You don\u2019t get to see the work being done in a real setting. You don&#8217;t have the chance to actually <em>try out<\/em> everything you\u2019re being taught. For anyone who learns best by <em>doing<\/em>, not just seeing, it would seem that you\u2019re out of luck.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FACT_You_can_learn_everything_from_your_online_instructor_that_you_could_if_he_were_there_in-person\"><\/span>FACT: You can learn everything from your online instructor that you could if he were there in-person.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThe right kind of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/12\/didnt-enroll-person-makeup-artist-classes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">accredited online makeup school<\/a> will ensure that high quality cosmetics are provided to you, as part of your course tuition. You can then use those products to learn and successfully complete your assignments. In addition to this, there are quite a few more benefits to online learning that you wouldn\u2019t find in a physical class setting.\n\nFor starters, in a brick-and-mortar makeup course, there will be other students. You won\u2019t be <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2018\/04\/5-extra-perks-of-online-makeup-artist-schools\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">provided the same opportunity<\/a> to view your tutor\u2019s work up close. This means you can&#8217;t always assess the finer details of the look. In comparison, online makeup classes create an atmosphere where it\u2019s just you and your tutor \u2013 no one else. You\u2019ll never need to fight to see what he&#8217;s doing. Everything will always be up close and personal, in crystal clear detail.\n\nIn physical classes, there&#8217;ll also be times where you may miss something your instructor says. That\u2019s a downside to living in the moment: you can\u2019t rewind it and play it again. But you <em>can <\/em>do exactly that with online classes! When your lessons are conducted online, you have the advantage of being able to pause and rewind whenever needed. You don\u2019t have to miss a single second.\n\nIt\u2019s also incorrect to say that online makeup schools won\u2019t give you the opportunity to practically apply what you&#8217;re learning. In fact, this is a regular part of each course you\u2019ll be taking! As part of the curriculum, you\u2019ll frequently be asked to take what your tutor is teaching you online and demonstrate your skills on a model. After you\u2019ve filmed or photographed your work, you\u2019ll send it over to your tutor, who will then review it for you from there.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;39633&#8243; alignment=&#8221;center&#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]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MYTH_2_I_wont_be_able_to_fix_the_mistakes_I_make_without_my_instructor_giving_me_hands-on_adjustments_or_personalized_feedback\"><\/span>MYTH #2: I won&#8217;t be able to fix the mistakes I make without my instructor giving me hands-on adjustments, or personalized feedback.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nIf you\u2019re <a href=\"http:\/\/www.educationplanner.org\/students\/self-assessments\/learning-styles-styles.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a tactile learner<\/a>, it doesn&#8217;t vibe well for you that your instructor won\u2019t really be next to you in order to help correct whatever errors you make. Plus, any feedback you get on your assignments will probably be the same generic, pre-recorded message given to <em>all<\/em> of the students.

Take it from QC Makeup Academy\u2019s Executive Makeup Artist and instructor, Nathan Johnson. He recalls how before he switched to the world of online teaching, he taught in a brick-and-mortar makeup school.\n\nHis style of teaching remained exactly the same in both environments! He also notes how, in his experience, he\u2019s never \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2018\/02\/used-teach-makeup-brick-mortar-school\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">taken a brush out of a student\u2019s hand to make adjustments to [her] work<\/a>.\u201d Instead, his verbal feedback and critiques helps guide her to where she needs to go. She learns exactly where and how she needs to improve, without any hands-on adjustments being made on his part.\n\nThe same level of time and care is reflected in the feedback that online makeup tutors provide for their students.
