WHAT KA LAM'S STUDENTS SAY
“Ka Lam is a gifted makeup artist and a wonderful person. We did a group makeup class her and we had so much fun. We learned such helpful makeup techniques - with awesome product recommendations. And we also loved her emphasis on skin care, as healthy skin is the secret to looking great. Highly recommended!!”
LIZ, GROUP MAKEUP CLASS, 2025
“I attended two make up classes. Ka Lam was very professional and experienced . She was also very friendly and patient . She gave me a lot of tips and info in terms of the best make up products. She also guided me through step by step the correct ways to apply the make up products. I could have never known those products and appropriate ways to do my makeup without attending her class. I would highly recommend her make up class.”
