@Bonnie - NP is a great school, from what I have heard. I used to walk by their store every day! Have you looked into MUD in Burbank? That is one of the best. Super expensive but they do offer financial aid!

I can tell you that there are A LOT of great books out there and videos that you can get a hold of for free or very inexpensive. The thing about make up is that the only thing that is going to help you get better at it is practice. My suggestion would be invest in some great books to read about all the different techniques and then have your friends comeover and practice. Take pictures each time so that you can compare and start to see your progess. You can also buy great starter kits on line for around $600, camerareadycosmetcs.com has great ones. After you get comfortable have a photographer do a portfolio party with you. It will help you get quality pictures. Most makeup lines just ask you to submit shots of your work and a business card saying you are a makeup artist to get a discount on there line.
All that being said, the distance course may be worth it BUT you can also do it on your own if you have a tight budget.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
