But it was just over 2 years ago that I decided to make a change, and focus my energy into the places that made me the happiest. From there, <a href=\"\/2015\/12\/7-signs-youre-destined-to-become-a-makeup-artist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">my heart led me to makeup<\/a>!\n\nI have two young children at home, so the hardest thing for me was figuring out how I was going to get the education I needed while still being a mom. That is, until I found <a href=\"\/why-choose-qc\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">QC Makeup Academy<\/a>! QC offered an online makeup course that had everything I needed to succeed. Most importantly, their self-paced, online learning environment gave me the freedom to pursue my training while still being with my kids.\n\nThrough QC Makeup Academy, I graduated from three different programs. Once I&#8217;d finished, I felt confident in my art and decided to open my own freelance business, <em>Beauty Beyond the Mirror<\/em>.

It wasn\u2019t until doing my online makeup course through QC that I realized how little I actually knew.\n\nI could go through the motions of a makeup application, but I had absolutely no technique or real knowledge. I understood very little (to nothing) about <a href=\"\/2018\/03\/skincare-course-sample-identifying-skin-types\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">skin types<\/a>, tones, undertones, or <a href=\"\/makeup-theory-color-correcting-webinar\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">color correction<\/a>.

What I <em>did<\/em> know was that everyone told me it was impossible.[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;44858&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]One day, while I was on Instagram, an ad for QC Makeup Academy popped up. I clicked the link, and from the moment I was sent to their website, I was intrigued. I read up on their online makeup course materials and who <a href=\"\/learning-online\/tutors\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">their instructors<\/a> were. I also looked at <a href=\"\/learning-online\/student-experience\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">past and present students<\/a>, both on their website and through social media.\n\nI knew they were the real deal!\n\nI could have never known how incredible these classes would be. The text material and videos were so detailed, that I didn&#8217;t feel like I missed out on anything I would have learned in a physical classroom. The assignments really targeted the essential knowledge to do <em>any<\/em> makeup look &#8211; and then escalated to challenge that knowledge. I was pushed to put my own creativity into everything I did, which really helped me grow.\n\nThrough the assignments, I was able to see how important the basics of makeup are. They can be taken anywhere and applied to any look! I also learned that by knowing the basics, I was better able to create looks entirely on my own, rather than simply copying from others.\n\nOne of the most valuable things from my online makeup course was <a href=\"\/2017\/07\/makeup-mature-skin-sample-tutor-feedback\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the feedback<\/a> I received from my tutor. I appreciated that it was always honest and constructive. Even if it was to tell me what was <em>not<\/em> working in my looks, it helped me get better. By pin-pointing the areas where I was lacking, I could sit back, re-evaluate my application, and practice those areas more. As the course went on, I was encouraged to find ways to strengthen my weaker areas and sharpen my overall skin-set.[\/vc_column_text][\/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;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;44859&#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]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Skills_I_Gained_Through_My_Online_Makeup_Course\"><\/span>5 Skills I Gained Through My Online Makeup Course<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]QC Makeup Academy gave me all the skills I needed to have a successful career.

Yet when it comes to makeup, they are equally as important. Skin tone is the color of the skin on the surface, while the undertone is the subtle hue beneath the surface.\n\nSkin tones range from light, to medium, to dark. Skin undertones are considered war, cool, or neutral. Determining a person&#8217;s skin tone is easier than its undertone, as it can be seen just from looking at the person&#8217;s face. The easiest way to determine a person&#8217;s undertone is by looking at their veins. If their veins appear to be bluer or purple, then they have a cool undertone. But if the veins appear to be greener, they have a warm undertone. If it&#8217;s hard to determine what color is more dominant, it&#8217;s likely that the person has a neutral undertone.\n\nBy knowing this information, I was able to ensure that I picked the right foundation that would give them the most natural results for each individual.\u00a0 Without properly <a href=\"\/2014\/02\/mixing-matching-foundations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">matching the foundation to their skin<\/a>, you run the risk of:\n<ul>\n \t<li>Making their face appear green or gray<\/li>\n \t<li>Making their face a different color than their neck<\/li>\n \t<li>Creating a mask-like effect that&#8217;s overtly unnatural<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/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;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;44860&#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]\n<h3>Color Theory<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]By using the color wheel, I was able to learn how to <a href=\"\/2017\/03\/makeup-training-101-use-color-correcting-concealers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">color correct<\/a> areas on a person&#8217;s face that were not wanted. The color wheel teaches which colors cancel each other out. For example, to remove redness in the skin, you would use a green color corrector. By cancelling out unwanted colors in your client&#8217;s skin, you&#8217;re able to create a more even skin tone. This then allows for an easier application of foundation, and a more perfect complexion overall.[\/vc_column_text][\/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<h3>Primers<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]We have all heard of <a href=\"\/2017\/03\/building-bridal-makeup-kit-primers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">primers<\/a>, without ever really knowing the <em>importance<\/em> of them.
