SUCCESS STORY

Meet Isabella

Dreams Come True

by Isabella

"Being a single mother, juggling a job and raising my daughter meant I had little time for my makeup dreams. The online option of this course was a godsend. I learned at my own pace, during late hours or early mornings. There was no pressure to stick to someone else's schedule which is just what I needed. Fast forward to today, I've worked on television sets, dolled up brides, and even had a stint at New York Fashion Week! This course not only taught me makeup, but it also gave me the confidence to believe in myself. Today, I'm living the life I dreamt of and deeply cherish."

THE ARTISTS WITHIN IMPACT

Amanda Kane

Artists Within Graduate

"The online makeup course was the cornerstone of my success. It seamlessly integrated into my routine, paving the way for me to master the art and craft of makeup. Now, whether it’s television, commercials, or high-end fashion events, I approach them with unparalleled confidence, skill, and passion."

Kathe Lemon

Editor-In-Chief, Avenue Magazine

At Avenue magazine we have worked with Artists Within makeup artist graduates for years on fashion and editorial photo shoots. The artists are always professional, pleasant and talented, which is why we go back to them year over year. I've also been so personally impressed with the quality of the makeup that the artists frequently used from their own AW03 collection that I started using it myself and now it's almost the only line I use.

Supreet Partal

Artists Within Graduate

I am so happy that I have taken my course from you. I have learned so much from you and whatever you taught in the course, I try to use practically. Each detail I learned from you has really widened my knowledge and experience in the makeup industry. I am so glad that I have improved a lot and I get lots and lots of compliments now. Lots of love ❤️ from India. Thank-you so much, Supreet Makeup Artist
