I recently finished all my 3 courses with Elite. Essential make up , advance make up and Hairstyling . I strongly recommend do all 3 courses. I realized beauty industry they want Someone can do make up and hair styling altogether. Justine has great knowledge for make up and hair styling . She has great sense of humour as well. During melbourne lock down time she even provide free online class once a week. It was great time to have laugh together and gain knowledge together. Another great things about Elite is providing work experience opportunities. Even after graduated Elite. Elite keep providing great work experiences . Though the those experiences will gain confidence. So someone like me who never done any make up and hair styling . Just go for it It never late to start. Just follow your heart . And good luck for all future HMUA And thank you again Justine and Sarah
