OUR GRADS' STORIES
"MASTERING THE DETAILS"
"With a goal of becoming a full time makeup artist, I enrolled in Gabrielle’s course to up skill and gain new techniques. The hands on approach built my confidence week by week, and the details like lip carving and proper face positioning helped me reach a professional level. Gabrielle’s thorough teaching and sense of humour made the learning process enjoyable. I’ve gained not only skills but also connections within the makeup community. This course has been invaluable in boosting my confidence, improving my work, and attracting more clients."
"INVALUABLE GUIDANCE"
"Right around the time the first academy intake came about, I had followed Gabrielle for years and loved her work, so I looked into it further. The content was right up my alley, including everything needed to start my makeup career. The most useful skill was analyzing tones in clients’ skin and products, helping me create cohesive looks that always get a great reaction. Gabrielle's constant tips during class still help me be a better artist. The business lessons were invaluable, and the course helped me attract clients through networking. I’m forever grateful for my time at the academy."
