We are taught the history of makeup, sanitation, the color wheel, proper tool use and placement among many other things. If you want to become a professional makeup artist this is the best place for you to learn to perfect you skills. This is not a class this is a course. Also Mrs. Stallings is the owner of Colour U cosmetics which is what we use in class. I highly recommend this course and this school!

She became my wax tech. It was only natural to support her new passion, teaching. I decided to get a Brazilian wax and my eyebrows done by her students. Both which could be uncomfortable for different reasons. However, she made what could have been an uncomfortable service very pleasant. I was very at ease as she was patient with her students all while making sure I was comfortable. Her new location allows for the much needed privacy and offering a full spa experience. I would highly recommend the Pink Lotus whether you're a client looking for a great experience or a student looking for a great school and instructor this is the place you want to go!
