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
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.
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.

I just got my info pack from MUFE on this, so if you have any questions, I have a bunch of PDF's (finally.. 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.)
Have you read Mary's list of things to look for in a school? If not, I suggest doing so. Although I have to admit, not a single school I've found has actually got the standards they should.
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.

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

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.
Ohhh can you e-mail me the info regarding MUFE Academy you got!? I'll PM you my email!!
Can you also send me the info to brazilraineMUA@gmail.com? 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
