Student Reviews / Testimonials:
"I had the best experience learning new techniques, practicing and just having fun with the rest of the students. The instructors are very patient and explain everything with detail. Lots of information. I attended two other classes in the past and this has been the best investment I ever did to learn make up.

It gave me the confidence to go back home and start putting everything I learn in action. Great instructors, Christopher was just the best, nice and fun, very helpful and creative!"
