    I thought the class was awesome. I have not received such skilled teaching in special Effects make-up course of any caliber ever. Even my son (whom was my model) enjoyed it and learned some things as well for his next "in front of camera" role. Thank you.

    Stephanie’s class was extremely informative and fun! In a short amount of time, we learned to do bruises, cuts, scrapes, scratches, and burns. It was also great that Stephanie let us keep the tools we used during class to practice at home. Definitely looking forward to a part 2 of this class

    It was a fun class but also very informative for a short one day class. A good, inexpensive class to get an idea of basic techniques. The teacher was fun and helpful, and for a 2 hr class, there was a good amount of opportunity for hands on application.
