The brand VanityX was started in 2009 by makeup artist and entrepreneur, Debbie McQuillan. After years of training with various colleges Debbie decided to create an up-to-date curriculum and course that focused on the art of makeup, ensuring her diverse training would allow students to gain employment on completion.
They have grown from one small room in Swords, Co. Dublin to three bustling Academies. VanityX opened in Dublin City Centre in 2014 and in Cork in 2016. In the meantime they have travelled as far as Dubai to hold masterclasses and also opened an Academy in London, but for the time being VanityX has decided to focus on their home grown Irish Academies.
The main goal in VanityX is to train their students to the highest standard and always push them to succeed. They offer industry based courses with international recognition and ongoing student support. The talented ladies at VanityX get endless requests from clients to help out on photo shoots, fashion shows, festivals, TV shows, music videos, you name it! They always pass these opportunities onto their students, enabling them to grow and make their own name in this fast growing industry. VanityX are always posting job opportunities, and remain there for any students whether they studied with them 9 years ago or completed a course today. They also use their social media platform to promote current and past students.
10 years on and VanityX are still at the forefront with their training and are leading the way as Ireland’s Best and Busiest Makeup Training Academy.
