"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."
"I went from barely paying my bills to quitting my job and finally having a career i love."
Being a single mum of two, i was somebody who worked to live, constantly juggling the kids and other responsibilities. Deciding to do the course felt overwhelming at first as it was such an investment, but the girls were so lovely and supportive i knew instantly i'd picked the right place to train. Being a professional makeup artist and hairstylist has given me the freedom to work the hours i want, and not only that, i now live to work! I feel totally passionate about what i do, which is a feeling i never thought possible."

Yes, It Really Works
"If you're on the fence, let me just say... stop thinking about booking a makeup course and do it with KLMA!"
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".

"It's worth every penny and honestly all i talk about!"
Absolutely loved training here! The academy is immaculate and staff are always on hand for anything you need. I always had a passion for makeup but never really knew where i wanted to go with it. The girls helped encourage me and see my options for the future, giving me advice and helping me to form an action plan. 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!"

Hear more from our Amazing graduates...
I am forever on youtube so thought i knew quite a lot about makeup artistry, i initially signed up to KLMA purely for the certificate and qualification. Coming into the classroom however was a completely different ball game. I learnt far more than i had ever expected in such a short space of time.
The course covered everything . From understanding what the best products are for each skin type, how to correct skin discolouration and really getting to grips with the use of different brushes and tools and mastering lots of tricky techniques . These are what they don't teach you on the web!
The support you receive during and after your training is invaluable, and better than you could ever get online - especially the free masterclasses! I have made lifelong friends and cannot thank KLMA enough!
Would highly recommend

hey there!
Based on my CV, you could say i know a thing or two about building a career in the beauty industry. But i think the real gift of success comes from something that most of us are never taught, and that's the connection to finding it through truly fulfilling work. I believe it is our soul's birthright to be able to make a living doing something that we love, and so it is my deepest joy to help passionate individuals like you follow their bliss, utilise their gifts and build a wildly aligned life and business as a result.
