Read the comments from our student Soe San Htaik – she graduated after 6 months studies:
”I would definitely recommend”
”Thank you so much for your kind and detailed feedback! I really appreciate the time you took to go through each makeup look and to share your thoughts. Your comments were super helpful and encouraging — I’ve learned a lot from your advice, especially about being bolder with colors and symmetry.
Studying in an online course was a really positive experience for me. The structure made it easy to follow, and I could learn at my own pace while still feeling supported. The videos and the book were both very clear and useful — they gave me a solid understanding of each technique before I tried it myself. I also think this kind of online training is very effective, especially for people who are working but still want to study and improve their skills.
The exercises were fun to do, and they challenged me to step out of my comfort zone. I feel much more confident with makeup now!
I would definitely recommend this training to others who are interested in makeup artistry. It’s well-organized, creative, and motivating.
I also want to thank you personally for being such a patient and supportive teacher. You guided me all the way, even when I felt like giving up. You are very professional, and your encouragement helped me to keep going and believe in myself. Thank you so much for your guidance and support — you are a real teacher, and I can truly see your heart in your work.

What is online education?
The multi-modal training takes place online using video demos, partly through personal feedback and discussions and partly as face-to-face teaching. The advantage of online training is that you can study from home. You will receive a student guide and a daily study program, which is important to follow throughout the academic year because we progress according to the program.
The theory sections and books are online and are reviewed in the same rhythm as the practical exercises. The books are also available as printed books. The practical exercises progress using technique demos, which correspond to the demonstrations shown in the face-to-face training.
The advantage of video demos is that the video can always be stopped and watched again, and they can be used to easily review the techniques. After the video demonstration, the student applies the makeup to the model twice and takes a picture of the finished work. The finished work photos are sent to the trainer one technique at a time.
Feedback is reviewed based on the photos at agreed times. The content of the technical videos is exactly the same as in the technical books, which contain pictures, work plans and a description of the implementation of the technique. In the face-to-face training, the same demos and the implementation of the student’s work are made. The content of the online training corresponds to the face-to-face training program.
Online training is full-time study, just like face-to-face training. The advantage of the training is that you can study in your own environment, anywhere and even from a long distance. It is possible to perform professional competence demonstrations in the same way as in face-to-face training.
