SUCCESS STORY
Meet Rachel
Life Changing
“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
Julianne Loft
"I took the Special FX makeup program after my basic makeup. I wanted to be a professional SFX makeup artist for film.
I learned so much more than just makeup. We covered the business side of the industry including how to network and market yourself to gain employment. The kits were very well stocked, covering everything we needed.
The training prepared me and once finished, I felt ready to jump into my new career with confidence!
I got employment right out of school because of everything I learned and highly recommend this school and program!"
Kelsey Clark
"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!”
