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."

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

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
