A word from our trainer:
I'm Victoria and I’m a Ukrainian queer makeup artist with over 4 years of experience. I studied in the best makeup school in my city and came in first place in my promotion year. Since then I’ve been continuously improving my skills through various masterclasses and online courses with the best makeup artists, to ensure that I can offer various makeup styles to my clients and give my absolute best to each of them.
Further Support:
We're excited to be able to offer free one-to-one mentoring for LGBTQIA+ people aged 16 to 30 years old.

Our mentoring is holistic and allows you to explore who you are, what makes you powerful, and how you can channel that into your career. We have an expert team to get you started before finding you a mentor who can guide you in your specific industry of choice.
