PAST STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

I began Makeup Artistry in OFI in September and in only 2 months my confidence in doing makeup on myself and others has grown substantially. The course ranges from natural makeup like bridal to the complete opposite like special effects and fantasy makeup. The trainers are extremely helpful and explain the material in a very understanding way. I couldn't recommend this course enough if you have an interest in the Beauty / Make up industry.

Since I commenced studying Makeup Artistry in OFI, I have gained an amazing amount of skill and confidence in my work. The encouragement I have received from the staff has ensured that I have excelled in my abilities. The course is a brilliant progression route into the makeup/beauty industry. I enjoyed covering all the different aspects of makeup from, natural makeup and bridal makeup to special effects and fantasy makeup. I couldn’t recommend this course enough to anyone that may be considering it.
