SCOTLAND’S top makeup college will create 50 new jobs as it seeks to expand in the UK, thanks to a six-figure investment.
Edinburgh-based Glamcandy, headquartered in William Street, has partnered with Julian Kynaston — the man behind the cult Illamasqua make up range.
Kynaston’s six-figure investment of an unknown amount will be used to expand Glamcandy’s range of makeup courses, training prospective makeup artists.
Kynaston believes the project can make Glamcandy the “go-to makeup college brand in the UK”.
Bosses at the Edinburgh firm — who also operate courses from their college in Dunfermline and locations in Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness — say they are now taking on new staff as they set up across the UK.
Hayley Harvey Smith, director of Glamcandy, said: “This investment is a huge boost to Glamcandy and represents a massive vote of confidence in what we have built here.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
