In Depth Blog 4

Yesterday was my ultimate in depth day!! I had been having trouble getting a hold of my mentor because she was in the middle of moving and was doing things with work, so I signed up for this one day event that MAC  was putting on. It was a two hour session with a few make up consultants and a small group of about 12 people. There were three stations that we would walk around to in groups of three or four and we would learn a different style at each station. The theme of the event was “Spot on Trends” so it was looks that celebrities have. The three stations were The Grammy Look, The Academy Awards, and The Everyday Celebrity. The pictures below are each of the looks that we were taught how to make.

I was taught a lot about the different MAC products, how to use them, and what they were used for and a bunch of tricks to applying make up to make it easier. The first look I learned about was the Grammy look. The few main important points I learned from that station was about fake eye lashes, important brushes and a product called Paint Pot. One of the girls in my group asked about fake eyelashes because she said that she always had trouble putting them on. The consultant told us that what she usually does is cuts the eyelashes in half and places them on the outer corner of her eye, and then she places the other half on top. That way you still get thicker eyelashes and it’s not uncomfortable. Next was the important brushes, and there are three of them. Its brush number 217, 266, and 22. Brush 217 is a good blend brush, number 266 is good for liners, and number 242 is great for highlights and primer. You can complete any look for your eyes with these main brushes and she also said to wash your primer brush regularly to prolong how long you can use it. The last important lesson I learned from this station was about a product called Paint Pot. It’s a primer you put on your eye lid before anything else, to make the eye shadow you put on after a lot brighter. I bought this afterwards because that’s the issues I was having with my eye shadow. I had tons of it but the colours weren’t bright enough.

The second station was the Academy Awards. There wasn’t anything memorable from that station that is important to share. It was all just basic steps to creating a chic and classic look. The last station was The Everyday Celebrity. This station was all about not over doing it with tons of makeup, just enhancing your natural look. Again nothing that important to share, but I did discover an amazing powder foundation that I bought for myself called Studio Careblend. I felt really sad though when she pulled out the shade called “Light Plus” and said it was my perfect shade.  

Oh, I almost forgot about another great thing that happened yesterday. Before I went to MAC style session, my Mom and I went to Sears to return some stuff and we saw my mentor there. She apologized for how busy she had been and asked for my number and gave me hers, so I am going to meet up with her when she has some time. So yesterday was a great day over all, and I got lots of stuff done.
