Our Multimedia Make-up Artistry Program

MUD’s Multimedia Make-Up Artistry Program combines instruction in make-up for fashion and editorial applications with that for film and television. Students are guided through the processes of how to make models look their best for print. Once students are proficient in making models look their best, we challenge them to make them look their worst – or scariest, creepiest or goriest. Program graduates will be prepared with the make-up artistry skills necessary to work in the fashion, film or television industries.

Beauty 101: Fundamentals of Beauty Make-Up Artistry

This course provides instruction on the basics of skin tone matching, highlights and shadows, facial analysis, contouring, color theory, corrective make-up, and proper cosmetic hygiene. Students are guided through the basics before progressing to creating flawless beauty make-ups or male corrective looks.

Beauty 201: Studio Hairstyling for the Make-Up Artist

This course provides students with instruction in the techniques required to create a variety of hairstyles, ranging from updos to hairstyles from different time periods. As students progress, the hairstyling techniques become more advanced in difficulty, and Beauty 101 skills are incorporated to create a complete look.

Beauty 301: Beauty Lab

In this course, students create make-up and hairstyling set-ups on professional models, in a series of projects that are designed to challenge the student while simulating actual working environments. Each set-up is captured by a professional photographer; photos may be used by students in their portfolios. While students receive lessons on the business of make-up artistry in all courses, this course devotes time to instructing students on website design, resume skills, marketing techniques and other business acumen necessary to help them succeed in their careers.

Special Make-Up Effects 201: Character Make-Up Artistry

This course provides students with a foundation in character make-up. Students are shown aging techniques, bald cap and prosthetic applications, injury simulation and the basics of laying crepe wool for beards, mustaches or other body hair. In their final project, students combine the many techniques that they have learned to design and create a portfolio-ready special make-up effects character that is captured in an editorial photo shoot by a professional photographer.

I loved everything about it! As an international student, I highly recommend it!

I did a lot of research looking for the right makeup school for me and my interests. MUD was the best place for me. Teachers go above and beyond for their students and they have a great career placement program.

I took their master course and I don't regret taking it! This school really breaks that glass ceiling and gives you opportunities to meet and be around professionals in the industry. I graduated a little over a year ago, and I already have my dream job. Working for a recognized professional artist making feature films!

Best place for special effects; very convenient and parking right at the back of the school. All instructors are great. Be simple, love what you do and it will be a piece of cake.
