I had the honor of being taught under the Great, Wendy Ann Rosen. Wendy Ann taught me everything
I needed for jumpstarting my freelance makeup career. Because of Wendy Ann, I feel confident that
I can complete any makeup task to the best of my ability. Wendy Ann opened up my eyes to the world
of makeup artistry and taught me everything from the basics to master techniques used by some
of the most renown and successful artists in the business today. Her years of professional experience
ranging from "A" list celebrities to editorials and fashion shows, all throughout the
world, make her an asset in the field of education for anyone who is serious about pursuing makeup
artistry as a career. One thing I love about Wendy Ann is the passion that she encumbers for teaching
and for the artistry. Wendy Ann is driven to educate each person to the best of her ability and
never hesitates to explain or demonstrate no matter what the question or situation may be. Without
the learning experience from Wendy Ann, I would have never accomplished as much as I have in such
a short period of time. As a student under Wendy Ann, you will learn so much valuable information
by someone who is so hand's on with every individual. The type of one-on-one education you receive
from someone as accomplished as Wendy Ann is something you cannot find from any other educator
or facility. Working under Wendy Ann was definitely the best decision that I have made and it
is something I will always be grateful for. From the bottom of my heart, I thank Wendy Ann for
the education and the lifelong friendship that I acquired from this experience.

What isn't there to say about Wendy Ann? I could go on for hours! Not only is she a great teacher
and great make up artist, she is a great person. She treats all her students with respect and does
not treat them like she is superior. She allows you to create a friendship with her and shows you
how to be the best person that you can be, both creatively and in life. Wendy Ann's ability to be
detail oriented also sets her apart from the other teachers I have had in my life, both in and out
of my various learning environments. What is great about this aspect of her personality and teaching
style is that in the process of being so detail oriented she transforms you creatively in just as
much of a detail oriented person. You will find your self striving for excellence after you have
had Wendy Ann in your life. She is AMAZING and I miss dearly having her in my life as a teacher
and a friend!

More than an educator, Wendy Ann Rosen is a remarkable motivator,
friend and an inspiration. Without her guidance, my success in the industry as a make-up artist
would be short of the perfection, and detailed skills I acquired from her. I never expected to gain
such knowledge and understanding of the business I was about to pursue when I first met Wendy Ann,
fall of 2006. From the beginning, I took an extreme fondness to Wendy Ann not only for her accomplishments
as an artist, but as an idol to one day live up to. Her attention to the needs of her students is
illustrated by the improvement each individual makes throughout instruction. Even after my completion
with Wendy Ann, I felt inspired to learn more. Her vast knowledge of make-up makes me want to continue
to study under her in hopes of learning even a fraction of what she has picked up in her years of
experience. She has a unique love for the business, and her desire to pass it on to others is fully
evident. Wendy Ann has continued to be an icon of support for me, and without her drive to keep
me going I would lose the confidence needed to succeed. My extreme appreciation for her cannot be
expressed enough, for she is a large part of the reason I continue to persevere to make a name for
myself. I fully urge any aspiring make-up artist to take the opportunity to work with Wendy Ann
to gain the technique and skills one must demonstrate as an artist. I can testify that there is
no one more capable or notable than Wendy Ann Rosen.

On behalf of Wendy Ann Rosen, I would like to say what an
honor it has been to have worked along side her as not only a make-up artist but as her manager
at MAC’s global flagship location. In the 5 years that I was able to work with Wendy Ann,
she showed an insatiable appetite for perfection when it came to make-up, cleanliness, customer
service and industry knowledge. Wendy Ann brings to the table a plethora of experience that
has taken her around the globe. Wendy Ann has worked in every facet of the make-up business.
Her eclectic style and enigmatic presence are magnets that entice people to want to always be in
her presence. Wendy Ann is a great listener and loves to investigate in order to resolve issues
for customers especially when it comes to their make-up needs. Wendy Ann will always make
a place feel a little more magical because she is there. This is why she has such a strong following.

Wendy Ann or “WAR”
as I like to call her, has been a friend, a mentor, a collaborator and a fellow artist of mine
for well over a decade.
She can “beat face” like no other and with her sparkling personality, humorous advice
and fun demeanor…you have the best! Talented beyond what is required today, WAR has the
expertise to do the Queen of England!

I have been given the opportunity to experience the wonders of Wendy Ann Rosen. I feel it is important
to capture first and foremost the mentor she is to me. I have never attended a makeup school,
only art school. I learned makeup by working along side many great and motivated artists in the
industry. Wendy Ann being at the top of that list, I took advantage of her expertise for over
3 years. I hold profound respect for her established artistry. In her interest to share herself,
her mind, and her brushstrokes with others as a teacher is honorable. She offers decades of experience,
inspiration, creativity, and demonstration of her focused ability. Wendy Ann generates energy
and conversation with all and adapts to others in a way I envy. It seems as though she can relate
to anyone at any time. She captivates an audience of one to a thousand as she shares her tone,
her style, her objective. I have been waiting for the day that Wendy Ann broadens her influence.
She comes first to my mind when thinking of a great teacher. I am enthusiastic to invite many
makeup wanderers to her world.

My time spent with Wendy Ann Rosen was amazing. From day one I knew not only that
she was incredibly talented, but that she was also invested in my growth as an artist, she was
reliable, honest and straight-forward with me. Being fairly new to the makeup world I was worried
about perfecting my craft and being able to handle myself in this very competitive field of work.
Wendy Ann's patience, her eye for detail, her ability to really make you strive to perfect each
application, making it better than the last, has in my opinion made every day spent with her priceless.
Her perfectionism, her experiences and her inspiring career make me strive to be an equally successful
and respected artist. I attribute a lot of my confidence and growth to having Wendy Ann as a mentor,
and I am glad to now have her as a colleague and a friend.

Wendy Ann is one of the best and coolest teachers I have ever had the privilege
of studying under. During my class time with her, she taught me that the littlies things make a
huge difference no matter what. She made me strive to be the best that I could be. At the beginning
of my course I was struggling with lips, with her help, I was able to conquer lining and defining
lips. I love her approach, she is down to earth, tells it like it is. Wendy Ann expresses herself
extremely well and I felt I could ask any question no matter how insignificant it is. Wendy Ann
taught many tips and tricks that I still use to this day. Wendy Ann’s experience in the makeup
industry is invaluable, expect to learn great amounts of knowledge, and be prepared to take your
craft to the next level.

I feel blessed that a person such as Wendy Ann Rosen came into my life. I had
the pleasure and honor of working alongside Wendy Ann for over 3 years. Wendy Ann's nearly unfathomable
knowledge and expertise in the industry becomes markedly apparent within minutes of speaking with
her. The depth of knowledge and advice that Wendy Ann openly shares is possessed by a very elite
few in the entire industry which is why I feel extremely fortunate that she was gracious enough
to share this vast knowledge and expertise with me. I feel that she is not only a mentor but also
a close friend and someone who I can always look to whenever I have any questions about the industry.
Her pursuit of perfection has not only made her someone who is highly sought after as a makeup artist
but also as a teacher. By nature, Wendy Ann is charming, gregarious, witty, and charismatic. These
qualities combined with her decades of industry experience, her zeal to share her knowledge with
others, and her unwavering patience make her an obvious choice as a teacher and a mentor. She continues
and always will be a great source of inspiration to me. Wendy Ann sparks something inside that encourages
you to pursue your dreams. Without her, I never would have had the confidence to pursue my dream
of opening up my own makeup studio. I am forever grateful for the inspiration that she has provided,
for the wealth of knowledge that she has imparted, and most notably for her lifelong friendship.
