How's everyone's course going??

[KirstyJayne]

Hi everyone! Just wondering how your all doing? My names Kirsty I'm 22 from Lincolnshire, England. I've been doing the course since last year but only on unit B. I lost my job in a hair salon at the beginning of the year, I'd been there for six years very gutted but the salon had to close due to the recession. I've lost a lot of time on my course as I started up my own business as a mobile hairdresser and not really had a lot of time to do much of it but I have my motivation back now and will be cracking on. Would be great to hear from you all.

I only just turned in Unit A on Sunday, but I am very excited to get to Unit B where I actually get to start working on people!

Hi! Just heard from my course counselor and I got an "A!" on Unit "A". I was a little confused about some of the questions but I did very well! I am so happy! Have been practicing and shopping on Ebay, got lots of good stuff, primers and foundations, etc. Bought Mac brushes and twofaced eye primer, Benefit Lemon-Aide, Urban Decay Eye Primer. I like both primers, but twofaced seems to hold on to the true color. Urban Decay, is smoother and is also good. I've used my daughter as a model for my makeup and my God mother. I wanted to use an older woman to see what type of skin I can work on. Older women have softer skin and there's not much elasticity, but with a little gentle nudging, you can bring it back to life. (Check out my photos). Well, looking forward to the next class! Hasta la pasta, babeeeeeeee!

It's so good hearing from people in the same situation as me. I have a few more assignments to do on unit B. can't wait to hand it in. Soooo Looking forward to doing the fantasy makeup it looks amazing. What do u all hope to do when you've finished the course ??

[KellyW]

Thats great! Good for you! I want to travel a bit and get my name out there do lots of different things. Fashion, theater ect. Eventually down the road Iam wanting to open my own makeup boutique and sell the makeup products I use. How about u??

G'morning all! Hot as all get-out here in NYC. Read all your responses and hope all goes well for everybody. Its funny how when you mention you're becoming a makeup artist how people ask you why don't you do hair also so that you can do their hair. Really? Am I here at your disposal and to accommodate you're every whim? I laugh on the inside because my passion is MAKEUP! Hello! Lol. What I love about makeup is that you can be a chameleon. You can change you're looks with the stroke of a brush. You can high-light, shadow, reshape and mold you're face to make it look the way you want it. Not physically, of course, but for a photo shoot? With a little latex, skin-colored foundation and makeup? Viola! Who the heck r u? Lol In reality though, makeup does help to enhance your best features. nothing like it. Ok then, have a splendid day!

I just turned in my assignments for Unit A but am already reading Unit C!!

[Blueluvah]

Im just as excited w/ every one and kinda find myself asking, well, how is it that I cant understand what Im being asked to complete on the stocking your kit assignment?
Im laughing cuz, it should be so simple yet, I always tend to over analyze and then second guess.
I have my Chef papers and Im educated in another field, not such a far stretch from this one, just different mediums.
I posted a question, if someone could oblidge me w/ and answer, I'd be so grateful.
Thanks.

Hi,
I am new and just enrolled Sept. 28th, so I am still waiting for my course materials to arrive (tracking info. says it will arrive 10/4, my b-day, what an awesome present!) however I have completed the A1 assignment and saved it to my flash drive. When my materials arrive, I can begin on A2. I am very excited. As I am browsing through the info. that I do have and the posts here on the forum, I can say so far so good, I guess LOL!

Congrats Kristy!!! That is awesome! I am hoping to do as well here as I am in my undergrad Criminal Justice/Human Service courses Thanks for the early B-day wishes. Although my B-day falls on a Thurs. and I have to work, I guess I will wait and find something to do on the weekend.

Kristy, are you a PBA member? If not, were you interested in becoming a member? If we can register in a group of 5 or more, we can register for only $45.

Got my Unit A materials about 2 hours ago, checked everything and all is there. One of my eyeshadows were crushed up and the case (not the product) is cracked up on one side ...otherwise everything else was ok. I guess I will start on A2 and get that done today!! Wish me luck!

[KirstyJayne]
