Awesome teacher and amazing course
I really liked this course. It's very accessible and non-intimidating. The instructor is very good. I would love for her to teach more techniques like "baking" or different styles.But the two styles basically help you to adapt them to whatever you need. I love that she helped the students understand that you don't have to be perfect and she emphasized sanitary practices. She's really great (and gorgeous). And the models were beautiful, everyday women. Loved it.
Me encantó! Aprendí muchas cosas, la explicación es clara y dinámica, todo lo necesario para mejorar mi técnica de maquillaje. Excelente calidad docente.
Muy bueno el contenido, super entendible, técnicas fáciles de replicar, completo en cuanto a enseñanza. Recomendadisimo!!
Soy principiante y me sirvió mucho para hacer mi kit de maquillaje y animarme a hacer los looks además que tiene muchos consejos y tips para cuidar tus brochas, me pareció muy bien para alguien que va iniciando
