    I heard about Donna when she was in UK and I attended the London Courses. They were so fantastic, and the information Donna gave us, I wrote 25 pages of notes in just 2 days. While I was there a lot of people were talking about the Beauty Boot Camp and I knew I had to get on that. You know what you get from her compared to other people is great.

    The colour theory was amazing, because of how you can apply it. It’s not just you looking at a palette saying ‘what do I put on someone’. So I think that’s massive. And with my own skin tone, I’ve been given the wrong foundation for 37 years, where people always give me a pink foundation whereas I’m actually yellow. So that was amazing to finally get the right colour foundation. Contour and highlight and how little you use, and its not all the stripes all over the face the different one stroke is amazing what it can do to someone’s face. I would say book it now. You can’t afford not to.You’re not going to get this education from anyone else. And it is from what Donna has learned over the years from hard lessons and we are getting it all in the space of a few weeks. ”
