History of MUD
Make-Up Designory was founded in 1997 by accomplished professional make-up artisans who shared the goal of bringing excellence to make-up education. The school’s founders sought to offer an unparalleled education, put students first, and create an [educational] institution that would support the needs of the make-up industry.
Right from the start, we came across the task of supplying our instructors and students with quality products.That’s why we created a line of cosmetics that would meet our needs and standards. By 2000, the company had developed a full range color line. Since the line was developed primarily for professionals, the products were created with care – keeping quality in mind.
In 2003, MUD shop was added to the Los Angeles facility. This allowed our line of products to be sold in a professional and consumer friendly environment. In 2008, extensive remodeling of our NewYork facility allowed for a second MUD shop to be added to our SoHo location. And later that same year, a product re-brand was launched, allowing us to bring our [same] high quality products to the wider public.
Today, MUD cosmetics are applied in theaters, TV and film productions, schools, and all other related industries.With a strong new sales strategy and professional / educational support, it is also available to the general population through Pro Shops, Perfumeries, high end beautyshops, and cosmetic retails in more than 35 countries.
MUD studio
MUD studio courses are based on the same great educational methodology and teacher training that has helped to make MUD a bedrock in make-up education. The courses are pulled from the same curriculum that comprises the longer programs at MUD, but are broken up into smaller modules. These modules can be taken separately or combined, allowing the student to transfer their education to one of MUD’s main campuses. Get your education and join a worldwide family of MUD artists!
