  • I loved the workshops on special effects/zombie style makeup. I’m really pleased with everything I achieved on the course, my skills have definitely improved and I also understand more about design.

  • I’ve learnt a lot the last weeks. Having all of the make-up looks recorded in the photoshoot was fantastic. I’d recommend coming to AUB during the summer to anyone who wants to develop a career in creative subjects.
