“Education through QC Makeup Academy has been a game-changer for me. I have learned the fundamentals that create makeup looks, and so much more!"
Haley Warkentin
Master Makeup Artistry
"I've learned that trends are trends; they come and go. When doing bridal, keep it timeless. Listen very carefully to your client and deliver what they want."
Evenlyn Czaja
Master Makeup Artistry / Pro Makeup Workshop
"Use of concealer. I am using it regularly for a more youthful appearance, as well as minimizing some “lines.”"
Jessica Van G
Master Makeup Artistry / Pro Makeup Workshop / Skincare
"My online makeup classes have taught me that nothing beats the basics! Know the basics and you're set for life; whatever avenue you choose to follow in this industry. Looks may come and go, but the knowledge we gain in this program will never go out of style. Also, proper color correcting is a GAME-CHANGER!"
Sarah Kuntz
Master Makeup Artistry / Skincare
"Even though I’m still working on symmetry, I’m learning A LOT from QC's online makeup classes that I truly didn’t know before. How important it is to use transition shades is my HUGE takeaway from this course so far. Transition shades are SO important to brighten up the eyes, and make blending easier and softer."
Harleen Kaur Talwar
Master Makeup Artistry / Pro Makeup Workshop / Hair Styling Essentials
"Education through QC Makeup Academy's online makeup classes has changed my life forever. I have not only learned the basics of makeup; I've also have gotten self-confidence, to which I'm always thankful to QC Makeup Academy!"
Sara Carvalho
Master Makeup Artistry
"I have learned that 'symmetry is hard eye liner' is not my best friend right now. Instead, practicing, not giving up on myself, and learning the basics and fundamentals (instead of learning from YouTube and Instagram) are all far more important to my education. I have also learned to love myself and be proud of my work more and more everyday!"
Daniela Kolehouse
Master Makeup Artistry
"The #1 thing I’ve learned from my online makeup classes is to be patient and trust the learning process. Makeup seems so easy; we tend to underestimate the techniques, precision and discipline behind a look. But I’ve learned to see makeup as an artistic science. There is structure and symmetry needed - but when creativity also comes in place, it can transform a 'simple look' into a masterpiece!"
Manica Jacques
Master Makeup Artistry / Pro Makeup Workshop
"I learned that a little bit at a time makes a big difference, I learned the concept of makeup, real technique, and a new way of thinking! I learned to take my time when applying eyeshadow, because the power of blending is awesome! Thank you, QC Makeup Academy!"
Eglė Šapalienė
Master Makeup Artistry / Portfolio Development Workshop
"First thing I learned from my online makeup classes is that skin has undertones, and that eye makeup is nothing without primer and base shadow!"
Makayla Andrews
Master Makeup Artistry / Portfolio Development Workshop
"Since enrolling in QC's online makeup classes, I’ve learned that every application and step needs to having meaning behind it. Knowledge is power and with that, I’ve learned what it means to apply makeup in the REAL world. I’ve learned the importance of symmetry, and how to apply classic makeup techniques on people with all different features. What’s really taught me is that practice makes perfect! There’s always something to learn and grow from. The learning never stops!"
Cheri Stevens
Master Makeup Artistry
"The #1 thing that I have learned from my online makeup classes at QC Makeup Academy is that less is definitely more! I am a mature student, and as I go through my learning, I love the simple, natural approach to applying makeup. This way, I can easily transition to TV and movie makeup!"
Delilah Alers-Kane
Master Makeup Artistry / Pro Makeup Workshop
"The #1 thing that I have learned from QC's online makeup classes is the importance of proper. As a makeup artist, being in someone's personal bubble is unavoidable. In this time, during this pandemic, proper hygiene not only protects you, but your clients as well!"
