This kit should include some of the tools of the trade you\u2019ll need to complete your assignments and practice your makeup artistry skills. But if the makeup course itself is relatively inexpensive and the kit they offer is out-of-this-world fabulous with tons of expensive makeup and tools\u2026 then odds are, your tuition is really going toward the makeup and not at all toward teaching you how to apply it. The whole point of makeup school is learning professional makeup artistry, not just to get a bunch of expensive makeup disguised as an education!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Vague_%E2%80%9Chow_it_works%E2%80%9D_information\"><\/span>Vague \u201chow it works\u201d information<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nIn order to properly learn makeup artistry online, you need to be able to complete numerous hands-on assignments AND get personalized feedback from someone who can tell you if you\u2019re doing something wrong. This is not easy to do, and many shady makeup schools don\u2019t bother setting up a good learning process for their students. To hide this from prospective students, a lot of schools just don\u2019t talk about the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/learning-online\/how-it-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u201chow it works\u201d <\/a>of their learning process on their website. Sure, they\u2019ll give you generic information like \u201clearn online!\u201d and \u201cwatch videos!\u201d, but won\u2019t talk about their tutors, grading system, how students get feedback, etc.\n\nAgain, you\u2019re enrolling in an online makeup school, and paying them for the education process. So make sure it\u2019s a good one!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_info_on_your_actual_tutors\"><\/span>No info on your actual tutor(s)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nA good way for a shady school to make money is to get a famous makeup artist to record training videos, then sell those videos at a premium, calling it a \u201ccourse\u201d. Similar to our last point, these shady schools will spend a lot of time praising their \u201cteacher\u201d (the person in the video) but won\u2019t talk about how your assignments will be graded.\n\nPush them to give you an answer (and they\u2019ll do their best to avoid telling you!) and you\u2019ll learn that your assignments will actually be graded either by a computer program, or by their staff who have little-to-no makeup experience. If a makeup school doesn\u2019t make it crystal clear that all of your assignments will be graded by your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/tutors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">personal tutor<\/a> who is a professional makeup artist, be sure to confirm that this is indeed the case before enrolling.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35164\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-04T114538.231.jpg\" alt=\"makeup artistry course training and practice\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-04T114538.231.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-04T114538.231-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-04T114538.231-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-04T114538.231-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suspicious_reviews\"><\/span>Suspicious reviews<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nShady companies have no qualms about making up fake customer reviews. So it\u2019s best to go to an impartial website like a company\u2019s Facebook page in order to get honest reviews direct from students. But even on Facebook, you have to be careful. Shady makeup schools will often create fake student profiles, pay social media users, or have their own employees write phony Facebook reviews in order to make the school seem legit and well-off. These can be hard to catch, but here\u2019s what you should look for:\n<ul>\n \t<li>A large number of reviews all made within a very short timeframe;<\/li>\n \t<li>A large number of reviews where the users are all from the same area or work for the same company;<\/li>\n \t<li>Reviews that all share the same text, or no text at all;<\/li>\n \t<li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/QCMakeupAcademy\/reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook page with a lot of reviews<\/a>, but very few active followers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nIf you suspect a company\u2019s reviews are fake, try reaching out to some of the reviewers. Someone who wrote a fake review (especially if it\u2019s a review from a while ago) is unlikely to ever reply to you. Whereas a real student from a credible school will be more likely to reply and give you honest feedback about their experience.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"No_one_wants_to_talk_to_you\"><\/span>No one wants to talk to you<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThe whole point of a shady makeup school is to make as much money as possible, without a whole lot of effort. This means that many of these companies aren\u2019t staffed very well, and will likely not spend a whole lot of effort or money on customer service or student support. So if you have your doubts about a school, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/contact-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pick up the phone<\/a>! If you\u2019re calling them during their regular business hours (which, by the way, should at least be 9-5 Monday to Friday in North America), and they don\u2019t pick up the phone, that\u2019s a problem. If you send them an email and you don\u2019t hear back, or receive a reply that\u2019s unfriendly, unhelpful, or full of spelling mistakes, etc., it\u2019s a pretty good indication that it\u2019s an overall crappy school!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Subscription-based_fees\"><\/span>Subscription-based fees<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35166\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-04T115258.394.jpg\" alt=\"online makeup academy\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-04T115258.394.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-04T115258.394-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-04T115258.394-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Makeup-In-Post-140x121-2019-03-04T115258.394-670x335.jpg 670w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/>\n\nIt\u2019s one thing to offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/pricing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">payment plans<\/a> for your tuition, and a good online makeup school should offer this. But these payment plans are offered as a convenience on your set tuition, and your payments end on a specific date. Some shady schools offer a subscription-based tuition. This is where you\u2019ll pay them a monthly fee in perpetuity just to access their training materials or to keep your certification \u201cvalid\u201d. This is often attractive especially if you\u2019re on a budget, because their monthly payments are lower than a credible school, but in the end it\u2019s really just a money grab. Don\u2019t fall for it!\n\nLook, it\u2019s unfortunate, but a lot of so-called online makeup schools out there really just want your money and don\u2019t care about your education. Your best defense against these scams is to know what to look for and thoroughly research before enrolling. A good rule of thumb: a credible school will be happy to explain everything to you, show you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2019\/02\/master-makeup-artistry-course-sample-fantasy-makeup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">course samples<\/a>, put you in touch with their students or graduates, and encourage you to shop around. Once you know what you\u2019re getting yourself into, you can start on a journey to an amazing career as a makeup artist with a school you\u2019re confident will help you achieve your goals!\n<h2 class=\"cta\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interested_in_taking_an_online_makeup_course_Check_out_QCs_selection_of_makeup_artist_training_programs_and_get_started_today\"><\/span>Interested in taking an online makeup course?
