Make up schools.
Hey all, I've pretty much got my heart set on going to MUD in new york ( http://www.mud.edu/newyorkdev/nyintro2.html ) this April-june for their makeup/hair/stylist program. I just wanted to know if anyhone has been there ( or even the california version) or heard any interesting tidbits about them. I'd love feedback on any makeup educational evandors in general. What you think the best schools/methods of learning are, where did you learn? What did you do when you first learned your trade etc. Thanks in advance. -Cassandra Jan 24 06 02:24 am Link cassandra---before u do anything check out 'the powder group' in NYC seriously you will not be sorry. serious makeup events for ppl who really wanna learn what is REALLY going on. Ive taken alot of them and the info is unprecedented. Jan 24 06 12:05 pm Link Why do I feel like I'm going to be saying this A LOT. Check out Mary's site, www.themakeupartist.com . She has some great advice on makeup schooling. Hope that helps. I know it helped me lots in my search for further education. Jan 24 06 12:12 pm Link Thanks for the link, but i was hoping for personal experiences. Anyone? Jan 25 06 01:16 pm Link If you're DEAD SET on MUD, it at least looks like they give you a good student discount. Jan 25 06 05:44 pm Link Are you wanting to get a license? Or just take some quick in depth courses? I have been to and recommend Tobi Britton's bootcamp at THe Makeup Shop in NYC. It covers everything. Does MUD offer licensing? I don't know and am just assuming because of the amount of time that is put in. Jan 25 06 06:41 pm Link No they do not give a license, Iâm not interested in cosmetology and i do not need a license to work in Florida, ( unless I want to work in a salon/spa) I'm not sure how that goes in other states ( anyone know?) I am pretty much set on MUD but Iâve not been able to find anyone thatâs actually attended ( although I talked to one girl that went to the California version and loved it.) The thing is, My parents are paying for the schooling, Iâve got friends in the city so its pretty cheep for me to stay there, and a patient of my father has been the head make up artist for several Broadway productions ( although sheâs taking some time off for health reasons) and sheâs agreed to help me get my feet wet after I finish school. Iâm really just trying to see if there are any really nasty rumors or shining reviews of other schools before I get there or pay my tuition. Thanks for the replies. -cass Jan 25 06 07:52 pm Link I went to MUD in california, you can message me if you have any questions about it. Jan 25 06 07:59 pm Link I HAVE PERSIONALY HEARD THAT MUD DOESNT HAVE A GOOD REP?? AT LEAST IN CALI?? BUT WHO KNOWS? Jan 25 06 09:28 pm Link check out the FAQ's on www.themakeupstudio.com and if you can't find it, then ask a question on the main board. Warning: They will ask you to check out the FAQ's first to make sure it hadn't been discussed 100 times over already. I gaurantee you'll find some kind of answer there from people who have actually been. Jan 25 06 11:22 pm Link CassandraLorien wrote: ok, here is my personal experience. I never went to school, I'm a successful artist. I make the top money in my market and I work as much as I like, I say I'm booked when I need down time (like today) There are 4 other artists in my position in my area. One out of the 5 went to makeup school (Joe Blasco) the rest trained under other artists. So thats my personal experience Jan 26 06 09:17 am Link I wanted to go to mud in nyc but couldnt afford the exchange rate so i when to the best school in Canada Complections International and I had so much fun and learned so much and now i am working in both film and fashion  totally worth it to get an education especially if mum and dad are footing the bill Jan 27 06 02:30 pm Link |
