We\u2019ve discussed this at length on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/beauty-buzz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">our blog<\/a>, but let\u2019s run through some of the top perks.\n<h3>Discounts<\/h3>\nHonestly, who doesn\u2019t love saving a bit of cash? Especially on makeup supplies! Many makeup schools (online and brick-and-mortar) offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/your-makeup-career\/makeup-discounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">exclusive discounts<\/a> to various beauty brands. Getting your makeup certification and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2018\/05\/makeup-building-a-professional-makeup-kit-based-on-your-makeup-artist-salary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">building a killer kit<\/a> doesn\u2019t have to break the bank.\n<h3>Convenience<\/h3>\nConvenience is a major perk when getting your makeup artistry certification online. Who likes commuting to class each day anyway? With online makeup classes, you can roll out of bed, grab your laptop, and enjoy some well-deserved breakfast-in-bed while watching course tutorials.\n<h3>Unlimited Practice Time<\/h3>\nAnother perk that comes from taking your makeup classes online is the unlimited study and practice time you\u2019ll receive. You can practice as often and as much as you want before submitting your assignments. You\u2019ll always be confident that you\u2019ve submitted your best work. Unlike brick-and-mortar schools, there are no hard deadlines when taking online makeup courses.\n<h3>Check out these articles for MORE perks!<\/h3>\n<ul>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2018\/04\/5-extra-perks-of-online-makeup-artist-schools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">5 Extra Perks of Online Makeup Artist Schools<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/01\/7-perks-makeup-artist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">7 (More!)
