SUCCESS STORY

Meet Rachel

Life Changing

by Rachel

“After having a horrific accident, I knew I needed a life change and had always dreamed of becoming a makeup artist. I looked into many school but chose Artists Within after speaking to the team and doing a tour. I loved that the owner of the academy was involved day to day and how knowledgable she was about the industry. It felt like a positive and encouraging environment which is what I needed. Because of my accident I wasn’t sure I could attend daily so opted hesitantly for the virtual option. The instructor I had was so thorough and patient when we met for virtual classes and the video demos and content were extremely detailed. I didn’t once second guess my virtual decision. I went on to take the Honors Makeup Diploma, and have been focusing primarily on movie productions for the last three years. I love that I have the knowledge to also take advantage of making large amounts of money doing weddings when the film work isn’t as demanding. Artists Within really prepared me for every aspect of the industry, I felt very confident when I left school, and have really exceeded my own expectations of myself. I am so thankful I took this path and had Artists Within show me the way!“

THE ARTISTS WITHIN IMPACT

Barbara Bannon

Makeup Artistry Honor Graduate

“Since graduating last year I have done everything from client makeup applications, weddings, magazine shoots, a commercial, and have assisted on a movie production...all in one year! I cannot tell you how grateful I am to the AW team for helping me get to the point where I truly am living the life I have always wanted. They have also helped with any questions after graduating"

Kelsey Clark

Makeup Artist Honors Graduate

"My dream has always been to work on movie productions. I'm actually doing it thanks to the training I received from Artists Within. The detail of each course really helped me prepare for what I needed as an on-set makeup artist. It was very easy to transition from school to actually doing it. I don't even feel like I'm working because I love what I do so much!"
