Make-up Designory USA

 

Make-Up Designory was founded in 1997 by a team of professional make-up artists who wanted to establish a center for higher learning in the field of make-up education. Today, our school has grown from a two-classroom, 800 square-foot location in Toluca Lake, California to two thriving Campuses in Los Angeles and New York – and there’s still more to come. MUD is taking our version of excellence in make-up education further, constantly expanding our reach with MUD Partner Schools and MUD Studio locations around the world.
