@ Brittany B. -- Yes, girl! For sure I am! :) The commute is like 40 minutes. I'm up by Newark so its pretty far but its worth it for me bc when I really started thinking about it, I couldn't really imagine taking the train to the city every day with all my makeup & I'm sure you know from the morning news lol that the drive into NY is impossible during the morning commute!

After two months I am finally back to report my findings on the search for the best makeup school for me! I continued my research online searching for makeup schools in NJ as I came to the conclusion it would be the best bet for me. I would have loved to attend MUD but it's a lot smarter (for my pocket) to stay in state for now. I discovered the Robert Fiance Makeup Academy here in South Jersey. I went in for my visit today and fell in love. The studio is simple, like I am sure much other makeup studios are, but it just felt so real to me and I knew I had made the right decision. The manage of the school, Paul, was very nice and thoroughly explained everything to me about the programs offered. Currently, their master makeup artistry program is called the Journeyman Program. The is the equivalent to MUD's master program but it goes for about $6,000 cheaper and it's just the same quality education. They are a staff that is very dedicated to their students and I can't wait to begin my time there to ultimately obtain my certification. When I graduate I will have received three certificates: a certificate in Makeup Artistry, Special FX, and Journeyman. As part of the program, there is a course in airbrushing which uses the Temptu airbrushing machine. I can't explain my excitement about finally starting to do what I love. I am one step closer and I LOVE IT! I think overall, I'd have to say if anybody else is on the search for the right makeup school for them, going for the big names isn't always the best route for you. I am not talking badly about MUD because it is an amazing school, however, being that I live in Jersey and unfortunately I am not made of money, the Robert Fiance Makeup Academy is the smartest choice for me and I felt in my element upon just walking through the doors. I know that the quality of education will be great because they are a very accredited makeup school and the first of it's kind here in NJ! Well, that's all ladies. :) Thanks for all your comments and suggestion along the way! When I begin, I will be posting on my blog about what I am learning and how I am utilizing my new knowledge.

Eliana G. - I will definitely keep everyone posted! Unfortunately I still haven't been able to attend the tour because of my dear friend Superstorm Sandy. Although things are somewhat better now, the whole NY/NJ area is still trying to return to normalcy. I believe the trains in my area are back up and running so I am going to set up a date to go in next week! Ill let you know how it goes. Is there anything in particular you would like me to ask about? I'd love to help! ;)

Hey Michele, how did it go with the MUD tour? Reason I ask is because I'm really interested in that school as well but I'm located in TX, so its not easy to just set up a tour. I'll be going to NJ, NY area in March but of next year. So please keep us posted on your journey!!

I went to MUD here in Los Angeles. I loved it! I wish I still lived up there to take more classes! I have heard good things about the MUFE Academy. I would go there if I could too.

Its definitely on my list of schools to check out. I would LOVE to go there. I'm just curious if they have a payment plan?

I'm planning to attend AOFM hopefully this winter !! The programs and feedback are great, plus they let you experience multiple makeup brands rather than just focusing on 1 or two !! And you can always go back for master classes and fashion week stuff - I find them to be amazing.
