A message from Cindy

Meet your instructor

From our students

Real students. Real results.

Sarah before and after

“As a licensed cosmetologist certified in makeup application, I learned SO much. Cindy breaks everything down so it's easy to understand without feeling overwhelming.”

Sarah, licensed cosmetologist

Markie before and after

“I never thought I'd be a makeup artist. Her phrase was ‘It's just makeup, just wipe it off,’ so the fear never had space to win.”

Markie, academy student

Makayla before and after

“The community and support are incredible. I feel like I actually belong here.”

Makayla B., academy student

I dreamt of becoming a makeup artist as a teenager. I'm 71 now, and I jumped at the chance.

Brenda A., Basic class

Even with a background in theatrical makeup, I still found many things to learn or re-learn. A fun, interactive live course where every question was welcome.

Academy student, theatrical makeup background

I'm only two classes in and my makeup skills have already improved.
