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

Amanda Martin

Artists Within Graduate

“I took the Makeup Artist Diploma course virtually, which seamlessly integrated into my already busy routine, allowing me to start this career I’ve always longed to do, without having to give up my income source while learning. The virtual meetings with Phoebe my instructor, and detailed material made it so easy to follow and complete. Now, whether it’s television, commercials, or high-end fashion events, I feel confident with the skills I learnt, and am finally following my passion.”

Kathe Lemon

Editor-In-Chief, Avenue Magazine

At Avenue magazine we have worked with Artists Within makeup artists 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 have 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
