VALUES
MUA Co-op Group & School
MUA Co-op is a group of makeup artists, makeup enthusiasts, and brands that support MUA’s & MUE’s.
One of our founders felt herself and saw that artists sometimes struggle to stay engaged, motivated, and supported.
So we created a small makeup challenge group. Driven by the energy of our three founders, the group quickly blossomed into a huge community! Now, motivated by our desire to share the love of makeup artistry with everyone of all ages and skill levels,
we are launching the MUA Co-op School!
Inclusive
We are always welcoming to any person of any skill level! All genders are encouraged to participate and we are LBGTQ+ inclusive!
Love & Respect
We always love and respect ourselves and others.
Confidence
We inspire confidence in ourselves and our work.
Community
We always aim to nurture the spirit of community by supporting one another and our artistry.
Be Yourself
We always aim to be our most authentic selves, as loudly as possible!
Fun
Above all else we aim by be joyful through makeup artistry.

Hey, I’m Niki of ‘Once Upon a Body’ since 2014 and founder of MUA CO-OP! I started out as a face painter for kids parties and then progressed to working with adults for portfolio shoots and magazine work. Since then I have worked on many events and festivals to upskill my talent and creativity.
My best work and passion has been through SFX makeup and character makeup, I hope to use my skill for film and television in the future.
I am super excited to share my passion, knowledge and creativity with you all!

Hi, I’m Tina, the founder of the MUA Co-op Group and School for makeup artistry. I have always been an artistic person and have enjoyed working with many different media. Charcoal, India ink, chalk pastels, clay, and sewing were amongst my favorites until makeup came along and completely captured my heart.
I am a self taught makeup artists, children’s ESL teacher, homeschool mom, artist, and children’s book illustrator. I developed the MUA Co-op curriculum & school from a desire to bring people together in community, share my passion for teaching, and spread the joy of creating art with makeup!
