Attending The Rouge School has been an amazing experience. I learned so many new skills on my course and was given the confidence to try new things I never thought I would. Robyn & Sian are amazing tutors, approachable, supportive and very encouraging. They give you a really good insight into the industry and prepare you for a career as a Make-up Artist. I couldn’t recommend it enough.
Louise, 2016I study make-up in college and felt I needed that one to one in-depth lesson to gain more skill, and I came away with so much. I was a bit nervous as I didn’t know what to expect but they made me feel so comfortable and they went out of their way to make me feel at ease and taught me so much. Not only did I go away with new skills I went away feeling so confident in myself and that is priceless. I will be coming back again soon, it was totally inspirational and I loved every minute of it.
