"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."

Natalie

tripled her income

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!"

The number one thing that holds back SO many people back from following their dreams?

It’s fear.

Fear that their work won't be good enough.
Fear that they don’t have what it takes.
Fear that they won’t commit to making their investment work.

And if right now, you’re reading this wondering if you can *actually* pull this off—if you can actually get paid to do what you love and have more freedom in your life…

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. 

I know because that used to be me.

You see, just like you, I was once a beginner on this journey. A working class girl with only ambition and a ditched retail job (RIP) who didn’t want to settle for a life of unfulfilled potential and wishing for the weekends. 

So I’m going to take this moment to tell you something I know is true:

Fancy meeting you down here!

Time for a little heart to heart.

You CAN do this!

The life you want - the one where you wake up each day excited to be able to do what you love and work a job that not only fuels your passion and creativity, but also brings financial stability and professional recognition...

The one where your calendar is filled with bookings from loyal clients who admire your artistry and trust your expertise...

The one where you get to enjoy the freedom and flexibility that comes with being your own boss, setting your own schedule, and balancing the work you absolutely frigging LOVE  with spending personal time with family and friends.

That life IS possible.

The life where you are not just surviving but THRIVING with a steady income and enjoying every moment of the journey.

And you’re closer to it than ever before.

I mean this from the bottom of my heart: I believe in you.

And I created the programmes at KLMA to help slash the learning curve, give you the correct skills, and help take the guesswork out of how to move forward with your dream career and create the freedom you’ve always, always wanted.

This Career Launchpad bundle is the pathway to having it all as a professional makeup artist.

If you've been looking to join a program to elevate your skillset with high-level artistry, and master business acumen alongside a group of beauty boss AF peers, this is it.

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.
