Great value for money, structured and efficient, results exceeded my expectations

I have just finished Simon's Intelligent Fitness skills 10-week program and I couldn't be more happier, these were money well spent. At the beginning I was little bit sceptical, but man, how wrong I was. Few weeks into the program I've already felt and seen improvement and after full 10 weeks results just exceeded my expectations. I would recommend this program to anyone who struggles with his/her fitness or can't find any good fit for them, or just don't know where to start. This is the way to go. It will be painful at the beginning, but so rewarding in the end.

Fantastic online makeup course for all skill levels ⭐️

I thoroughly enjoyed taking Alex’s makeup course. There’s so much to cover in a few hours but Alex touched on all of the important key points. As a more seasoned makeup artist, I still walked away with a new perspective on the various steps in a makeup application. This course is great for all skill levels. Highly recommend and hope to see more online classes from Alex.

Alex Babsky Makeup skills

I absolutely love the format, Alex' teaching style and the fact that 4 completely different models were used for this course. However, I was quite disappointed that all 4 models have perfect skin, full lips, and beautiful big eyelids. This is definitely not the reality for a MUA, so for me it missed its point. In addition to this, working with good hygiene is also a big part of being a MUA, and this matter hasn't been adressed once... This course definitely is perfect for beginners, but in my opinion not worth it for skilled professionals.

I have been a makeup artist for 36…

I have been a makeup artist for 36 years in our local union 706. Our worth is measured by being able to paint a pretty face with accuracy and speed most of all. The 1st section of the classes blew my mind because we are not allotted any time to do the cleaning. Just moisturizing, which if the actors face is not clean becomes a nightmare. Because the cream lifts the excess skin and dirt and now you’re dancing around in it. It makes holes in the finish that requires more and more coverage. Sometimes out of frustration I would wipe the cream off and start again which would work better but take up the time needed to paint the face. Thanks for showing your method and the explanation for it. I will try to incorporate a mini version of your method into my beauty makeups while still staying within the parameters of the producers contractually set time limits. Also who makes those double sized facial tissues? They seem very lux. And one last thing, I use Epicuren products for the prep. I am going to introduce their cream cleanser into the mix. I wanted to know if the toner you’re using leans more to the astringent side…? Thanks. I am really enjoying your techniques, Even with my experience I am delighted to learn new methods, your work is beautiful.

Perfect short course for budding makeup artists…

I completed a professional makeup course this year and Alex Babsky’s short course popped up on my Facebook feed and If I was to become a makeup artist I need to learn all I can, so I paid for the course and all I can say it put a lot into perspective when it came to skin prep and makeup application. The techniques he applied to the models and his reasoning on the application and techniques was explained in a way where it cleared up a lot of grey areas from the course I completed. Also by seeing what he included in his makeup kit and the products he used, also gives further insight on which are good products to use, especially for those in the beginner stages in becoming a professional makeup artist. Super excited to get into the industry.

Perfect makeup course from Alex Babsky

I bought the makeup course by Alex Babsky and it's been so good that I've already finished it.
3 hours of practical tips and makeup tricks from one of the best makeup artists of the world I'd say.
Absolute must for people who like to enhance their look.

Greg Williams Photography Courses

The Greg Williams Candid Photography and Professional Photography courses are fantastic. Really straightforward and easy to digest, engaging and informative.

Perfectly pitched and (even if I say so myself) I’m taking much better pictures as a result.

I signed up for a photography course as a first purchase from your website and I love it 100%. The short lessons are engaging and easy to take in. I also like the quiz to help the lesson sink in.
