Testimonials
The Makeup Academy NYC collaborative spirit and ability to work seamlessly under pressure were truly commendable. Your innovative ideas and adaptability played a pivotal role in making the NYSW a resounding success. The positive feedback we received from designers, models, and attendees alike is a testament to your exceptional talent and dedication. Please accept my heartfelt appreciation for your tireless efforts and outstanding contributions. Your teamwork and creativity have undoubtedly left an indelible mark on this year’s NYSW, and we couldn’t have achieved this level of excellence without your team.
"I had the pleasure of going backstage to do touchups for the grand finale, experiencing the high intensity and anticipation firsthand. Being there before the models hit the runway and seeing the designers alongside them was a thrilling culmination of all our efforts. Thanks to The Makeup Academy NYC, I was prepared with the skills, techniques and time management needed to zone in on the task at hand, allowing me to work in any environment — even one with live animals like wallabies' present!"
"Working backstage in NYSW was one of the most exhilarating experiences I've had as a professional makeup artist. I used my trained eye to perfect looks before they were showcased and I developed meaningful connections within the industry, leading to an immediate paid booking in NYC 48 hours later. I also had the opportunity to show my technical and creativity for the show’s finale dancers looks. This experience proved that my talents, skills, time management, and interpersonal abilities are perfectly suited for any setting, whether runway or editorial."
Thank you, The Makeup Academy NYC"
