This school is amazing. The instructors and students are so enthusiastic and full of talent. I feel so blessed to be asked to model for them on occasion and am enjoying getting a few lessons from the alumni.

Without a doubt, the best school there is. AMUA gives you all the tools to succeed in the industry, and has mentors and instructors that actually care about you and your work on a personal level. You gain so much more than just a unique education here; you gain colleagues, friends, and life-long family. Walking in the door is like coming home.

I’m not a student but I’ve been a model for 3 different events for them and they are so accommodating and professional. Not to mention SO TALENTED. The instructors are obviously superstars and passing on their knowledge. I’m so stoked to get to be a model for them every here and there.

Their Freelance program is jam packed with everything you need to be an MUA. Eight quick weeks and an affordable cost. The instructors and administrators are all wonderful and experts at their field. The kit provided is top quality. When you leave AMUA you are ready to start a career.

She was incredibly professional, enthusiastic, TALENTED, and truly went above and beyond. I will be keeping her in my contacts and I know our director was also adamant that he have a way to reach out to her again. I have so much respect for AMUA. Your educational team and the students who graduate from your program continue to be a gift to Nashville.

I recently attended AMUA for their Advanced Makeup Artist Program. Ashley, the director, has outdone herself by putting together a team of experienced, talented, and caring teachers that go above and beyond to make sure each student’s needs are met. I felt fully supported through the entirety of the program, and am now confident in my ability to pursue a career in this field. If you’re looking for a close-knit community of people that will encourage and push you while you learn your craft (and after you graduate), look no further. AMUA is the best!

“I was struggling to find a college/school that could give me the education I wanted in makeup arts, and also to get certified in a timely manner. AMUA is the perfect fit for someone who wants to learn everything they need to know about makeup arts and the industry itself. With AMUA having very skilled instructors, they know everything about the ins and outs that everyone starting out needs to know. Also, with the smaller class sizes, it is a lot easier to fully grasp all of the knowledge being shared with you and to get your questions answered. I left AMUA feeling very confident in my skill set and knowledge of the industry to go after my longtime dream of being a makeup artist! I have been utilizing all of the tips and tricks my instructors gave me, and it has been very successful so far.”
