I have searched and have done countless research for a good makeup school. When I inquired about MVA, Robert caked me back right away and was just extremely friendly. When I took the tour, he answered all of my questions and I was sold within minutes.
The experience that I’ve learned from MVA and my celebrity makeup artist teachers is beyond anything I could have expected. They want you succeed and give you all the tools and instructions to do so. My makeup techniques have improved and I couldn’t be happier.

Loved my make-​up class!!! Soo sad its all over :(. Omg my teachers were amazing!!! Ive taken other make-​up classes at other schools and the teachers at MVA are by far my favorite. They really know their stuff! They are professional but still really fun. I never felt akward asking a question. They encouraged students to be very involved in class. I felt like they really cared that I was learning. I can’t wait to use all the skills I learned!!!

The TEACHER HERE OMG!!! give you special educational teaching they are so passion about the job and willing to do anything to make sure you graduate. They go over and beyond even outside of the Academy. So if you looking for a make– up SCHOOL BAAAAMMM THERE IT IS!!!

I am currently a student here and I must admit I love it! I went around looking at so many schools and could not chose one, none of them seemed good enough. When I heard about this school I called right away to set a tour appointment. I came not expecting to sign up but it felt so right when I came I signed up the same day. It was the best decision I made. I highly recommend this school!
I got a request to update my review with more info as far as price and length of classes. I paid $ 3,500 for the makeup class because I got the kit with it. Honestly I was very disappointed with my kit because it was not $ 1,000 worth of make up. I could have built my own kit with a lot more, but what’s done is done. If you don’t want a kit you can pay $ 2,500. I am enrolled in the Sunday class and I believe it is 12 weeks long. Class is once a week from 10 – 3. I do feel that the classes should be longer. But overall the teachers are really good and this school is great. They have a lot to offer. I recommend this school to everyone. I’m proud to be a part of MVA

Northing is as important as PASSION. So if you’re passionate about makeup you need to start your journey from right place. I started my makeup career here at Michael Vincent Academy and as soon as i graduated my Pro beauty classes i started working on sets with Celebrities. Within a few months i worked on Tv shows, movies, magazine shoots with the finest Photographer Michael Vincent himself. They pushed me from my comfort zone and made me believe that i can do it better if i try my best and never give up! Not only they teach you makeup classes but also help you to build your social media and networking with higher people. I started my Fb page on Jan 2015 and now i have 50k followers on it. Its because i started my journey from right place and surrounded by nothing but great people. This school seriously changed my life! Being a International student is hard because of the language barrier but it didn’t stop me from following my dream. So if i can do it you can do it too! See you at Michael Vincent Academy!!!
