If you are truly passionate about makeup and want to learn all that you can about it, I definitely recommend going to MUD. Teaching yourself through YouTube videos and reading makeup books doesn’t compare to getting the hands-on experience here. I took the Master’s Program at this school and you learn everything from fashion/editorial, avant garde, airbrush, and period makeup to hairstyling, business skills, and special effects. I also learned a lot about color theory, skin undertone, and texture so that you can work on all kinds of people. There are so many different paths you can take as a makeup artist like bridal, fashion, commercial, cosmetic/retail, theater, film and television, special events, etc. However, it should be noted that these programs are very fast-paced. You learn a lot about makeup in a short period of time, which can sometimes be overwhelming and stressful. Thankfully, the teachers have been very patient and accommodating when I had a bunch of questions or needed help. This is a safe place to make mistakes, and it’s definitely preferable over messing up on the job. During my time here, I was dealing with a lot of personal issues outside of school. The staff at MUD were so kind and supportive, and that is something I will always look back on fondly. The learning environment at this school truly fosters and encourages creativity. In only a couple months, I’ve gained more on-the-job experience than I ever did attending college for seven years. Even as a novice in the makeup industry, I feel confident, prepared, and well-equipped to work.
