Academy of Freelance Makeup NYC

Bridal contouring, editorial maquillage, SFX gore, airbrush tanning—Academy of Freelance Makeup NYC gathers these techniques under one roof. Weekday and evening courses let students practice long-wearing formulas and color theory until every stroke stays put. All sessions take place indoors, so weather never interrupts the drills. Three flights down on Lafayette, the school occupies the fourth floor of a mid-century walk-up. The address—411 Lafayette St, New York, NY 10003—is a quick stop on the 6 train or an easy walk from SoHo’s cast-iron galleries. Lunch spots surround the block, so hunger pangs don’t cut practice short. Want to pin down a full list of specialties?
