A few weeks ago, I attended the Open House for the new Make Up For Ever Academy that will officially open in the heart of Union Square in NYC in January 2012. It’s located at 853 Broadway. So on a rainy autumn evening, I trekked over to see what’s up.
The original academy is located in Paris, France and was founded by Dany Sanz, the brainchild behind MUFE. So for this NYC location, Floriane David is the Director of Education and the curriculum is based off of the French academy. Applications are now being accepted for future semesters. This makeup program is internationally renowned for providing intense, in-depth training to turn up-and-coming artists into multi-faceted, full-fledged artistes. There are 3 modules that cover various topics in make up artistry:
- Beauty & Fashion
- Film & TV
- Artistic & Stage
At the Open House, Attendees were treated to two demos, showing a little something of what one could learn at the Academy, artistic/body makeup by Floriane

and beauty makeup by Jenn Evans.

We also got more information from Michael DeVellis about what was involved in getting the academy to NYC.
