Erica Carr Global appears to promote education for Makeup Artists around the world by providing specialized workshops for her students with really big name artists in the industry. She has been operating at a loss for a couple of years at this point and has been unable to pay her educators or honor promises she has made to her students. She owes thousands of dollars to people who have helped her run and operate these workshops in the past. Her Grand Prize promises at her "I’m Going to Class" workshop in Portland have been unmet the last three years, even though students had to compete to get the most referrals to win and were told it was forthcoming. She has knowingly taken deposits for a workshop in Australia without any intent of hosting the workshop there as well as for next year’s class in Portland which she cannot afford to host. She owes money to the modeling agency whose models she used for classes and the hotels she housed educators in while they taught. I personally have taught as an educator and she owes me money for a 2019 Class which I taught. I also took a class where I had a photoshoot with a notable photographer to build my portfolio in 2018 and I never received the photos because he was never paid. When I asked Erica in multiple follow up emails about the photos, she claimed he was involved in a lawsuit according to his conduct with a model but upon further investigation, found this claim to be entirely false and made up and potentially damaging to the reputation of said photographer. Erica has repeatedly lied and conned people out of their money and made thousands of promises she could not keep all the while twisting it to make it appear as if it were just people’s own misunderstanding of her intent.
