Just want to say a huge thank you for the course, and all the help you have gave me! Even after the course we are still in contact trying to put together the perfect kit! Couldnt thank you enough Lisa Devanny. The course has give me so much confidence with makeup and I can’t wait to work alongside you in the future and hopefully attend more courses! I have not only learnt so much over the 5 days but made some amazing friends who I know I will be keeping in touch with, couldn’t recommend this academy anymore. Thank you!! xxx
Dana Grafton I really recommend taking on this course, the support is just amazing constantly a priority when needing help, Lisa knows, not only how to apply makeup to perfection but how to learn others to do so up to high standards to! Went from knowing little to being able to analyse faces, colour matching etc in just two weeks ✨
I’m currently doing the 3 week makeup course at NEMUA with Lisa and I highly recommend it. I have gone into makeup as a complete beginner to being able to apply full makeup, lashes and ana-lyse face shapes in only 2 weeks! I am so pleased I opted for the 3 week course as it has gotten really technical and I’m loving learning about the industry trends.. I don’t want to leave, Lisa is so lovely. I’ve already booked other courses at the salon so I can come back in the future.
