    I had an amazing experience at Blanche Macdonald Centre. My instructor, Perry, was incredibly knowledgeable and supportive throughout my education. Heather and Simona have continued to provide ongoing support even years after graduation, which means so much. Three years later, I’ve successfully opened my own skincare business, and I’m grateful for the foundation, guidance, and encouragement I received. Highly recommend!

    I originally registered for the 2 day makeup foundations workshop, which ended up being cancelled. I was in a bit of a tough spot since I was hoping to learn to do my own wedding makeup and the rescheduled dates wouldn't work for me. But the school was really nice and arranged a private lesson for me! The instructor, Leah Elliston was patient, knowledge and explained things super clearly. I'm feeling pretty confident about doing my wedding makeup!
