Testimonials

“Suzanne Patterson’s “Mist”tique and Technique Airbrush workshop provides the student a comprehensive knowledge base and a skill set essential to begin the art of airbrushing. As an instructor, she is very gifted with such great talent to mentor with. She has a very kind and patient way of teaching a very technical course! One thing I liked about this workshop is the extensive hands-on instruction, demonstration, and application of techniques with Suzanne’s close supervision.  The program encourages development of proper airbrush techniques that can later be transformed into more advanced application. Skill progression is limitless because of the hands-on laboratory experience.  Overall, I am so very happy that I took this workshop because I learned so much valuable skill and information.  It was such a wonderful opportunity to be mentored by a super nice, very experienced, and award winning master instructor. Suzanne, thank you very much!”

“I just wanted to thank you for the best airbrush workshop ever!  I have told many of my makeup friends about your class and how great it was.  I have learned much more than when I took that other airbrush class because this class was not product driven.  I’ve learned what to listen and look for in executing my airbrush skills when I practice..  This class gave me a better understanding on how it all works. I can’t wait to take your special makeup effects classes.  Please send me information regarding thost classes so I can sign up.”

“Suzanne, learned much in makeup, and your style in teaching is unique from formal makeup salons in my country. I don’t like how everyone comes out of makeup salons looking all the same. You give much information in creating a personal style, and I will forever be grateful.

“I can’t thank you enough for “paying it forward” in your workshop. Your patience, encouragement, and personality throughout the class was so appreciated and helpful. As a makeup artist who has never held an airbrush before I was not intimidated at all by it because your workshop was so thorough. Needless to say I learned more than I ever expected, and the investment was well worth it! I will strongly recommend this workshop to anyone”.

“I want you to know that I thoroughly enjoyed and greatly benefitted from thKnowledge Tool Set for Makeup in HD workshop! Since most of my knowledge and technique has come from practicing “in the field”, I appreciated your very complete approach to packaging yourself as a complete media makeup professional, and using tools that achieve better results. You showed us how to perfect techniques that build skill in execution and confidence to do so. I appreciated the discussion about the role and duty of the makeup artist, and your enthusiasm for passing on the wisdom gained from your decades of experience!”

“Your airbrush workshop provides an excellent foundation for any makeup artist who wants to add this skill to their makeup repertoire. You are clearly an expert in this field, and you present the information and hands-on work in a clear, easy- to-understand manner. Over the years I have attended many classes, workshops and seminars, and it is rare to find an instructor who has the combined knowledge and teaching ability that you possess. I highly recommend your workshops, not only for the above reasons, but also because they are comprehensive, thorough, and fun! The textbook you gave us will be an invaluable reference we can keep forever.”

“I really enjoyed taking the airbrush workshop! The materials, presentation, and flow of classwork was superb. The information was presented in a very professional manner, and the studio set-up was very conducive to learning the skill in a precise manner. A big plus of the workshop was the large amount of practical hands-on experience I got. It was a great advantage to be able to instantly apply the knowledge to experience in the laboratory phase. I would recommend this workshop to anyone in a heartbeat!”
