You have options when it comes to choosing the right training for your interests and career goals, but you really need to know what to look for! Here are a few bad practices that are, unfortunately, all too common among online makeup schools \u2013 read through them carefully\u2026\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>No credentials or reviews:<\/h3> When searching for the right makeup course, we can\u2019t stress enough how important it is to do your research. Not only should you be looking for a strong social media presence on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram (in this day and age, this is a revealing factor), you need to dig deeper into specific reviews and credentials.\n<p><\/p>\nOnce you have a short list of the schools you\u2019re considering, head over to their respective social pages and take a look at the reviews written by students and graduates \u2013 this will give you some raw insight into the student experience, as these reviews will be brutally honest accounts of how the courses are structured, how assignments are graded, and how they helped students start their careers. Believe us, once you\u2019ve read through a number of these reviews, you\u2019ll be able to tell if this school cares about its students and their education, or focuses more on lining its pockets without much care for quality!\n<p><\/p>\nAlong with reviews, do your research to find out if each school holds an accreditation. Most importantly, the institution you choose to enroll at should have a high rating with the Better Business Bureau, which demonstrates consumer satisfaction and shows you that they have a reputation for being honest and fair with their students. \n<p><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/choosingmakeupacademy1.jpg\" alt=\"woman working on online makeup course\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/choosingmakeupacademy1.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/choosingmakeupacademy1-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>No student support:<\/h3> We\u2019re talking about online makeup courses here, and while they allow students a great deal of freedom with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2015\/04\/makeup-course-assignment-a-tutorial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">studying<\/a>, there is a lack of face-to-face communication. It\u2019s just the nature of the beast!\n<p><\/p>\nUnfortunately, some schools will not compensate for this fact and students find themselves in the dark when they have questions or need guidance, simply because there is no way for them to get in touch. Imagine working on an assignment and needing clarification about a particular detail \u2013 you would, of course, instinctively reach out to your school for their help. However, some online makeup schools are not equipped (or don\u2019t try) to deal with this.\n<p><\/p>\nOur advice? Steer clear!\n<p><\/p>\nOne of the most important things to figure out before choosing a makeup academy online is whether or not there is a student support system. You can\u2019t be expected to learn and grow in a course if you\u2019re not able to reach out with questions or seek advice. Your makeup school needs to try as much as possible to offer the same support tools as a brick-and-mortar school would, and that means having helpful, qualified support specialists ready to answer calls and emails throughout the day.\n<p><\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/free-professional-makeup-kit.jpg\" alt=\"Guarantee on free makeup kit\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23205\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/free-professional-makeup-kit.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/free-professional-makeup-kit-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h3>Sinister \u201cguarantees\u201d:<\/h3>\nSadly, there are many online schools out there that are just waiting to grab money from you. When doing your research, take time to read the fine print, and be very wary of the \u201cvalue\u201d that makeup schools place on their course materials &#8211; specifically their makeup kits. They\u2019ll often hike the value up to, say, $25, when the actual product cost only $6 for them to purchase. \n<p><\/p>\nWith this in mind, imagine enrolling and then deciding within a week or two that this is not the course for you. While some courses will advertise a fair and easy money-back guarantee, many students have found that they can only receive a portion of their money back, due to a small mention in the fine print that they overlooked. \n<p><\/p>\n<em>Full disclosure:<\/em> these schools don\u2019t care about your education or success in the industry, and we recommend crossing them off your list immediately. Any online makeup course worth your time and money is going to ensure you receive all your money back if you\u2019re not satisfied, and also work with you to come up with a solution if something is amiss. You don\u2019t want to find yourself enrolled in a makeup academy with this sneaky behavior.\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_it_SHOULD_look_like%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>What it SHOULD look like\u2026.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nAfter reading the list above, we have no doubt that you\u2019re discouraged. However, these bad practices are also important to know ahead of time so you can make the best decision about your education. Now that we\u2019ve run through a few things to watch out for, here is a list of features that your online makeup school should have:\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Experienced, professional tutors:<\/h3>\nLooking for a makeup academy online takes time, but we have one specific feature that will narrow your decision down pretty quickly\u2026\n\nYour makeup tutors.\n<p><\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"672\" height=\"448\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/choosingmakeupacademy3.jpg\" alt=\"freelance makeup artist applying makeup to client\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/choosingmakeupacademy3.jpg 672w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/choosingmakeupacademy3-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 672px) 100vw, 672px\" \/>\n<p><\/p>\n\nIf you want to have a successful career in makeup, you need to be taught by the very best in the industry. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">QC Makeup Academy<\/a> provides its students with professional training from celebrity makeup artist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/tutors\/#nathan\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nathan Johnson<\/a>. Let us tell you \u2013 it doesn\u2019t get any better than this. Nathan has worked with over 600 faces during his rich career as a makeup artist and has years and years of industry experience under his belt. Every student gets to experience his teaching techniques through video lessons!\n<p><\/p>\nReceiving his personalized feedback on assignments and being guided by his expertise will prepare you for the type of makeup career you\u2019ve only imagined. You\u2019ll know you\u2019re in great hands under Nathan\u2019s tutelage, and this is what you want from an online makeup school!\n<p><\/p>\n<h3>Pricing that you can feel good about:<\/h3>\nTo be completely honest with you, any course you enroll in is going to be a financial investment. The key word, however, is an investment. While we understand that it can be difficult to part with a large sum of money in order to start your makeup career, the right course will be worth it in the long run.\n<p><\/p>\nThe last thing you want to do is find yourself in a situation where you\u2019re drowning in tuition payments while enrolled in a course that clearly doesn\u2019t care about your progress or eventual career as a makeup artist. The best advice we can offer here is to not be guided by a low price. Ultimately, you get what you pay for, so you want to make sure you\u2019re choosing the right makeup academy that has all the features you\u2019re looking for. And guess what? If it\u2019s a quality institution, you\u2019ll have your pick of payment plans that will work for your budget and lifestyle.\n<p><\/p>\nHere at QC, we know that education can be expensive, which is why there are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/pricing\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">flexible payment plans<\/a> to choose from. You can really write your own ticket, as you\u2019re in full control!\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Choose_QC\"><\/span>Why Choose QC?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nSo, is QC Makeup Academy right for you?
