What Make-Up Services covers

The make-up cycle of consult, prepare, apply, advise and clean is the subject of Make-Up Services in Cosmetology Level 6. After defining terms and holding a consultation, you wear protective gear, drape the client and examine the skin, and then select the make-up tools and equipment. The application stage runs through pretreatment and the make-up procedures, closing with after care advice. A final outcome returns to hygiene, with sanitised implements, a wiped-down work station and recyclable supplies put away.
