The Makeup Academy, New York NY

The instructors and everyone else are so kind and supporting. Very knowledgeable, too! I learned a lot from each and every instructor with different techniques. Just overall great experience.
Also, they work with you and follow you along with financial payments by setting up different plans! I recommend 100%.

I would like to share my beautiful experience at The Makeup Academy NYC. I took the Master Program because I was already a freelance makeup artist prior to attending the school however I have learned A LOT! The program pretty much went over everything like color theory, face and eye shapes, building your business as well as how to use social media to your advantage. I can officially say I am a MUA. Take a tour! Tell them Estelle sent you

The Makeup Academy is the best makeup school in NYC. They gave me countless amazing opportunities in the makeup world while I was in school. The teachers are great, the classes are small and personal, and we learn knowledge that the teachers have amassed over decades. I feel truly lucky to have graduated from the Makeup Academy. If you are looking into the school, schedule a tour with Jena to see what it’s all about!

Going to The Makeup Academy portfolio shoot was an overall good experience. It was very structured & organized. Everyone was welcoming & friendly & straight to the point. I really enjoyed the professionalism & the quality of the free service & will definitely be coming back & recommend others to try, especially models!

I served as a model for my friend.

For my first experience I had a great time the models and staff and make up artist we’re wonderful & helpful people I’ve learned a lot highly recommended

ONE OF THE BEST DECISIONS I HAVE MADE ATTENDING TO THIS SCHOOL TO PURSUE MY PASSION! I was in search of the best school for the best price and the best program for what I was looking for. There were so many options, but when I spoke to the representative for the other schools, it didn't feel right for me and I was about to give up my search. That is when I found this school. I thought it was odd and too good to be true with the perfect rating. But when I spoke to Jena on the phone, I felt instantly connected to her. We booked a tour of the school. I was so ecstatic when I got there that I didn't think twice about signing up for the Master program. I attended the weekend master program which was 10 weekends. I met, learned and worked with so many talented people. This school really prepares you for the real-life experience, especially during photoshoot days! Those days are fun and intense and the instructors are so amazing and are with you each student step by step! I love the small classes because it takes more time and attention to perfect your craft! However, the course goes by so fast that you may not feel like you're ready, but you would be amazed what you can do with the skills you learn. I GRADUATED IN NOVEMBER 2022, I ALREADY WORKED IN FASHION SHOWS, MUSIC VIDEO, MULTIPLE PHOTOSHOOTS AND THE BEST AND COOLEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME IS MY WORK WAS PUBLISHED IN FRENCH MAGAZINE! I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD BE THIS SUCCESSFUL BUT THE PROGRAM AND INSTRUCTORS PREPARE YOU FOR SUCCESS AND THEY ACTUALLY CARE FOR THE STUDENTS!

***ALSO DID I SAY THAT THIS WAS THE BEST SCHOOL! THEY WON THE BEST SCHOOL AWARD 2023! "

SHOUT OUT TO:
ADRIAN, ALY, LINDA, MAYA, AND MEEZA! YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!
