Mastered students took part in a masterclass with Condé Nast’s beauty director, Kathy Phillips. The entire team was sourced from the Mastered network, including the hair session stylist. The finished looks were shot by renowned beauty photographer Simon Emmett and featured in Vogue China.

“Mastered woke me up when I started the program. I quit my job and started to pursue my dreams of session work.”

"Mainly mastered had influenced my attitude. I feel more confident in my ideas, less afraid to stand out. I have been arranging more and more of my creative shoots and I am more confident that I really am meant to do this."

Ayoe Nissen

“My Mastered program has really introduced me to a side of my industry I didn't know much about. I have new things to challenge me and I truly believe that always improves all areas of life in a positive way. ”
