SUCCESS STORY

SUNNY LEE | TAIWAN’S RESIDENT BRIDAL AND FASHION MAKEUP ARTIST

If you asked most brides in Taiwan who Sunny Lee is, chances are they would know her as the Makeup Artist from their own wedding. In the midst of a blisteringly fast-paced career in Bridal Makeup that spanned over 11 years and included “easily over 1000 brides,” Sunny Lee dropped everything in Taiwan and came to Vancouver to enrol in our 3-month International Makeup Studio program. The classes allowed Sunny to expand her already well-developed skills, propelling her to her current position as a top Bridal and Fashion Makeup Artist in Taiwan.

“I

had read so much about Blanche Macdonald’s Makeup program and I knew it would be the perfect place for me to improve not only my bridal skills but to learn all the new things I wanted to learn. I knew Blanche Macdonald would help me be different and original and not just make copies of the other work I liked. My time at Blanche showed me how to be a real artist.”
