I love makeup and the feeling of satisfaction when the client feels good about themselves after the appointment. It\u2019s almost like making them fall in love with themselves. I am a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/08\/become-freelance-makeup-artist-step-step-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">freelance makeup artist<\/a>, and I am working with shelter homes to teach makeup to the ladies there so they can feel good about themselves.

When I grew up, I thought I needed to keep my passion and my work separate. I never really thought that my passion for makeup could become my full-time job. So I went on to study hospitality and tourism. But whenever a friend would ask me to do their makeup, my eyes would glow and I would be happy.\n\nThen one day, my dad sat me down, and he asked me what I wanted to do with my life. I told him that I didn\u2019t think I was great at makeup or that it could be my full-time job. But if anything went wrong, I can still go work at the hotels as my plan B. My dad then told me something that stuck with me.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;37022&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\u201cIf we have plans B, C and D for our lives, we will never be happy. You should pursue makeup full-time and put all your effort and energy into it. And one day, success will be yours.\u201d\n\nSince that day, I decided that I wanted to pursue a career in makeup artistry. I left my studies in my last semester because I didn\u2019t want to waste even one more day doing that, and I started looking for the best makeup school.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Youre_a_graduate_of_QCs_Fashion_Styling_course_too_Are_your_styling_services_popular_with_your_makeup_clients\"><\/span>You\u2019re a graduate of QC\u2019s Fashion Styling course, too.

With so many colors involved, it has opened my mind to being more creative. Indian and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/10\/creating-south-asian-bridal-makeup-look\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">South Asian makeup<\/a>, especially, is very different\u2014it\u2019s heavier, focused on smoky eyes, and is also accompanied by heavy special occasion clothes.

In Hinduism, my religion, we always say that our house guests are like gods. So I have that mentality with my clients, too.

I looked into it, and there were so many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pg\/QCMakeupAcademy\/reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">testimonials on their Facebook page<\/a>. Plus, they offered tuition payment plans, so it was more affordable than the other schools I saw. And their makeup courses were online so I could work while I studied, which sounded like an amazing idea. After a few weeks, I registered in their Master Makeup Artistry course, and here I am today.\n\nI can\u2019t stop talking about how good the school is. The tutors are amazing, and I truly believe that Nathan curated the best makeup course for a student like me. It taught me about safety and sanitation and how to start my own makeup business. It gave me so much confidence and prepared me for the makeup industry. I knew that if I had a question, I could ask my tutor and she would be happy to help me.\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_do_you_have_in_store_for_2019\"><\/span>What do you have in store for 2019?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;37000&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]I am opening my own makeup studio in July, and I am doing a lot of fashion shoots this year.
