We\u2019re smack in the middle of prom season and thank goodness it has been a very busy couple of weeks. Lots of hair and makeup work! Yay!<\/p>\n\n<p>Makeup is truly an amazing field. It\u2019s never boring! Every single day, every single client is a new adventure. I\u2019m eternally grateful for the opportunity to dive into the world of makeup artistry through QC Makeup Academy. In my last articles I\u2019ve talked about all the interesting and fun things I\u2019ve been able to learn from QC\u2019s Master Makeup Artistry course, and today I\u2019d like to tell you guys about the things I\u2019ve learned during the course that I <i>didn\u2019t<\/i> expect to learn.<\/p>\n\n<p>The Master Makeup Artistry course is a very complete course. When I started out, I expected to learn the basics of skin types, face shapes, and makeup application techniques, the normal stuff. I never thought I would receive in depth information about the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/your-makeup-career\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">business aspects of makeup artistry<\/a>. No other course (that I know of) offers you the information you need to start your own business. Many units have optional business assignments that guide you on the right path to getting on your feet as a working makeup artist. One of the first assignments seems so simple: picking a name for your business. Most people would probably ignore that assignment but something so seemingly simple is extremely important. I\u2019m glad I did my assignment and had Nathan give me his valuable feedback. As soon as I picked a name I quickly made a Facebook Fan Page. I later went on to make a website, like the course materials recommend. Little by little I\u2019m being called for more freelance makeup jobs thanks to my site and social media pages.<\/p>\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"312\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Nicholes-Facebook-Page.png\" alt=\"Nicholes Facebook Page\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7612\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Nicholes-Facebook-Page.png 738w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Nicholes-Facebook-Page-300x127.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/>\n\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/nicholecmakeup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Check it out!<\/a> I\u2019ve got a logo and everything!<\/p>\n\n<p>Some of the most helpful business tools we\u2019re given are the invoice and contract templates. I had to translate them into Spanish, since I live in a Spanish-speaking country, but they have been indispensable to starting my business. You\u2019ll seem so much more professional handing a client an organized contract than just saying \u201cYeah, I\u2019ll do your makeup on July 20th\u201d.<\/p> \n\n<p>Another thing I didn\u2019t expect to learn was the history of makeup. It was super interesting to learn about the pioneers in the cosmetics industry and the changes in makeup tendencies throughout the years. Having all this knowledge will make you a well-rounded professional. Don\u2019t be just another makeup artist. Make the difference! Read up, research, and never stop learning!<\/p>\n\n<p>Hugs,<\/p>\n\n<p>Nichole<\/p>\n\n<h3 align=\"center\"><i>Think you might want to learn makeup online? Let QC Makeup Academy show you the way!
