"So You Aesthetics" Lash Workshop

On Monday 24th March, students were excited to participate in a lash workshop, conducted  by "So You Aesthetics” to learn the skills and techniques necessary for lash application.

It was extremely successful and students enjoyed it so much that they nearly overran and wanted to stay longer. Due to the success of the first workshop  "So You Aesthetics", have volunteered to conduct two more afterschool sessions for our students.

Each student was given a free cosmetic bag containing a mannequin head, lashes, glue, glue remover and tweezers, so they could practice their newly acquired skills at home. 

A huge thank you to Ms Francis and "So You Aesthetics" for arranging / conducting these workshops!!

The next two workshop will take place in May and we are looking forward to them!
