SPRING-SUMMER OF 2025
I really appreciated the discussions in the PMB Academy classes. Discussing color theory, skin tones, eye shapes, etc— made it so much easier for my transition to hands-on. The instructor did amazing with this. The classroom environment was so sweet, warm, and so welcoming! Any mistakes I made had good constructive criticism, which made a wonderful learning environment. PMB academy has helped me to advance in my artistry, especially with practicing on all types of models. That has truly helped me succeed with my makeup artistry career. Investing in these classes is so worth it. Education is always continuous, especially with trends and the bridal/event industry. Come into these classes like a sponge, you will soak up and grasp the entire realm of makeup artistry. -Gisselle
The real time feedback from the instructor was so valuable for perfecting my work and skill. The class is so friendly and warm, all the women are so supportive. This has definitely helped me professionally with my work and career. Before PMB Academy I was doing small events, but after learning so many techniques, I’ve gone on to doing bridal makeup for weddings every weekend. This is 100% worth it. You get so much knowledge for when you do go into the field. In my experience, this is the best thing I’ve ever done to help me excel in my career! - Ashley
Having the in-person hands on approach with the instructor was so immensely helpful. She taught me how to hold my tools and position my hands properly. The students come from different backgrounds and are so sweet! There’s no competitiveness, everyone supports each other! These classes have helped me in my hairstyling career and gave me so much confidence. As a mom, PMB Academy has helped me prove to myself and to my children that it’s never too late to go for your dreams! These amazing classes have helped me know that I’m worth it! I’ve done so many virtual education courses, but nothing compares to this hands-on PMB academy experience. This is an investment in yourself and your career. Thank you so much PMB Academy and all of the instructors for such a wonderful and life-changing - Riley
