In this one-time, one-hour class, students will learn the basics of application for foundation, concealer, and powder as well as some of the theory behind these techniques, and mix their own foundation shade from primary colors.

Class Experience

I graduated from the Art of Makeup School in Portland, OR, where I received a makeup artistry certification.

We will be applying makeup to the face and eye area in this class. Be aware of any allergies your students may have and make sure to check the ingredients of the products they will be using for any materials they may be sensitive to. If you would be more comfortable supervising your student while they apply makeup to their eye area, feel free to join the class for some or all of our meeting time.
