To Vogueboy:
Hi , Blanche MacDonald Institute is cool, I looked it. So sad, but this centre is in US. Do you know something similar like this centre in United Kingdom???
It removed your link, can you pm your site to me? I would love to see also! I'm also very interested in QC makeup academy. Just want to make sure it's going to be worth the $$$$.Originally Posted by KarmaLynn /img/forum/go_quote.gif
I love QC makeup academy.
I am almost done with my first unit and it's been so helpful and the payment plans are amazing. I'm enrolled in the masters makeup artistry course.
I have my own website at (Link removed per TOS)
and am well on my way to a successful career!
I was wondering that when you were finished with your master makeup artist course, if I could buy your books from you...Originally Posted by KarmaLynn /img/forum/go_quote.gif
& yes it is all online but also very hands on. you do makeup on peers and it's very important that you do this; sometimes youll do makeup on mature skin, other times you need dry or oily skin..so not everything can be done on yourself!
I personally have not taken any long distance courses from QC Makeup Academy or any other school. They may be great, I can't say for sure. 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!
