SUCCESS STORY

Meet Rachel

Life Changing

by Rachel

“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. 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. I wasn't sure about virtually learning makeup, 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 once I started. 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 finished classes, 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 took my online course from you. I learned so much which I constantly use. Everything you taught in the course, I use practically for my clients. Each detail I learned from you has really widened my knowledge and experience in the makeup industry. I have improved immensely with these techniques and get constant compliments of my work and consistent returning customers. The course was easy to follow, the assignments really helped me repeat the information and remember the details. I was surprised how detailed an online course could be, it was very good in every way. Lots of love ❤️ from India. Thank-you so much, Supreet Makeup Artist

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.

  • Can I actually learn makeup virtually online?

    We have been running our online platform since 2013. We have had 1000's of students succeed with our teaching methods. The course is incredibly detailed, from content, to demo videos, to assignments. Our regular meetings each week also help to keep you accountable, and cover a week at a time so it doesn't feel overwhelming.

  • What do I need to complete the course?

    We will ship your makeup kit to you before 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 chose. You can access you course 24/7 during your enrolment period via your student dashboard.

  • What if I need extra help?

    We don't find that students do need more help as the content is so detailed. Your instructor also walks you through the content each week explaining everything you need to cover. If you do require extra help, you can send us an email, call us or book a time for extra one on one with your instructor.

  • 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.
