Väldigt nöjd med utbildningen!
Jag utbildade mig till make up stylist - helt på distans och kommunikationen har varit väldigt bra och hjälpen jag fått av lärare Judit har varit fantastisk! Inga frågor är dumma, jag har fått feedback och bra instruktioner inför och efter varje lektion så jag är supernöjd med denna utbildning!
