Aimakeup Beauty Academy was founded by Aiyma — a professional makeup artist, hairstylist, educator, and entrepreneur based in New York City & Miami.
After immigrating to New York in 2019 and completely changing careers from geology to beauty, she built her career from scratch through passion, discipline, and real industry experience.
Today, Aiyma has worked with world-famous brands, celebrities, fashion shows, beauty campaigns, and New York Fashion Week productions while helping thousands of women gain confidence through makeup and beauty education.
Aimakeup Beauty Academy was created with one mission: to help women feel confident, powerful, and beautiful — while giving aspiring makeup artists the skills, guidance, and real-world opportunities to turn their passion into a career.
Our programs combine beauty, confidence, business education, backstage experience, portfolio development, and real industry training. Beyond education, the academy participates in charity events, community outreach programs, and initiatives that empower women through beauty.
