WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING...

I am from India and I have come all the way to be a part of this school.

At first I was not so sure because the visa was a big problem for me but they helped me with it and it was so easy for me to come into Sweden and join the course.
At school I learned everything about make up and hair from Runway to full body painting and I got a super big make up kit with hairstylist products, it was like a big present. I felt extremely happy after checking out the products so highly pigmented and vegan, it was a completely different and amazingly good experience.
And also, the teachers are so knowledgeable and supportive, they train you in all aspects of makeup and help you, I felt at home here.

— RUPALI KOTWAL

I have attended Master Make Up Artist & Hairstylist training at the Make Up Institute Stockholm. It has been really good!

I received support from the teachers on all the points I had difficulty with. In addition to makeup and hairstyling techniques, the teachers put a lot of focus on personal development, development of the imagination, trends and makeup art. Through the school, I have practiced on several productions which led to my getting in touch with photographers, directors, producers and stylists. I am super satisfied and warmly recommend the school to anyone who has a great passion for makeup and wants to work as a professional makeup artist and hair stylist.

— SARA MEHARI TEKLE

Make Up Institute Stockholm is truly the best ever make up school.

I am working now as a freelance Master Make Up Artist and Hairstylist in Sweden my specialization includes the following services; Drag Queen Make up (my favorite :), Beauty make up, fashion/bridal make up, special effects for tv/film production, Halloween make up, theatre, and body painting.

All of the teachers were very supportive and they assisted me all the time if I am having difficulties and challenges in school since I am an International Student and New in Sweden I never felt alone at all because all of my classmates became my friends and my teachers treated me like a family.

— FATHIMA ALSHALAAN

I researched many schools in Italy and all over Europe, visited a few, and this one was the most professional.

And, let me tell you, I was not disappointed: the 20-week course is very complete and engaging.
The lessons are really fun and interesting, the teachers are amazing and highly qualified, you learn something new every day and there are lots of exercises, which are field experiences at real fashion shows and events, to choose from.
Great environment, great fun, and if you've been looking for something in this field, I highly recommend this school.
