Luisa Leckie Fashion Stylist

I attended Glam Candy to attain my HNC, I not only achieved my qualification but I have went on to start up my own business with the knowledge and experience I gained. The tutors were very professional and highly experienced in every aspect of the industry. I gained a huge amount of knowledge but had so much fun and got the chance to do photo shoots and so many other opportunities. I highly recommend GlamCandy to anyone interesting in pursuing a career in makeup!
