Our aim is to provide you with a high level of professional training to enable you to face the world of work with all the necessary tools and knowledge.
Ilaria, Alessia and Gaia have lived their experience and could not be more satisfied. What are you waiting for?

Registration must always be done through one of our consultants.
Just book a call for the location of your interest (Milan or Rome) or visit us directly.
We will provide you with all the contractual details to proceed with your course enrolment.
A consultant will always be at your disposal!
Our training is structured in steps starting with Level I and ending with Level III, to ensure a high level of training that allows all knowledge to be learnt.
There are only very few exceptions.
If you are in possession of professional certification from other academies of national importance and a portfolio, you can apply for the validity of the documentation.
If the requirements are deemed sufficient, a theoretical and practical test can be taken to verify that the candidate has all the skills of a Level I certified student.
All you need to do at this point is to purchase the Level I kit, to have the same equipment as your peers, and attend one or more specific alignment lessons.
Direct access to Level III modules is not possible without MUD Level II certification.
Each level includes administrative fees, the cost of enrolment, the level-specific Make Up KIT, the textbook and workbook, professional training, the final written and practical exams, the American MUD certification and the MUD card that allows 40% discount on MUD products!
But that’s not all… you’ll also have access to our MUD student group for job opportunities!
Each level corresponds to its own kit with all the material needed for training.
You will be provided with different types of brushes, foundations for all skin types, eye shadows, pencils, lipsticks, airbrush, and not only that… you will also have all the equipment you need to use the products to the full!
The kit will be yours personally and will remain with you outside MUD.
As you attend more levels you will add up the material until you reach, during level III, an extremely complete kit with all kinds of products and tools.
