I was disappointed because she used a prosthetic that was made for her and didn't show how to make one.
By Kristy Chalmer on 8/10/2020
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised given this course cost less than $15 but honestly, it's pathetic! The makeup artist touts herself as having studied under one of Hollywood's best and then immediately goes on to make a cheek scar that looks like it was done by a toddler. I can watch videos for free on YouTube from people with more talent than this woman. She also has the personality of a dead cat.

Absolutely loved this course. Learnt so much from it that I will take forward with me. Really interesting and fascinating. Ordered my own make-up online to start doing special effects make-up. Very organised and well laid out. Loved it!
By Ellie Wilkinson on 7/5/2020
It was a good match for me, I enjoyed watching the video and learning new techniques. I think that it's amazing how much work goes into special effects.
By Jasmine Varoujian on 7/2/2020
So far its been alright however as educational as it is it can tend to be slightly boring and I easily lose interest
