Echo Poutney

The most amazing thing I have ever done!! I attended the Fashion and Catwalk Makeup Taster Day: amazing people that helped me all the way through the process, from when I first emailed in about being interested until the day I did my course! Brilliant teachers and just such lovely people; I learnt so much in such a short time and will carry that with me for the rest of my life. Would recommend highly to anyone thinking about a career in the makeup industry.”
