Testimonials:

Makeup First has significantly changed my life for the better. I started the program with only an interest in theatrical makeup and it turned into a passion for every aspect of makeup. It has taken me on a path that I never thought I would walk and I am forever grateful. Jill Glaser and Dave Bova are the most caring instructors that I have ever had. Their genuine belief in my developing talent and wanting me to succeed gave me motivation and confidence when I doubted myself. They will honestly critique your work and give you necessary feedback so that you will grow. Even after finishing the program, I still seek guidance and advice from Jill and have formed a life-long bond. Thanks!
