PROSPECTUS!
"Makeup is a skill that once learned can never be taken away from you. Since the beginning of <me women have found it necessary to enhance their appearance and this won't ever change. In a world of changing fortunes it is a 'smart' move to acquire a set of skills that people will always be willing to pay for" Funmi Odegbami Director of MINK London WWW.THISISMINK.COM 2
"Every day I was learning something new. I found (everyday) enjoyable and very interesGng. The course is very intensive and every lesson was very important to me. Homework which we were asked to prepare, gave me a chance to do some more research about the makeup. I improved my pracGcal skills and I appreciate all the feedback which I received from the teachers. I learned about natural looks, period looks, that I can be creaGve and can prepare interesGng looks and airbrushing. I think for 5 days of learning I learned a lot".

“I would actually like to take the Gme to thank MiNK. I was very pleasantly surprised with the level of detail taught in the beginners make up course. The past 5 days have gone by so fast – I’ve thoroughly enjoyed myself and thank you for all your knowledge and guidance. I now feel confident to pursue the business I’ve always wanted alongside my career. Every day was completely different and I loved the fact that all the teachers were highly experienced and currently sGll huge in the business. I enjoyed every second of my Gme there and felt really prepared and eager to venture onto a set or a shoot. The course not only taught me make-‐up and hair skills but also how to behave on set, what lingo everyone uses, how to write an invoice etc. that has been so beneficial since finishing the course.

"I have gained confidence and knowledge in the theory and pracGce of makeup arGstry. The introducGon to airbrush makeup was great. But because this course is intensive I've found learning and absorbing the theory and material covered quite exhausGng that's why it's useful also to have a hard copy of the course toolkit to keep and refer back to. Due to the intensity of the course -‐ it was extremely fast paced -‐ I felt that pracGcally I would have liked to have an extra day to review the subjects covered, pracGce what was learned and have more Gme to prepare for the final make-‐up shoot. What I've learned about myself is that I definitely want a career in Makeup ArGstry. The only regret is I've discovered makeup so late in my life just wish I were twenty years younger!
