VAD VÅRA STUDENTER SÄGER...

Jag har genomfört utbildningen Internationell Master Makeup Artist & Hårstylist på Make Up Institute Stockholm.

Jag tycker att utbildningen var jättebra även om den var lite utmanande (vilket jag gillar)! Vi lärde oss nya saker varje dag, jag förstod inte till en början hur mycket det faktiskt är som man måste tänka på som proffesionell makeupartist och jag lärde mig massor. Vi fick mycket praktiskt erfarenhet på olika events som var superroliga, bland annat var vi på ett Spotify event där stora artister spelade som Zara Larsson vilket var så coolt. Jag skulle verkligen rekommendera denna skola för alla som har ett genuint intresse för makeupartist yrket! 

— Emilia A

Jag rekommenderar varmt Master makeup utbildningen hos Make Up Institute Stockholm.

Jag är färdigutbildad Master makeup artist och hårstylist på Make Up Institute och jag är väldigt nöjd med utbildningen. Utbildningen är intensiv och man lär sig nya saker inom nya områden vid varje lektionstillfälle, vilket gör att man får mycket kunskap under kort tid. Lärarna är engagerade och ger varje elev den hjälp som de behöver och de ser till att eleverna kommer dit de vill. Via utbildningen har jag fått vara med på många praktiktillfällen vilket gjorde att jag känner mig beredd och självsäker för arbetet som Makeupartist inom Mode, film och TV branschen. Jag rekommenderar varmt Master makeup utbildningen hos Make Up Institute.

— Ulrika B

Så kul...Riktigt dröm:)

Jag är snart klar min internationell Master Makeup Artist utbildningen vid Make Up Institute i Stockholm. Jag har lärt mig enormt mycket och har varit på många praktik platser via skolan som tex. modevisningar, film, mode fotografering, kurser mm. Jag är super nöjd med kursen och de engagerade lärarna som verkligen gör allt för sina elever. Jag har fått super stor makeupartist väska med vegansk produkter och verktyg vid kursstart, sedan en till stor kit med hårstyling produkter och verktyg, och sed en till kit med SFX produkter. Jag rekommenderar varmt Master makeup Artist utbildningen och Makeup Institute till de som vill utbilda sig till makeupartist och hårstylist. 

— Winta

Rekommenderar varm skolan!  

Jag har gått på Master Makeup Artist utbildning på distans. Distans utbildningen fungerar utmärkt och det känns att jag sitter på skolan med andra elever medan jag är hemma i Norrland. Jag kommer till skolan 2-4 gånger per månad och känner mig efter 20 veckors utbildning helt professionellt. Världen bästa skolan med super duktiga lärare som verkligen brinner för sina elever för att väl utbilda de. Förutom detta så har de mycket bra produkter som eleverna får under utbildningen.
