While MUD education started with the schools in Los Angeles and New York, it did not stop there. Make-up Designory knew that in order to reach the growing desire for make-up education, the company would have to expand beyond its two locations. Through MUD’s Partner Schools and Studios, MUD education is offered on a global scale. There are more than 100 locations offering MUD education, and that number continues to grow.
