The best and most rewarding part about training people in something that they really love is when they go out there and start up their own business having completed a course with us.  Our latest success story is Catriona McMorris who completed our Portobello Makeup Artistry course in 2011.

Our Beauty students got creative this work in their Nail class.  Adding a touch of glamour to nails the students created these amazing designs.

To celebrate International Women's Day earlier in the month many events took place globally celerbrating women past, present and future.  Portobello Institute have always been avid celebrators of the day and once again we were delighted to be working alongside the Islamic centre in Dublins City Centre.  Our full time Beauty students spend the day pampering the women at the centre from relaxing neck and shoulder massages through to manicures and makeup treatments.  The day was a huge success, not only did the women enjoy the relaxing treaments but our students got to put their new skills to the test.  Portobello Institute where honoured to be part of such an Internationally recognised day.  We look forward to next year already.

There are so many Make-up and Beauty products on the market that it is hard to decipher which ones to choose.  Thats why I thought I'd pick the brains of our experts here at Portobello Institute.  Here are a just few favourites from our Make-up and Beauty Course Directors
