Gemma-Louise ManneringMaster Makeup Graduate

I signed up a while back with QC in the Master Makeup Artistry course. Absolutely loved it. Learned so much, and met so many people. I am getting out of my comfort zone in makeup and going to try the Airbrush & Special FX courses after I'm done the Pro with Nathan.

Candace LyttleMaster Makeup Graduate

I am thoroughly impressed with this program. WHERE TO START... As a former HS English teacher, I am so appreciative of the quality of writing in the content. It is intelligent, descriptive, clear, and thoughtful.
