I enrolled in 2004. I paid $13,000. The school just newly opened. It was a waste of my time and a waste of my money. The instructors were awful. They were not professional. They didn't really teach. I didn't learn much. The makeup artists that are doing well today already had experience prior to enrolling at MKC. I researched so many schools and debated so long, going back and forth between MUD, Joe Blasco, Cinema Makeup, and MKC. My mistake! Spend your money else where. It's too bad that Margaret didn't work harder to impro... read more
waist of energy, time, and money – first of all, i wish i had thoroughly did research when i decided I wanted to go to beauty school. GO TO MUD at least. they teach beauty AND FX makeup. then there's this creepy 'success coaching/therapy' course that "teaches" you how to succeed in life. I have been a freelance makeup artist for 5 years since graduating and have NEVER applied their teaching to any photo shoot i've been on, it was completely irrelevant. and we also had chores. we had to clean the kitchen, vacuum, clean the ba... read more
DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL! HONESTLY – OK SO IM GOING TO BE TOTALLY HONEST WITH ALL YOU PEOPLE, THE PEOPLE THAT ARE WRITING GOOD REVIEWS ARE LIEING STRAIGHT UP YOU ALL KNOW THIS SCHOOL WAS AND IS A WASTE OF MONEY. SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME AND MONEY AND JUST WATCH YOUTUBE TUTORIALS TRUST ME YOU WILL LEARN SO MUCH MORE THAT WAY. THE MONEY YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND GOING TO THIS SCHOOL YOU CAN SPEND BUYING A MAKEUP KIT AND SO ON. PLEASE TAKE MY ADVISE AND DO NOT GO TO THIS SCHOOL, GOD BLESS.
If youre passionate about becoming a makeup artist.. – I attended MKC Beauty Academy in Sept 2010 and would highly recomend this school to any one who is SERIOUS about becoming a professional MUA. They dont just teach you makeup at MKC, (even though yes you will do lots and lots of makeup every day) but they also teach you the business side of what being a freelance artist is really like and how to market yourself and run your business. You also learn Beauty lighting, so that you are prepared to go on set and you know all of... read more
Journey at MKC academy – I attended MKC, in FEB 2010. I can only speak from my experience, and MKC academy changed my life. I am a firm believer of " every lesson is what you make of it."Going into any school,there will be high stress days and days of fun learning. Number one: school is to learn and better yourself. I knew when I walked into MKC, it was my choice and I was ready to challenge myself as an artist and individual. So in this case, I walked in with open arms and I was ready to give my all. As I did! And it was on... read more
Other Local Makeup Schools are Way Better – This school is crap! Also, I'm assuming that the people writing these "good" reiews are people that either a) work there or b) own the place because everyone I went to school there with had a terrible experience. I have also talked to other alumni from different classes and they shared the same bad experience. I'm not going to go in to detail about my experiences but I would just say that this place is not worth anyone's time or money. I have heard great things from other makeup sc... read more
Great Experience! – I attended MKC in Feb 2010 and I absolutely had a wonderful experience. I was able to expand my knowledge in the arts of make up. Further then that though, we were taught about the business side of marketing and running your business. At MKC they teach you how to become a sucessful make up artist/business owner. MKC wants you to learn every angle of the industry. I graduated feeling ready to start my career and to feel comfortable with my creativity because I had so much practice. You learn everything fro... read more
Lifetime experience! – If you truly believe that being makeup artist is what you want to do, you are ready to work hard and never give up I can assure you that this school will be a huge and unrepeatable step into big career in fashion world. I graduated form MKC Beauty Academy just one year ago. I come from little town in Poland and to go to school in another part of the world right after graduating form high school and without knowing english language too well was a big challenge for me and at the same time the best what c... read more
Great School! – I attended MKC a little over two years ago. I am now a very successful make-up artist who is well on my way to an amazing career and would NOT BE WHERE I AM in my career if it were not for MKC. Two years into my career I have already keyed films, commercials (for national campaigns), worked with top fashion designers and am the assistant to one of the top artists in the industry. The school was crucial to my success that I have had and to my future success. Without going into every aspect of the course, they ... read more
