Francesco is simply a great artist. I followed a 2 week Foundation full time course. He's a great instructor and mentor. I was an overseas student so was unable to do another course at the school which I most certainly would have had I lived in London. I'm not a complete beginner but I lacked confidence and that's something Francesco imparted to me so he's a fabulous mentor for anyone looking to start a career in this industry. One thing I learnt from Studio 50 is that you simply need lots of practice to gain confidence so it's not about doing a whole bunch of courses! And that confidence is something Studio 50 can offer if you already have passion to work in this industry. Something I must mention is that during the pandemic Francesco was still able to run the course under diligent hygiene standards and I was provided a model each day so I got to work on a variety of facial shapes and ethnicities. Franscesco also provides great aftercare for his graduate students as in he tries his best to secure placements. I'm from overseas so obviously the aftercare part of the course does not apply to me but for anyone living in UK this is a great opportunity. I highly recommend Studio 50 as a place to start your career as a professional Makeup Artist. Francesco the founder will provide you with great guidance and will be your mentor for life if you do wish to pursue in this field. He's talented beyond words@
