Choosing this makeup academy has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. The curriculum is rich, covering everything from fundamentals to advanced techniques solidly. There are also ample practical opportunities, which have allowed me to learn a great deal of professional makeup skills.
The teachers are also very experienced. They not only teach us makeup techniques hands-on but also share a lot of practical experience within the industry. The learning atmosphere is also great; everyone loves makeup and helps each other. Now that I've graduated, I can confidently apply the skills I learned here in my work. I am truly grateful for the school's training.

My studies at makeup school were truly an unforgettable experience. Here, I not only learned basic makeup techniques but also how to express my personal style and professional attitude through makeup. The instructors were particularly patient, and their guidance helped me improve my makeup skills step by step.
The practical exercises and course practice have given me a deeper understanding of makeup and allowed me to gain considerable hands-on experience, which has been very helpful. I am very grateful for the guidance of the makeup academy, which allows me to continue advancing toward my dreams.
Hua | From SPM Graduation to Professional Makeup Artist

During my time taking classes at Backstage, I experienced a variety of ups and downs, but what remained constant was that I had teachers and classmates to go through it with me. When I encountered bottlenecks, problems, or unhappiness, they were there. When I made progress, achieved results, or grew, they were happier and prouder than I was.
The biggest sense of disappointment after graduation is that when working alone, there are no longer teachers behind me silently protecting me. I have to be more careful and responsible in everything I do, and I have to bear everything myself. It's only then that I realize how happy I was when I was still in school.
