What Students Say About Level 1 Complete Beauty Class...

Amanda Abram
Makeup Arist
Terri is an amazing makeup educator! I have taken several classes with her from color theory to hair styling for makeup artist to airbrushing. I cannot express how patient she is with students.
If you have been thinking of taking a class with her…DO IT! You will not regret it. She keeps her classes small and personable. Terri gives so much valuable information you cannot find anywhere else.
