Best makeup School in NYC
I will soon be moving to NY and I want to go to makeup school. In doing research about the schools I can't tell which one is actually good and which reviews are true, also a lot of reviews are old and I want to know about the recent graduates and their experiences. If anyone could please help I would appreciate it a bunch  Thank you Oct 10 11 11:49 am Link Me too Tanya! My hubby just accepted a job offer out there today! We have roughly 2 weeks to move..Eek. Oct 10 11 11:51 am Link yes Its so hard to believe some reviews, and even harder to do research from Florida! Oct 10 11 11:55 am Link My biggest thing with reviews is, were they paid to say great things about the school or are they actually real students. But once you get to NYC you can add your name to the willing to assist list. I plan on doing that as well. Oct 10 11 12:09 pm Link Well there is Make-up Designory, which has a California and NYC campus. I went to the one in California, but I would assume the NYC campus goes by the same curriculum. I know one of my teachers would travel back and forth to teach classes. It's an amazing school, something to look into.

Oct 12 11 02:33 pm Link Years ago I went to NYC and trained with Tobi Brittion who is a well known established makeup artist. I spent many days with her and she is a great teacher and I learned a great deal from her. I am not certain if she is still giving lessons. If not there are a number of great established artists from that area on here that may be giving private lessons as well. I think its worthwhile to pay the day rate of the artist and work with them on a one to one basis. This may be a good option for you as well.

I have to admit, they took their sweet time answering questions and I had to ask them 3 separate times in some cases. Can't tell if they were heavily busy, or just completely not reading my emails.) Oct 14 11 02:29 am Link Thank you so much everyone! I will Def look into the makeup forever school, and why wouldn't you recommend MUD? .. I get so many mixed signals about this school.

Oct 14 11 05:18 pm Link Most of the people I have woked with were fom MUD Oct 14 11 06:04 pm Link Tanya feel free to inbox me some of your choices and will email them to muas i have woked with for their opinions (; Oct 14 11 06:07 pm Link Rachael Sachse wrote: yessss please can I get that?.. thanks a bunch Oct 18 11 02:52 pm Link it is so hard to choose a school. i was going to attend mud but got so many mix reviews i was also going to attend empire and did not get much good reviews neither. what did i end up doing ? going to aofm which i am currently. pros this far you are learning from a different mua EVERYDAY and not a fly by night mua i am talking the real deal mua who has worked in the industry for years. cons only 2 weeks i realize it dose not matter what school you go to its your determination to succeed. choosing a school is the foundation what you do after matters. oh btw i am glad i did not choose mud. and my hubby is the photographer i am just using his log in Oct 18 11 10:51 pm Link Bella Dionne wrote: did you go there and have a bad experience? Oct 19 11 04:44 am Link thanks a bunch. why are you glad you didnt go to mud? me-xposure wrote: Oct 19 11 04:48 pm Link because of the price and the customer service. and BTW as I stated there is a new instructor everyday at AOFM and this is day 6 for me and of the 6 instructors 1 attended MUD and 1 taught a class there. I do not think the school produce bad or inexperience artist. I think you will get the foundation from any school it all depends on your determination. I will say do not think you can learn from you tube. The best way IMO is a school and or assisting a MUA you admire. with AOFM you do not learn from just 1 product line you have several lines you work with to get an idea of what will work for you. Check them out on FB http://www.facebook.com/AOFMakeup?ref=ts they are base out of london and they have classes a couple times a year in NYC. Oct 22 11 06:05 pm Link Chic Studios NYC in Brooklyn. The evening instructor is amazing. 4 week course but you learn so much. Cheaper by a mile than all the rest.

I also had a bad experience with MUD and was pushed aside by a couple different people on their admissions after touring the school, buying my books, started studying early, and put my application (along with $100 fee) in. I'm over the idea of giving them $18,000. I would LOVE to look into the MUFE Academy Feb 13 13 05:07 pm Link How much was the course at MUD? May 01 13 10:48 am Link Joanna M wrote: I agree! I did day time, and she was just as lovely! I will admit tho, that she was better if you had a general understanding, where the evening instructor was so in depth! I have also had the pleasure of having all the instructors, and they are all amazingly talented. Jul 03 13 09:11 am Link wow I actually know something about this,I spoke to some MUFE 2 students a while back,one of them was a MUD gradute and she siad that the education in MUFE was better and more detail special in break down color chemistry,mixing & creating colors and foundation with pure tones and camera ready make up and lighting,she ready like it better than MUD,now that was her opinion and experience…everyone is deferent,hope this help in some way. Jul 03 13 01:59 pm Link I know I'm a little late on this thread, but I attended and graduated from Makeup Designory in New York last fall and it was the best decision I made. I read above these people recommending not going there, did not actually go there, and the one who did attend, also loved it. They teach you everything step by step and help you with whatever you made need. You learn the basics of makeup, airbrushing, hairstyling, the business side of it all, and special effects. Being as I attended there, I HIGHLY recommend you at least visit. There is also a job page. So when you are a student and even after you graduate, your student advisor aids in finding jobs and are truly the nicest, most helpful people. Good luck!

Jul 15 13 12:17 pm Link I went to the Pamela Taylor makeup academy, i took Private courses because im easily distracted lol but i learned a lot. I think the school may have moved to a different part of town though. Jul 15 13 04:58 pm Link MA YE wrote: I haven't given away my services. Yes, I have done test shoots in the past for portfolio building, but I've also done a lot of paid work. You learn and make connections, build relationship and work your way up. And I don't know when or if you attended MUD but during my duration there, we did learn how to survive as a makeup artist.

They can push you in the right direction but no one is going to hand you a career you have to find it yourself. You need to crawl before you can walk. And everyone's experience will be different.
