WHAT OUR STUDENTS ARE SAYING
Words can’t even begin to describe the amazing experience that I had at Maxima School of Makeup Artistry. Salpie is not only a teacher and role model but she is a mentor who gets you ready for the real world and of course the makeup industry. She teaches you techniques and etiquette that you will use for the rest of your life. Salpie is your own personal cheerleader and helps you lay the path you see for your future in the makeup industry. During the course you learn how to apply makeup with a variety of techniques, different styles and types of makeup, special effects makeup and so much more! I also had amazing hands on experiences where I was able to shadow or assist on photoshoots and movies. Going through her Maxima School of Makeup Artistry with others that have the same passion was so gratifying; I now have confidence as a makeup artist that I never knew I could have. I highly suggest Maxima Makeup School of Makeup Artistry

I never give reviews but I felt compelled to do so because of how amazing this school is. These two random negative reviews are absolute lies. Unfortunately, there are always bad apples trying to ruin someone's good reputation. If you want a unbiased and honest review, please read below:
I attended and graduated from Maxima about a year ago. I came in to this school not feeling confident and a little apprehensive about my skills and what I would be able to achieve. However, I have to say that I was blown away by Salpie and her dedication to teaching me not only the technical skills to be a quality makeup artist, but she provides her invaluable knowledge regarding business, professionalism and how to have a thriving career. The class sizes are small so she can provide the individualized attention needed to be confident in your skills. Since I graduated I have really grown as a make up artist and have had some great opportunities. What I most appreciate about Salpie is her continuous love and support even after you graduate. She has provided helpful guidance to me when I wasn't sure how to approach or respond to a situation in the industry and its comforting to know Salpie has your best interest at heart.
In regards to the makeup kit, I can't emphasis enough that I always get complimented on my make up kit by other make up artists every single time I work at an event. The make up kit is top quality and has EVERYTHING you need to be a successful make up artist.
If you want to learn from the best, THIS is the place to go. If you still have questions about this school or the program, I'd be happy to discuss.

I attended and graduated from Maxima School of Makeup Artisrty about a year and a half ago. When I met Salpie everything I thought I'd find in a makeup school Maxima was what I was looking for. Immediately Salpie made me feel comfortable. She was friendly, warm, to the point, confident and absolutely amazing. Salpie is a very knowledgeable and a very talented/well known makeup artist. She is a dedicated intructor/mentor and someone that truly cares about her students. At Maxima, you get small class sizes to ensure proper one-on-one time and you learn so much in a short period of time She makes sure you do things right and is always there for you when you have questions or need help with anything. Being a makeup artist takes a lot of work. Salpie helps prepare you and point you in the right direction. I believe Maxima gives you the real skills you need to help you start a career as a makeup artist. She continues supporting her students after they have graduated. The makeup kit is top quality and has everything you need to be a makeup artist. Thanks to Salpie, I now feel more confident in my skills. Thanks to her mentoring I was able to be a part of the makeup crew for fashion week, a short film, a red carpet event, etc...If you are looking for the best school to become a makeup artists, I highly recommend this school.

Maxima makeup artistry is an amazing school! I also attended cosmetology school and can honestly say I learned nothing compared to what I took from Salpie's (the owner) program! So glad I chose to get my makeup education here vs anywhere else. Not only did I learn the techniques to master my skills but I also learned how to network and manage the business side of it. Getting into film makeup was never something I had even thought about before attending these classes but Salpie helped open my eyes and show me all the avenues and possibilities available in the makeup profession. I realized how amazing it was working with a team of people all reaching for the same artistic goal and then seeing your talent come to life on screen! Had I not been given the opportunity by my instructor to go out and work on a few film gigs through her connections, I may have missed out on a lot! I've been in the beauty industry 10+ years now and still believe this is the best place to go even after talking to other people who have attended different schools specializing in the field. Last thing I would like to add.... I noticed some people were complaining about the classes being small. Personally, I think I got a better education because I didn't have to fight 20 other classmates for the attention or help I wanted and needed to be successful!!!
-Ashley LaBord
By enrolling at Maxima School of Makeup Artistry I received excellent professional instruction and advisement. We learned about wide spread aspects and areas of the industry and were taught important buisness and marketing strategies. Salpie pushes her students to not only excel in their professional makeup careers but also in their personal goals and visions. Salpie creates an atmosphere that encourages woman empowerment and implements a sense of urgency when it comes to making dreams a reality.
-Molly King
I’m so glad I ended up coming to Salpie and Maxima! To date I’m not done with the program but so far it’s been amazing! It’s really easy to learn with someone who knows how to teach and is passionate about what they are teaching! She’ll teach you the ins and outs of all things makeup and professionalism. I know that the people I’ve met through her will be in my life for a very long time!
-Sydney Doran
This program is one of the best things that have ever happened to me. Throughout the course I met some girls that I will always hold dear to me and I met the best teacher and mentor I could ask for. Salpie is excellent at pushing her students not through the standard ways. She motivates you to want to succeed on your own. This course not only provides a thorough understanding of makeup artistry but it provides you with a great understanding of professionalism and ethics. It produces well rounded and knowledgeable makeup artists and connects you with amazing opportunities. I would not trade my time here for anything.
-Christine Maple
This program was such a blessing and great experience for me. Before I got started I was a little unsure of what type of make up I wanted to do. At Maxima School of Makeup Artistry I was able to learn everything from natural to glam, bridal and special effects makeup. Salpie is amazing at what she does and teaches! Thankful for all that she taught me in the makeup industry and skill sets to build my business and portfolio. Going to networking events helped me meet and connect with so many other professionals in the industry. My experience at Maxima helped me grow as an individual and professionally. Forever grateful for the skills and friendships I gained. Highly recommend this if you are looking to become a professional makeup artist, you will be taught by one of the best and learn a wide spread of skill sets. Salpie guides you and sets you up for success during and after you complete the program.

Loved the teacher and the other students, it was worth it to go. Felt like my second home, I learned so much from this school.
-Fran
I had a photo shoot over the weekend and Salpie did my hair and makeup for me. To say she made me look flawless is an understatement. I have had my makeup and hair done many times over the years, but I can honestly say that no one has EVER made me look and feel the way she did. She is professional, knowledgeable, sweet, compassionate and absolutely gifted in what she does. If you ever wondered what it would feel like to be a princess……. Salpie is your girl!! I highly recommend her and I know that moving forward she is my go to for everything hair and makeup.
