The newest location of The Makeup Academy is located at 1804 Chestnut Street in the heart of the Rittenhouse Square neighborhood. Centered around one of William Penn’s five planned parks built in 1683, the neighborhood is known for its upscale shopping, beautiful brownstones and rich history in arts and culture.
With abundant parking and quick access to major bus routes, subway, and commuter train stations, what better place to immerse yourself in the world of beauty.
As the Executive Director of the Makeup Academy, I can attest this is the most Iconic Luxurious Experience you could ever come across. Imagine your wildest dreams coming to life each and every day before your eyes. Everyday I get to show up and give our students so much more knowledge than how to use your brush. It is my job to give the instructions to use the tools we give to teach students to build so much more than their artistry. You will leave our program feeling confident and ready to conquer. I would have LOVED to have a program like this over a decade ago when I went to school. If not now, when? Now is the time to kick start your future! We can’t wait to have you, pack your kits and hop in for a Journey of your Life Time!

We loved this look from @makeupbygilii on @its._nai7 and love her story!
“I have always loved doing makeup—it’s been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Back home, I even completed a makeup course, but I never had the chance to step into the industry and make it my career. When I found out about the Makeup Academy, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to finally pursue my dreams.
Graduating from the program was such an incredible experience. It gave me the chance to refine my skills, learn advanced techniques, and work alongside some of the most talented artists I’ve ever met. The program didn’t just teach me about makeup—it gave me the confidence to embrace my creativity and step boldly into the world of professional artistry.
For this look, my inspiration came from bold, modern glamor. I wanted to create something striking yet elegant, with a focus on sculpted features, radiant skin, and a polished finish that would stand out in any setting. This look reflects my growth as an artist and my excitement for what lies ahead in this journey.”
We miss her in class but can’t wait to see her backstage with us at @nyfw soon!

Sanitation Standards online training teaches sanitation at a health-grade level. A health grade level means we mirror protocols that hospitals use to prevent the spread of bacteria, viruses, and blood-borne pathogens. This training supersedes any state mandates or cosmetology licensing. Unlike most sanitation programs or protocols, the training was created in partnership with a microbiologist. Microbiologists study microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, algae, fungi, and some types of parasites. They try to understand how these organisms live, grow, and interact with their environments. The training was designed for all learning styles, with interactions and videos as content delivery compositions.
INCLUDES:
*Digital Certification Badge—After successfully completing the training and the course feedback, your customized digital badge will be available once you exit the training.
*Certificate of Completion and Prestige Pin – Upon successful completion of the training, you will receive a Certificate of Completion and Prestige Pin.
