SCOTLAND’S leading makeup college Glamcandy has become the UK’s largest and fastest growing of its kind.
Founded in 2011, the multi-award winning school teaches students of all ages valuable skills.
From those with a passion for makeup to those who are seeking to build professional careers, Glamcandy is professionally equipped to excel and improve students’ skills.
Managing director Hayley Harvey-Smith explains: “We believe in giving our students the best possible experience and education and aim to equip them with skills that will stay with them for life.”
Working alongside prestigious makeup brand Illamasqua, the school offers beginner makeup classes and specialised courses in areas such as bridal, fashion and editorial makeup.
This year Glamcandy launched the first SQA-approved makeup class at Auchmuty High School in Glenrothes and also has plans to roll out the SQA course at two Edinburgh-based schools in 2018, with plans to take the course to Aberdeen in the near future.
Harvey-Smith says: “Our students grow in confidence as they take on new challenges. It has been inspiring and we can’t wait to take that in to other schools in the coming months and years.”
Now recognised as the number one makeup school in Scotland, Glamcandy has further ambition to become the go-to makeup college brand in the UK.
To help achieve this, Glamcandy has partnered with entrepreneur Julian Kynaston — the man behind the Illamasqua makeup range.
Kynaston provided investment in the college which will allow them to expand their range of professional makeup courses across the UK.
Subsequently, the investment will also create 40-50 new jobs as the brand continues to grow.
Harvey-Smith says: “This investment is a huge boost to Glamcandy and represents a massive vote of confidence in what we have built here and we’re excited to take our brand and our knowledge across the UK.”

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!
