The power of the feel-good factor has always fascinated me. And being on the team at QC has allowed me the opportunity to share the knowledge I have acquired with people who are eager learn, and ready to put their mark on the industry.\n\nAs much as I love being able to share my techniques and tutoring tips here at the school, I also have a selfish motive. Working with all of you also teaches me. And being a lifelong learner, I find that very satisfying. Below are two moments that were particularly inspiring to me.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"366\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7754\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Makeup-products.jpg\" alt=\"Makeup products\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Makeup-products.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Makeup-products-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2015\/06\/my-top-moments-as-a-qc-makeup-academy-tutor\/#Witnessing_hard_work_pay_off\" >Witnessing hard work pay off<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2015\/06\/my-top-moments-as-a-qc-makeup-academy-tutor\/#Being_willing_to_accept_constructive_criticism\" >Being willing to accept constructive criticism<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Witnessing_hard_work_pay_off\"><\/span>Witnessing hard work pay off<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nThere is nothing more exciting than being able to witness growth. Over a year ago, I had a student who started the program with no practical experience and little-to-no makeup knowledge. At the end of Unit A, I encouraged her to watch the units often, practice constantly, and submit her work only when she knew that it was as good as it could be.\n\nWhen her Unit B arrived, complete with a note that she had followed my advice, her work was already above average. I made pointers to help her perfect the skills before moving onto Unit C. I encouraged her to re-watch certain segments and practice some specific points. When Unit C arrived, sure enough, her smoky eye was one of the best I had <em>ever<\/em> seen!\n\nHer blending was already very good in Unit B, but there was a night and day difference in her new work. Again, it came with a note saying she had re-watched the videos and practiced on everyone who would sit for her. By the time we&#8217;d reached the end of the course, her work was legitimately spectacular.\n\nThe raw passion she exhibited in her initial letter, combined with her drive, created a perfect learning environment. The real moral here is that makeup is a skill. Like anything else, if you have passion for it and you practice, practice, practice, you can become great very quickly\u2026 And you will only get better from there!\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Being_willing_to_accept_constructive_criticism\"><\/span>Being willing to accept constructive criticism<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\nI am not one to mince words. When a student does great work or makes improvements, I will happily celebrate them. On the other hand, I will also tell a student when their work is not where it should be.\n\nI had one student whose opening letter declared her passion and drive. It told of her enormous amount of practical experience, and her desire to freshen her skills. Like her, I am a lifelong learner. So, I have a huge respect for anyone who takes the time to improve him or herself, no matter the subject.\n\nBut getting more education in a field where you already have experience can present as many negatives as it does positives. I gave her a key piece of advice: <i>watch the videos as if you are a beginner.<\/i> If you were taught well and learned great techniques, this course will allow you to improve upon them. But if you have bad habits that were learned from teachers who were not well-trained, this program can be a great way to break them.\n\nThis will ONLY happen if you watch the videos with fresh eyes, and allow the correct techniques to replace the ones that may have been weaker.\n\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"738\" height=\"442\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7753\" src=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Practicing-Makeup-Artistry.jpg\" alt=\"Woman practicing makeup\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Practicing-Makeup-Artistry.jpg 738w, https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/Practicing-Makeup-Artistry-300x180.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 738px) 100vw, 738px\" \/>\n\nWhen I received her Unit B, the makeup was a stereotype of the makeups done in bad YouTube tutorials. Every assignment looked exactly the same. In her feedback, I talked about what she did well, but I also put a strong focus on what was holding her back.\n\nFrom her first unit, it was obvious that her knowledge base came from YouTube. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, there are many great things out there&#8230; But there are even more <em>terrible<\/em> things. I gave her a harsh &#8211; but loving &#8211; critique, because I believe that only truth can help us grow.\n\nSome students would have shut the computer off and walked away. Others may have given up. But not her.\n\nShe came back stronger than ever! She resubmitted Unit B (by her own choosing), and did spectacular work. I took my hat off to her then, and I do the same now. She is proof that bad habits <em>can<\/em> be broken, so long as you have the determination.\n\nEducation is powerful. A good school can put you on the road to success, while a bad one can do the opposite. To me, the above individuals were both model students.\n\nIn each of their very different cases, they demonstrated how to create a positive change and advance themselves toward their goals. If you are great, strive to be better. If you need improvement, strive to do better. Each day, with a little practice and a lot of belief, you will get that much closer to your goal!\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\" align=\"center\"><i>Your QC Makeup Academy tutor is an important part of your education here at QC.
