Make Money

Makeup artistry is a very marketable skill (especially if you live in a big city like Houston, San Antonio, or Dallas) and it is one that you can take with you anywhere you go. You can feel confident and satisfied knowing that you are doing everything you need to do while still having time for yourself. You could be earning the salary of a professional makeup artist and the job possibilities really are endless. With Online Makeup Academy, you won’t need to travel away from home, you won’t need to spend time away from your family and you won’t need to break the bank over tuition fees. So what is stopping you from taking control of your life and doing what you want to do?

Makeup artistry is a blossoming field!

As we all know, it’s a tough job market out there in the world. People are working longer hours for less money, and jobs don’t have the security they once did. But guess what? Makeup artists are actually on the rise! Say thanks to ZOOM and social media.

Our job industry has grown by more than 40 percent in the last 10 years, and it’s supposed to continue to increase over the next five! That means there’s no shortage of business in your desired field. If that wasn’t enough to persuade you, here are four more reasons why you should join us today:

Doing What You Love

They say that once you’re doing what you love, you never work a day in your life. If you truly love being creative and have a passion for makeup, this is a field that will always satisfy your true desires. This is more than a job, it’s a true career.

Convenient & Flexible Learning

Until you’re ready to do this full-time, you need the flexibility to learn at your own pace. That’s why you’ll have the ability to watch videos and practice as much as you want, long before you submit your work to be critiques by Mariana. Practice, practice, practice!

Industry-Leading Education

You can pick up techniques here and there from any makeup artist, but our program features real-life celebrity makeup artist Mariana Bull.
