A Glimpse Into The Academy

Get a glimpse into our academy and hear from instructors, faculty, students, graduates and partners.

Latest on Instagram

Every class begins as strangers, but it’s incredible to watch how passion, creativity, and a shared LOVE of makeup bring them together. Our recent graduates of The Makeup Academy weekend program started with individual dreams and left with friendships that will last a lifetime.
Over the course of their training, they bonded over color palettes and contour techniques, supported each other through challenges, and celebrated every breakthrough. Their journey was filled with unforgettable moments — from meeting industry icons like the legendary @danessa_myricks , to everyday connections over lunch breaks filled with laughter and stories.
The experience culminated in a stunning final photoshoot where they showcased their growth and skill, creating flawless looks that reflected their talent and hard work.
Graduation isn’t goodbye. It’s a celebration of what they’ve built together — as artists and as friends. We are beyond proud of what they’ve accomplished and will miss their energy, creativity, and talent in the studio. 

Here’s to chasing dreams, making memories, and turning passion into a profession. Congratulations, graduates!

What People Are Saying About The Makeup Academy

On Partnering with The Makeup Academy NYC

"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 look forward to the opportunity of working together again in the future, and I am confident that your continued efforts will lead to even greater accomplishments. Once again, thank you for your exceptional work and for being an integral part of the NYSW experience. "
Evita Scoccia
Founder, CEO of New York Swim Week
On Being a Part of the Icon Pro Team at NYSW

"We still cannot get over our experience working backstage at NYSW! To be given this opportunity is truly such a blessing and iconic. Getting the chance to live through these experiences together as best friends and sisters, the Makeup Academy has given us one of the greatest gifts life can offer. Memories together that will last a lifetime. The thrill, the passion, the inspiration that was present at that show was just electric. The Makeup Academy continues to give us the light we need to dream bigger, never give up, and continue creating magic. "
Gabby & Emma Best
Master Makeup Artistry - 2024 Grad

On Being a Part of the Icon Pro Team at NYSW

"Being a part of the New York Swim Week was such an incredible experience, being backstage for this event was such a surreal feeling. I truly loved getting to express the models natural beauty, all while incorporating bits and pieces of the chromatic theme of the event. It allowed me to pull out my creative ideas and energy which I don’t get to use as often as I’d like. My favorite part was getting to know each model and other artists, building genuine connections with everyone I met. I loved getting to hear about where they were from, how long they had been in the industry and hearing about the other amazing opportunities they had been able to experience. I deeply appreciate the opportunity and look forward to being involved more in the future!"

New Jersey
On Being a Part of the Icon Pro Team at NYSW

"Working alongside Jeanine, Kinshasa, and The Makeup Academy Icon Pro Team for NYSW has become one of the highlights of my career so far. Being part of the team chosen to do final touch-ups backstage was exhilarating! The synergy the models had walking down the runway wearing the designer's pieces alongside our makeup looks was worth every minute. I'm so proud of what we accomplished this year, and I hope to be invited again next year!"
Christiani Tea
Master Makeup Artistry
On Leading the Icon Pro Team at NYSW

"Leading The Makeup Academy Icon Pro Team for NY Swim Week was an incredibly rewarding experience. While I have overseen many shows, witnessing the growth of our students from the beginning of their beauty journeys stands out the most. The Makeup Academy Icon Pro Team demonstrated exceptional time management and professionalism while delivering flawless makeup looks and captivating hair styles. This team embodies the essence of our curriculum, showcasing remarkable artistry and creativity. From the Time Square billboard, the launch party event and finally the Swimtopia fashion show, New York Swim Week created many successful moments for the Artists, The Makeup Academy, and myself as their Lead. I am both proud and grateful for the opportunity to lead The Makeup Academy Icon Pro Team this season, and I can't wait to do it again next year! "
Kinshasa Hunter
ICON Pro Team - Director
New York
On Experience as a MUA at NYSW

"This being my first runway show, it served as a great opportunity to showcase what I have learned as a Pro Makeup Artist but also further expand my skills. As someone who is passionate about Avant-Garde and Special Effects makeup, it was a new and unique experience. I believe one of my favorite moments was being able to create a look on model and dancer Alice Reys!"

Sanitation Class and Certificate

EXCLUSIVE TO THE MAKEUP ACADEMY STUDENTS

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:

  • ONLINE TRAINING
  • BEAUTY, SPECIAL FX & THEATER MAKEUP PROTOCOLS
  • CERTIFICATION*
  • PRESTIGE PIN*
  • ADDED TO THE SANITATION SPECIALIST DATABASE
  • DIGITAL BADGE*

 

*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.
