Theoretical Subjects - Colour Theory and Design
The subject Colour and Form Theory develops your creative eye and your ability to work with aesthetics on a professional level. Here you learn to analyse the face’s shapes and features, and how colours can be used to enhance or balance an expression - all with respect for the individual’s natural beauty.
What will you learn?
You are introduced to:
- Fundamental colour theory - primary, secondary and complementary colours
- Colour psychology and the effects of colours
- Face shapes and symmetry
- Correction principles and optical illusions
- Personal colours - warm/cool tones
- Application of colours in makeup and treatment
The subject emphasises both theory and practice, so you learn to see and apply colours and forms consciously in your work.
Why is it important?
As a cosmetologist you work with expression, style and beauty - and here the understanding of colours and forms is indispensable. It enables you to create harmonious results, give professional advice and adapt treatments and makeup to the individual client’s personality and aura.
Teaching format
The teaching combines theory with creative exercises and visual analyses. You work with colour charts, facial analysis and cases where you translate your knowledge into practice. The subject gives you a strong aesthetic sense and makes you sharper in your recommendations and treatments.
