Period Hair & Make-up Course

The Delamar Academy Period Hair & Make-up is a week exploring exploring historical looks, with a focus on authentic techniques and a realistic, historical approach.

Building on the period techniques learned prior to this course, students will research 2 period looks of their own choice for the creation of an individual project.

The project will involve setting, dressing out, fitting, and applying wigs, as well as using make-up and costume to achieve the final finish.

A pre-requisite to this course is that students have completed Period Wigs, Period Make-up, Hair and Beauty Make-up at Delamar Academy or can show sufficient skill level.
