Parents who also started with zero experience — and are now confidently face painting their children.
Anouk,
na 1 dag oefenen
“Ik heb nu meer zelfvertrouwen tijdens het schminken”
Ik merkte dat ik steeds dezelfde designs maakte. Deze cursus gaf me zoveel nieuwe ideeën en technieken dat ik nu veel makkelijker varieer.
Ilse,
moeder van 2 meiden
“Nooit geweten dat er zoveel variatie is in glitter"
De glittermodule vond ik echt een pluspunt. Nu weet ik wat ik veilig kan gebruiken bij mijn dochters.
Marieke,
Schminkt regelmatig
"Meer dan alleen de basis"
Ik vind het leuk dat je niet alleen gezichten leert schminken, maar ook arm-designs. Dat maakt het veel afwisselender.
