7 Makeup Classes to Take in NYC

7. Academy of Freelance Makeup

The Academy of Freelance Make Up is one of those schools that most people in the business have heard of. The slight issue with it is that it’s located in the United Kingdom. Fear not, there’s a reason why it’s on a list of NYC makeup classes, and that’s because they also brought a bit of the flavor to the United States.

The New York school offers a combined course of the Foundation and Advanced education programs, which makes it a great choice for those hoping to pursue a career in fashion makeup or for someone who wants to help brides look their best on their white day.

The course lasts for two weeks, Monday through Saturday and costs $3,495. The 12-day course is great for beginners as it starts with basic notions before building up to advanced stuff. The school mentions boldly that by the end of it all you’ll have learned all the skills you need to feel confident working in the makeup industry.

The first week covers bridal beauty tips, then, in the second week, you’ll get to learn the skills you need when working as a freelance makeup artist for fashion shows, photo shoots, and so on. In total, there are some 85 hours of training.
