Now, as we mentioned above, YouTube is perfect for finding makeup inspiration. With the sheer amount of makeup tutorials going up every day, YouTube is one of the places every makeup artist should be looking!\n<p><\/p>\nBut there is a difference between gathering inspiration for your own looks, and simply using someone else\u2019s look. We know that you\u2019re not trying to steal someone\u2019s makeup ideas \u2013 after all, they\u2019re posted on YouTube to help others out! However, you need to know how to make every makeup look your own (especially when it\u2019s not going on your face!). Having a signature look and letting your clients rock it is the best way to advertise your unique makeup skills. This is why building your own distinct style is <strong>crucial <\/strong>for emerging makeup artists.\n<p><\/p>\nIf you only apply looks that other makeup artists create, then you\u2019re not building your own portfolio. You may be good at applying these looks \u2013 no doubt about it! Yet, you still don\u2019t have any original, new makeup ideas to show (and impress) potential clients. You need to distinguish yourself from other artists in your area, otherwise you\u2019ll just get bunched in with everyone else!\n<p><\/p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.comhttps:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Makeup-Course-Assignment-1.jpg\" alt=\"Girl practicing for makeup class\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19017\" \/>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Personal_vs_Professional\"><\/span>Personal vs. Professional<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>YouTube<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\nAnother difference between YouTube tutorials and online makeup schools is the fact that YouTubers rarely apply makeup to other people. Doing your own makeup is one thing \u2013 you\u2019ve grown up with your face and you know every freckle and curve. When you\u2019re faced with a new client, though, how do you know <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/03\/makeup-consultation-101-client-cool-warm-toned\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which makeup will complement their facial features<\/a>? What type of products do you use? What angles and measurements do you need to consider in your application? As you can tell, there are too many variables that aren\u2019t practiced when you only work on your own face!\n<p><\/p>\nNow it\u2019s safe to point out that, although a lot of makeup artists on YouTube are applying makeup to themselves, most of them have completed their own makeup training! A lot of makeup artists use YouTube as a creative outlet and to connect with the makeup community. It\u2019s not as important to showcase their skills as it is to be inspired and create fun looks!\n<p><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Youtube-makeup.jpg\" alt=\"Girl learning makeup online\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19018\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Youtube-makeup.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Youtube-makeup-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Online Makeup Schools<\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\nOne of the most important aspects of professional makeup training is <strong>feedback<\/strong>. This is one thing that you can\u2019t get from watching YouTube tutorials! The point of makeup classes is to build up your skills, from the very basic to advanced, and continue growing with constructive criticism about your skills. Without feedback and professional advice to improve, you\u2019re missing out on a <em>huge <\/em>step in becoming a successful makeup artist.\n<p><\/p>\nAnd yes, we know what you\u2019re thinking \u2013 \u201cWhy can\u2019t my friends and family give me feedback?\u201d\n<p><\/p>\nThey can. In fact, we encourage it! Having support from friends and family during your makeup artistry career will make you more resilient to push forward. But you do need to know one thing: <em>they are<\/em> (probably) <em>not professional makeup artists<\/em>.\n<p><\/p>\nThe point of enrolling with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">QC Makeup Academy<\/a> (and every online makeup school, actually) is to improve and build up your potential with advanced makeup skills. You\u2019re learning techniques that are constantly evolving in the industry. Not only this, but you\u2019re learning about best practices and etiquette for professional makeup artists.\n<p><\/p>\nPlus you\u2019re getting real business training while you\u2019re at it! Without learning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/master-makeup-artistry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">these professional skills<\/a>, it will be much more difficult for you to become credible in the makeup industry.\n<p><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Professional-makeup-artist.jpg\" alt=\"Professional makeup artist&#039;s career\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-19019\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Professional-makeup-artist.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/Professional-makeup-artist-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Our_theory%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>Our theory\u2026<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\nIt\u2019s not <em>impossible <\/em>to learn makeup techniques from YouTube.
