I am 17 years old and have just started wearing makeup. Though I had already researched a lot about makeup and its application there were still many things I was mystified about. Like most girls my age, I was bombarded with so many different makeup products and how to apply them, I had really no idea what I was doing when I hopped in front of the mirror in the morning. And many women grow up still as clueless as they were in adolescence as to what they are doing with their makeup.

Clarissa showed me how to apply everything from the foundation up. She instructed me as to what tools to use for what products, tips as to how to make my makeup longer lasting, how to apply makeup for my skin type, and what colors worked for me. She also gave me invaluable care tips about caring for my skin and eyebrows. During my wardrobe consultation, Clarissa showed me what clothing colors flattered me and how to pair my clothes to create different looks and styles.

I had a refreshing and inspiring session with Clarissa that made me excited to try different looks and styles and that gave me some basic foolproof looks that I can confidently rely on every day.

I wanted to be a model ever since I can remember but I wasn’t’ sure how to get started. At The International Model University I was taught everything I needed to know to feel confident enough to approach agencies and to work on the runway at some of the events happening in my town. Clarissa is so nice and helped each girl with her confidence.

Being a model was my dream and thanks to The International Model University I learned how to put on make-up properly, how to pose for the camera and how to walk on a runway. It seemed so hard at first, but Clarissa Burt made it so easy to learn what I had to know to become a model.

Modeling looks so glamorous so I wanted to try it out just to see if I would like it. I found out a bunch of model tips and tricks that the supermodels use when they work and now I use them too. I especially liked walking on the runway and feeling so good about the way I looked. I LOVE The International Model University because now my self- esteem is great! Clarissa YOU ROCK!!

Thanks Clarissa for everything you taught me about modeling. I’m not 100% sure if I will become a model, but now I feel the self- confidence in my every day life because I know how to put on makeup and wear the right color clothes for me. I remember to stand straight every day so my posture is good now…and posing for the photographer is still my favorite part.

When I walk down the hall at school now I don’t feel self conscious like I did before. After I learned how to put on make-up to enhance my natural beauty and wear my hair the way they taught me at IMU I for sure feel really good about myself. I know what clothes look good on my and what ones not to wear. If I become a model someday I would love that, but until then my friends are telling me I look like one!

Thanks Awesome Clarissa….I love you and IMU for everything you taught us about how to look good, feel good, be good in our every day lives. I’m so glad I learned how to eat healthy foods from the nutrition class because I didn’t know much about all the fat and calories that are hidden in foods…..plus it was so much fun learning how to pose on the set with a real photographer! And I remember to tell myself every day that I AM ENOUGH!!!
