| - Took a 3-hour makeup class here a while ago and really could have learned more by watching one YouTube tutorial and standing in Sephora for 3 hours. I'm quite familiar with makeup and taught myself a lot a few years ago, but I went with a friend who wasn't and wanted to learn how to really do it right.
The first 40 minutes or so was talking about what products were in vague terms (Ex. said these were countouring creams but never really explained the benefit of countouring for a newbie) and explaining how you have to wash your face before applying makeup. However, we were only offered a 'pre-cleanse' (makeup remover) and then I was only only person who said I wanted to wash my face after (since makeup remover is oil-based). Apparently I was to go to the bathroom which wasn't even if the office and splash water on my face.
Then we were told to start applying. That was pretty much it. No step-by-steps to walk you through it (one or two people there had no experience with makeup). If you asked a question it was answered, but frequently not in a helpful way. When asking about eyeliner (which the instructor didn't even acknowledge), and how to apply it, answers ranged from "Just apply it" to "There are no rules". I feel like a diagram would have been helpful when discussing the application of certain products. They didn't even have eyeliner readily available and what they did have was all black; they also had no eyeliner brushes.
Another note: though she had discussed mascara, when I asked for some (this seems basic to me), I was told they didn't have any to use but if I wanted, I could buy some from them to use. Again, I could have just gone to Sephora with better success.
We were told by no means to apply foundation with our hands so when I couldn't find a brush, I asked and was told they were all being used. Overall I think this class would have been helped with each person having a little set of basic brushes provided. Considering all their brushes were in a bin and cleaned, this could easily be possible and would cut down on confusion and people running out or not having options.
They should also have more than one of each item. While they had a dozen foundations, they only had one of each shade. So with there being 5 pale people in the class, we likely didn't get to use the best shade for our skin. This was more like a makeup studio setting and less like a class, in terms of supplies.
The class ended after 2 hours (after an hour and a half some people came in and dropped two large boxes of more supplies we needed - like the powder blushes that were nowhere to be found earlier). Most people had a Groupon but I felt bad for the anyone who paid full price. If you had zero knowledge of makeup, it might be a beneficial course to just see the options and play around, so for that I recommend it. But if you're going to learn how to apply certain things, I can't say it's better than learning online.
