covers health and safety, client care and communication, relevant anatomy and physiology, consultation, contraindications and contra-actions, aftercare, colour theory, product knowledge, and the correct step-by-step treatment procedure.

Practical training then guides you through the key elements of professional make-up application, including skin preparation, hygiene, workstation setup, complexion products, foundation and concealer selection, correction, contour, blush and highlight placement, eye shapes, eyeshadow structure, blending, eyeliner, lash application, brow definition and balance, lip work, and finishing techniques.

You will also learn how to adapt the treatment for different skin types, face shapes, eye shapes, and desired finishes, while developing the professional standards, troubleshooting ability, and practical confidence required within the VTCT pathway.

If you want it even more “worth the money”
