“I am so impressed with this program. Where to start…”

As a former high school English teacher, I am so appreciative of the quality of writing in the guidebooks. It is intelligent, descriptive, clear, and thoughtful. As a woman, I love how the goal is to highlight the beauty existing in all people already, NOT to hide or transform. This point is made early and often. The feedback is super timely, personalized, kind, and honest. The makeup kit is complete and of high quality, and the videos and lessons are enjoyable to watch/read.  I must admit, I had no idea that the world of makeup artistry was so full of detail, science, and careful pride. I tried to fit in a unit while multitasking and momming! Lesson learned. I’m humbled, and looking forward to giving my all and seeing where this program takes me.”
