“One of the best school I recommend. I went to so many beauty schools, but none of them have helped me far with my career like Chic Studios. The school has really caring instructors and they will make sure you get what you need to get yourself started in a new career. Best part is you always will have gig opportunities through their community page after graduation. And you can always return back for some refreshments, and you get to use one of their studio room for your own client by appointment with no fee. Only for Chic grads. I turned my passion into career thanks to no other school but CHIC STUDIOS!!!!!”

“Over the past year, I’ve had the opportunity to model with various instructors at Chic Studios in Los Angeles. While each instructor has their own individual style, the common denominator is talent, knowledge and communication. The students graduate feeling confident and ready to work in the industry. I know first hand because I’ve been able to work with many Chic graduates on set, who exhibit themselves with the utmost professionalism.”

“Enrolling at Chic Studios NYC was quite a big decision for me to make, as I had to invest in flying all the way from the Philippines. But it turned out to be one of the best decisions that I’ve made in my life. I learned a lot and had the best time ever!

The instructors were extremely helpful and knowledgeable, and I remain friends with them to this day. They’ve done a great job of equipping us with the skills that were necessary to not just survive but to thrive in the industry. If I struggle with some questions, I know that I will have the support of the community. The culture and environment is very friendly and fun, yet also professional. With Chic, networking with makeup brands and people in the industry comes easier and the learning never ends.

How can I forget meeting the Pixiwoo sisters of Real Techniques brushes, who came all the way from Europe when they filmed one of their Youtube videos at Chic? And not to mention the workshops with Nars, Mac Cosmetics, Stila, Billion Dollar Brows, and many others that were all part of Chic Events that the school has hosted?

I had previously read about the after school support system that they offered but did not expect it to go beyond my expectations. I have gained many of my experiences through the school and it’s always a great time working with other Chic grads.

Because of Chic, I was able to work alongside the best during NY Bridal Fashion Week, I was able to meet industry leaders like Rae Morries, Eve Pearl, and Lisa Eldridge all while gaining experience by working at the Chic glitter lip bar at IMATS. I gained invaluable experience working in TV, Film, Photography, Fashion and Bridal Makeup, and hairstyling in New York City, and I have become a full time, NY certified freelance Makeup Artist.

I still have a long way to go in elevating my craft and reaching for my goals, and the journey isn’t always easy. But I know that I have my Chic community to back me up. Always.

I will never forget my life-changing experience at Chic Studios School of Makeup. For all these and more, I will always be grateful. As Chic continues to grow, I know that I will be growing with them and that the best is only yet to come for all of us. To Amy, Christina, Jonny, Ruthie, Tim, Angelique, Angela, Vicky, my former classmates, fellow graduates, and every other amazing person that I have met through Chic Studios, Thank you so much!!!

If you are looking to make a smart decision by choosing a makeup school that, aside from being great value for money, offers vital and indispensable after school support, choose the Chic Studios experience.  Who would want to miss out on a life-long kind of makeup education like this?”

“Chic Studios has a beyond amazing and talented staff that cares for their students. I graduated from Chic Studios and attending was truly the best decision I made for my career as a professional makeup artist. Upon graduation, you are guaranteed the opportunity to join a job placement program with the school which has helped my career skyrocket! I was a “self-taught” makeup artist for 8 years before I decided to get certified, and although many people do not believe that it is necessary — I believe continuing your education is ALWAYS important. Invest in yourself and in your craft, and you won’t regret it!  THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge and pushing your students to succeed! Xo”

“I attended in January of 2016 and I had the best time! In the 4 weeks that I was there, I learned about techniques, products, and application. I also learned about the business side of makeup artistry and the different avenues one can take in his/her career. I had amazing teachers who were so open and helpful, and I also met fellow students who are awesome makeup artists today. I definitely recommend going to this school and investing in your career.”

“Attending Chic Studios is one of the best decisions I could have made for my career in makeup! If you are looking to learn more about makeup or join the beauty industry, look no further. The instructors all have established careers in the makeup industry and are super encouraging. Everyone at Chic wants to see you succeed and they will help you get to where you want to be. Through Chic’s aftercare program I have been able to work at New York Fashion Week, The Makeup Show, and I even got to do makeup for Miss New York Teen for her press reel. I’ve met incredibly talented artists, photographers, and mentors here and would not be where I am without Chic Studios!”
