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!"

FAQ

  • Are you an accredited school?

    We are an accredited government licensed school with Alberta Private Career Colleges, and also accredited with the international school board ITEC, providing internationally recognized training. When you choose an accredited school it means that a board governs their courses, which protects your interests as a student.

  • Do I need any prior makeup knowledge?

    None! Our courses are set up to take you from novice to expert upon completion.

  • Do you have funding options?

    We do! You can apply for a government student loan if you live in Canada as we are an approved, licensed, post-secondary school. You can also use RESP’s or can look at payment options through ‘Affirm' when you pay the balance of your fees online. Another option is to check with your back to see if they offer a student credit line.

  • What do I need to complete the course?

    You receive your makeup kit on the first day of class. You don’t need anything other than a device (mobile, tablet, desktop) and a good internet connection to access your course platform. The only other requirement is a passion for makeup of course!

  • When do I gain access to the course?

    You will receive access to the student platform as soon as you pay your deposit and register but won’t get access to your course until the start date you choose. You can access you course 24/7 during your enrolment period via your student dashboard.
