Testimonials

At VFS, we measure the success of our programs by what our students, alumni, and respected members of the industry have to say about us. Here's a sample of what people are saying about the Makeup Design for Film & Television experience at VFS.

To be a respected Makeup artist in today's film world requires more than a standard makeup education, it requires attending the VFS Makeup Design Program and learning from the best.

Howard Berger, KNB EFX Group, Los Angeles
Academy Award Winner, 2006 for makeup in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe. Special makeup effects supervisor on Kill Bill: Vol. 1 & 2, Transformers, and Drag Me to Hell.

[My year at VFS] taught me many things that have been able to pull our department out of some serious jams... I enjoyed every last bit of VFS.

Brent Krekoski
Makeup Design for Film & Television Graduate
Makeup Assistant, Surveillance

VFS taught me the fundamentals, but the most important thing is that it did this while allowing me to discover a personal style and expand my own creativity.

Elizabeth Good
Makeup Design for Film & Television Graduate
Makeup Artist, ESPN News/Sportscenter

I'd been doing stage and theatre makeup since I was thirteen, so a career in makeup just seemed so natural - I wanted to stay in Canada. I looked into schools in Vancouver and Toronto, but when I approached VFS I felt that they wanted me to be their student.

Lesley Rosiak
Makeup Design for Film & Television Graduate
Assistant Makeup Artist, Vampire Dog

I am so thankful that I chose this school over many other schools I researched in North America. All the instructors are great, they are skillful & educational. We learn a lot from each and every single class.

Amy Pang
Makeup Design for Film & Television Graduate
Makeup Artist, And Baby Will Fall

I have been offered advice by all the professionals on the set - the producer, special effects, the set decorator, makeup artists, etc. - and what they told me didn't sound new at all, because I'd already been taught just about everything they mentioned while at VFS.

Alice Chang
Makeup Design for Film & Television Graduate
Key Makeup Artist, Blood Brothers: Reign of Terror

I felt some of the best things I learned at VFS were set etiquette and vocabulary. It really helped me to feel comfortable on set and understand everything that was going on around me that didn't have anything to do with the makeup part of filmmaking.

Reagan Forsythe
Makeup Design for Film & Television Graduate
Makeup Artist, My Family's Secret
