But that wasn’t enough for von Loudon…
She didn’t just want to keep her experience as a Makeup Artist & Business owner to herself.

However, each step paved the way for her to have the courage and the vision to open the Institute of Makeup Artistry.
On April 12, 2013, von Loudon’s dream came true as the
doors opened to The Institute of Makeup Artistry & F/X of San Antonio, the
very first school of its kind, sharing her exclusive clientele with her students which has created the perfect learning platform for anyone that has a dream of one day having the ability to transform through Makeup Artistry.
