In this ongoing class, makeup-lovers receive a fun new makeup challenge each week. There is a focus on kindness, positivity, self-love, uniqueness, and imagination. In this challenge, students are encouraged to use their creativity to achieve a look that fits the challenge. Students brainstorm together and encourage one another. Students ask questions and receive guidance as they challenge themselves artistically. A variety of techniques are presented as the instructor participates in each challenge. Students can choose to follow along with the techniques presented or explore their own. Students are encouraged to share their final look and inspiration with the group. This is an inclusive community; any student at any experience level is welcome to join. 9/28 Challenge: Fall Students will take inspiration from the season. 10/5 Challenge: Inner Child Students will take inspiration from something they loved when they were younger. 10/12 Challenge: Sheer vs. Opaque Students will be challenged to create a look using both sheer and opaque components. 10/19 Challenge: Superpower Students will create a look inspired by their own personal superpower. 10/26 Challenge: Candy Students will take inspiration from candy. 11/2 Challenge: Future Self Students will take inspiration from how the envision themselves in the future. 11/9 Challenge: Hero Students will take inspiration from their heroes. 11/16 Challenge: Villain Students will take inspiration from their favorite villains.

Parental Guidance
Although severe reactions are rare, it is a good idea to test cosmetics in advance to ensure they do not cause allergic reaction.
Supply List
Students can learn a lot with whatever supplies are available to them. However, as with any art form, you may want to purchase some basic supplies to maximize student potential. You do not need to spend a lot! High quality cosmetics are available at any price. If you ever have questions or need product suggestions, please ask. Below are some suggestions to get you started. Eyeshadow A colorful eyeshadow palette with a variety of finishes is ideal. If a student does not already have one, I highly recommend palettes from BH Cosmetics, ColourPop, Juvia's Place, and Profusion. The E.L.F. Bite Size palettes are also a good option. Eyeshadow Primer Eyeshadow will work best over an eyeshadow primer. The Milani eyeshadow primer is a great option (available at Ulta or the drugstore). A concealer can also be used as an eyeshadow primer. E.L.F. Hydrating Camo Concealer in a shade slightly lighter than the student's skin tone would be a good option. Brushes Students will need a set of brushes for class. If a student does not already have brushes, I recommend a brush set from BH Cosmetics (available at Ulta or BH Cosmetics) or MODA (available on Amazon). I recommend, at a minimum, that students have a fluffy blending eyeshadow brush, a dense packing eyeshadow brush, a pencil or smudge brush, and a blush or highlighter brush. Mascara If a student does not own mascara and would like to try it, I recommend any non-waterproof mascara from Essence (available at Ulta). Waterproof mascara is much harder to remove. Complexion Products Students may want to learn to use bronzer, contour, blush, and/or highlighter. Some great budget options are CoverGirl Instant Cheekbones (available on Amazon) and E.L.F. Bite Size face duos. I also recommend ColourPop and Essence for affordably priced options. Foundation is not needed for class. If students want to try foundation, I recommend the ColourPop Pretty Fresh line or the Wet n Wild Photofocus Dewy. Lips Essence Shine Shine Shine lip gloss (available at Ulta) is fabulous, especially given the low price.
