Student Testimonial -

Georgia May - Isles of Scilly

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 clients 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
