If you've always thought that make-up instruction in the Chicago and New York city area meant sacrificing quality, it's time to think again. Celebrity make-up artist Amanda Shackleton realized the tremendous need for professional make-up artistry training in Chicago, so she opened Media Make-up Academy in 2009. Now, students can receive an education from an instructor with high-end experience in the fashion/print industry, without the expense of traveling to New York City or Los Angeles!
