Student Testimonials

 

"Linda's demonstrations are thorough, the hands-on practice is invaluable, and the small class size allows for plenty of individual attention. Most makeup courses teach only ONE way of doing makeup and, as a result, stifle students' creativity. Linda embraces the creative aspects of makeup and encourages students to find their own individual style. She is a true artist and a makeup genius!"

- Jackie McKeon, August 2008 Intensive

 "Being an international makeup artist, I was looking for something new and challenging to add to my skill and talent. Linda inspired me to experiment with color, encouraged freedom of expression and shared her many years of insightful  experiences.Linda Mason's make up classes were not only fun and filled with creativity, but it was the inspiration I was seeking."

"Thank you again for hosting your workshop.  I feel like I experienced a total makeup immersion and transformed into a more confident and skilled artist because of your coaching and guidance.
The week of my return to New Hampshire, I had three photographers contact me to do photo shoots for advertising purposes.  The timing was perfect.  I felt completely at ease in their studios and got a chance to use many of the techniques I learned in yours."

"I loved the class. Linda was very patient with each of us during the class. She showed me how to do different kinds of make up each day. Also, she inspired me to become an artist. It was a wonderful experience to learn from Linda."

"My goal is to have a truly professional portfolio to submit to the modeling agencies in our area so that I can be on their list of makeup artists.  I am well on my way thanks to you. I would recommend your classes to anyone who inquires."

"Linda's workshop gave me the confidence I needed to pursue my career in makeup and take it to the next level. It was a very personal setting so we could get our individual needs met. The best part is that Linda continues to support me throughout my career and I know that she is there to help and guide me however she can and that is something that I couldn't have gotta from any other training."

"I had a wonderful time at Linda Mason's workshops, learning all the secrets and skills of applying makeup I still  remember her words, she is very detailed oriented which is crucial in that kind of art, she caters to all kinds of nationalities and ethnic backround. I am of Syrian origin. I really appreciated the photo  shoots that were done outdoor, they gave you a different spectrum, you apply the makeup and see how it appears on the screen. My favorite was doing fashion shows. I had a wonderful experience and definitly recommended her workshops to anyone interested in learning the art of makeup for a living or for your own personal looks".

In addition to my teaching jobs, I've been doing wedding makeup.  I had a wedding on Sunday and I have two this Saturday.  I'm also going to be teaching a few makeup workshops in the Spring through an adult education program.  And I think my hair salon is going to have me do makeup for their yearly photo shoot.  Makeup artistry has quickly become much more than just a hobby for me, and I am amazed at how natural that transition has felt.  There are very few life experiences that drastically alter your life and the way you view yourself.  Your class did that for me.  Thank you for helping me to rediscover myself!

I took the Linda Mason Intensive course already knowledgeable in makeup artistry. I immediately fell in love with Linda's approach to teaching. You learn to be free to express yourself. You learn that it's okay to break some "rules". I remember on the last day of the class Linda helped me push through my block and the end result was awesome. She's a true artist and teacher!
