What our students have to say…
Great course, thanks for the experience
Brilliant course, worked at my own pace. Learnt heaps of good tips and I would highly recommend this to anyone.
Really enjoyed doing practicals on my family and friends and they were very impressed with the results. I learnt a lot about products and tools, about applying different makeup on different skin tone and how to look at a client’s face and access what is best for them.
I’m hoping to use my skills in the future to do some make up artistry and with a bit more practice I think I could get quite good!! Great course, thanks for the experience
