Application

This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to respond to a client brief to design and apply make-up for specialised looks that use creative design and application of make-up.

It requires the ability to refine a brief with a client and then research, design, trial and apply a creative make-up.

This unit applies to make-up artists who work in make-up studios and as freelancers. In this environment they may work as part of a team or autonomously but they make independent creative decisions. They have knowledge and skills of a range of make-up products and specialised make-up application techniques.

No occupational licensing, specific legislative, regulatory or industry certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
