We posted before about the makeup courses at Abbey College – you can read it here.

And this week we launched a new course; Media Makeup and Beauty Studies,  FETAC L5

You can see the students in action here and also see our Facebook page for more photos! They look like real professionals already and we can’t wait to see what they can do at the end of the course. More photos are on the Abbey College International Facebook page.

How do you think this student will look when her Makeup Artist is finished?

This is from a class about shooting Advertisements.  Do you know this brand?

Nighttime look – time to party!

Another serious student!

Look at her eyelashes!

Weekend Tips

The Shebeen Chic around the corner on George St hosts a great Comedy Night every Sunday. Free entre and free ice-cream. See  The Comedy Crunch facebook page for details.

Another free night takes place every Monday in the International Bar on Wicklow St. Called ‘Glor’ which means noise or voice in Irish, you can hear music,  spoken word and other creative things! See their website Glor for details.

Your new student room is ready in Room 3! You can go in there after your course finishes at the college or for lunch too

What's Behind the Door at Abbey College?

Yes, it’s time for a change at Abbey! Your student room is really too small for so many people and we know it can be difficult to get in there sometimes. Now it’s all changed!

• It’s Bigger; more than two times the size of the old room with a large window at the end so you check the weather before you leave
• More Sofas; lots of comfortable sofas and chairs for you to sit on.  Plus a table with chairs and stools so you can eat or read books.
• Eating Time;   The coffee machine is being joined by a vending machine with drinks and snacks.

You’ll have more space to chill out in-between classes or even after class.  Nicola, the General Manager says she hopes this new room will help you feel more at home here.  The new Students’ Room will be open from Monday January 18th.   Check back here for some photos!

WEEKEND TIP

We hope you’ve been enjoying the snow students! And that you haven’t had any slips or falls on the ice. It looks beautiful but we all need to be careful when walking or driving outside these days.

If you’re feeling the cold, why not learn to knit? Warm hats and gloves are easy  to make at the This is Knit classes in the Powerscourt centre. Only €10 for Beginners!

Hop on the Red Luas to the Irish Museum of Modern Art. Some great exhibions are running there now including Pictures of New York and Philippe Parreno.  It’s all free!
