QC Makeup Academy is probably the second best decision of my life, next to my kids! As a woman in her 50's, changing career paths isn't easy, but QC made it so. With distance learning being the only option for most of us these days, this was a logical choice and the payment options make it affordable for everyone! I love the education I am getting with QC!

I enrolled in QC Makeup Academy’s Master Makeup Course to enhance my skills as a community theatre makeup artist. The course boosted my confidence and professionalism, leading me to start a mobile makeup business and work in character makeup for stage and film. I also freelance as a bridal makeup artist.
The training provided invaluable techniques and hygiene practices that go beyond social media tutorials. Clients often comment on my professionalism, hygiene habits, and delicate touch.
Confidence is a major skill to have as a makeup artist. This learned ability comes from being taught all the baseline techniques needed to become a sought-after artist. I’ll always be grateful for everything I’ve learned—and continue to build on every day.
I’ve also completed the Skincare Course and Hair Styling Essentials. These added skills make me a triple threat! 😊 I’m currently working on my Pro Makeup Artist Certificate.
