It's like working at a retail clothing store that makes most of it's money off employee's buying their clothes. I can understand maybe few products, but are they trying to tell the students that other brands aren't worthy? it makes me skeptical. |
ne more thing i would like to add in reference to the bad reviewer.It is true yes you can learn the same types of makeup application techniques online but its the in person training and professional techniques that make the difference.There's a big difference then applying makeup amazingly on yourself and doing professional makeup on other people.

I found a ton of people that went their and had portfolio's but were still looking for a job. So all in all it's probably a great secondary makeup school, but in the end talent wins in this business. |

I already admitted I know little about makeup designory and i was wrong about the price, i scrolled too far down and saw all programs as seperate. So the cost is better. I didn't say learning online was any substitute for hands on experience ever however i think learning something online would be a better starting point than knowing nothing and blindly going into it. I did say i couldn't find many reviews, but the ones I did find were all good. I'd still like some more information from people that have attended, just personal experiences, how they've improved and where it's taken them..basic things you'd want to know of any school, other from what their own website says. Here is the thread where the original girl tells of her experience going there: http://www.specktra.net/forum/f194/i...ory-nyc-48442/ Not many follow up posts on the other's that were going, i'd like to read their reviews too. |
