Carrie Peckford

“Prior to starting this course, family and friends told me I should be advertising for weddings but I wouldn't do it because I lacked confidence. Now, it's my job! When I started my MMA course, I created a business for myself called Flawless Finish - Mobile MUA. I started a Facebook page to showcase my assignments and progress, and that’s how I booked my first wedding!”

“
Cheryl Singer

“I enrolled in QC Makeup Academy's Master Makeup Course to enhance my skills as a community theatre makeup artist. The course boosted my confidence and professionalism, leading me to freelance as a bridal makeup artist and start a mobile makeup business and work in character makeup for stage and film. I have also completed the Skincare course as well as Hair Styling Essentials. These added skills make me a triple threat.”

Josie Luckel

“QC Makeup Academy gave me the confidence and foundation I needed to turn my dream of running a makeup business into something real. The course materials were incredibly detailed, easy to follow, and full of practical value. I especially appreciated the flexibility of the self-paced format, which allowed me to study while simultaneously building my business. Being able to gain real-world experience as I learned made my education all the more impactful. What started as a personal passion has now grown into a thriving career.”

Madelynn Viviano

“This course has truly helped me build so much confidence in myself and my skills as a makeup artist. Before starting, I doubted my abilities, but now I feel prepared and inspired to take the next step toward building my own business one day. I’ve learned so many valuable techniques and gained a deeper understanding of the artistry behind makeup. My tutor’s guidance and encouragement made such a difference! I’m so proud of how far I’ve come, and I’m excited for what’s ahead!”

“
Angelica Lynn

“I’ve been a licensed Cosmetologist for 10 years but the schools I attended never really dove into the specifics and techniques of makeup! I’m so grateful for the courses here, which have allowed me to freelance as a makeup artist for brides and local photographers. I highly recommend, even if you already have prior training, there is a LOT of great stuff to learn!”

“
Violeta Garza

“QC Makeup Academy has truly had a big impact on me. Going into the course, I just wanted to learn how to work with makeup and do my own, but over time, my love for the art grew—and I realized I could turn it into a career. I wanted to give each client the experience I’ve always looked for in a makeup artist. QC has shown me exactly that: how to enhance the natural beauty we all have. It’s what I love do for every client!”

“I love attending QC Career school. The online courses that I am enrolled in are Master makeup workshop, Airbrush makeup workshop, Special FX workshop and Pro makeup workshop. I love how flexible the courses are. It's easy to fit in my class work while being a full time mother. They curated a budget for me that I can afford without my children missing out on anything they need. This school is amazing and I highly recommend this school for anyone ready to start a career as a professional MUA.”

“Hey, this is Deborah Jacklin, owner of DK Beauty. I started in this industry in 1982; I have, for both our customers at DK for having the most up to date information from professionals, but as well, to update my own skills, I honestly cannot tell you how impressed I am with QC Career School. This team is so professional and I, as a beauty owner / expert in this industry, have, in a short amount of time have gained valuable information from the Career School, and my Tutor's input. The input has been so valuable and I really appreciate and respect the time and efforts placed by my tutor on assessing my submissions. Although I would love to have A+ on everything, the reality is, I am a professional and although over 40 years in the industry, I can still learn. I am a student; knowledgeable, however, I have learned a lot in 4 days. Thank you QC. Knowledge is key and I'm so excited to learn more with your team.”

“I finally reached that point where clocking in, missing family moments, and living paycheck to paycheck wasn’t enough anymore. I was tired of giving all my time to a job that would replace me before my chair even cooled. So I signed up for this course, not because life was perfect, but because I wanted something better.

And honestly? It’s been the most empowering decision I’ve made in years. The lessons are clear, the support feels real, and for the first time I can actually picture a future where my creativity pays the bills and my weekends belong to my family again.

This program didn’t just teach me makeup techniques it reminded me that my life isn’t supposed to be survival mode. It’s supposed to be mine. If you’re standing where I was, exhausted and craving change… this is your sign”

I’m grateful to be taught by high-end beauty instructors that have done jobs working for Paris fashion week to working with celebrities and even every day regular women like me and you Why I have enjoyed the program so far is the layout and how the program is suited for every learner from visual reader, and also hands-on by being very interactive, which is great for someone like me who has ADHD. if you are thinking about joining a life-changing experience, that can turn your everyday passion and hobby into a great success story I urge you to sign up and enroll in classes today classes are very affordable specially for someone like me who is a single mother of two.”
