Most of the staff are really helpful, they answer your questions and emails very quickly. However if you don t have any retail experience it can be difficult to find a job. This school is very expensive but the education is good. All the teachers have their own way of applying makeup and teaching.

Their makeup products however are extremely cheaply made and kind of just sit on top of your face, they re also extremely irritating. The eyeshadows and powder makeup are not highly pigmented and cannot be used for professional shoots/ work. You will most likely need to buy an entire brand new kit costing 2-3 thousand, as you know foundations can cost $30-50 per shade and expire in about 1 year.

If you want to work in a retail space you should get a few years of retail experience. If you want to do bridal makeup or work for a company then I suggest working on your portfolio to showcase your talents. They do offer free photo shoots for you work, ask the staff which days they host this shoots. Only go to this school if you re 100% sure that this is what you want to pursue as a career. I know YouTube and Instagram make this career so glamorous but they don t show you the hard work and dedication it takes to get to where you want to be. If you re very shy and not a people person then I would suggest a different career path and for you to save your money. If you want to do freelance work then you re going to have to travel and carry your kit around it can be quite heavy and hard to navigate around the city, if you drive then this shouldn t be a problem.

I also suggest attending a licensing program first such as esthiology or cosmetology. These programs contain some Makeup training and places will be more inclined to hire you if you re licensed.
