TESTIMONIALS

TRUSTED BY OVER 1000 GRADUATES

It's the best thing i've ever done! Kiera & Tal are the ultimate professionals. They are masters of makeup, incredibly supportive and perfectionists. The skills i learnt on this course i would never have learnt from any youtube or instagram videos.

I spent 12 weeks at KLMA and met some wonderful likeminded people who were equally as passionate about a career in makeup as me & i am incredible sad to say goodbye. I can't believe where i started and where i am now thanks to Kiera & KLMA - Thankyou ladies your knowledge & support has been instrumental to me setting up and succeeding in my own freelance makeup artist career

If you're on the fence, let me just say... stop thinking about booking a makeup course and do it with KLMA! Not only does KLMA offer the best service and training, but i left feeling great within my own skin and empowered to follow my own dreams!

This program gave me the skills and confidence to transform my business! I went from barely paying my bills to quitting my job and finally having a career i love. Training with KLMA changed my life. My whole damn life. I simply wouldn't be where I am in my career today if it was not for them.

Meet your trainer, Kiera.

From backstage at London Fashion Week and RuPaul’s Drag Race to major campaigns with BBC, Pretty Little Thing, MAC Cosmetics, and Beauty Bay, I’ve spent over 15 years building a career that most makeup artists dream of. But here’s the thing—it wasn’t just talent that got me here.

I built a multi-award-winning makeup academy, coached hundreds of beautypreneurs, and turned my passion into a thriving business—all while breaking the mold of what success in the beauty industry “should” look like. Now, I help ambitious artists like you do the same.

Whether you’re here to master your craft, grow your brand, or create a life of freedom doing what you love, you’re in the right place.

At KLMA, we don’t just teach makeup—we teach you how to build a business, attract clients, and step into your full potential.

If you’re ready to stop playing small and start building your dream career—let’s do this.
