I have always wanted to learn makeup and loved it, but I never found the right teacher. I enjoy seeing makeup on others, but applying it on myself is hard. I can at least clean my face and shape my brows. I'm happy to be a student in the makeup class this season.

Hello Teacher,

I present my homework below...

My skin is like my introduction; it's the first thing people notice, so it's crucial for me to understand my skin type to select the right makeup products.

Based on what I've learned, I have Normal skin. I've never had dry or oily skin. My skin tends to be shiny in the T-zone, but I don’t experience oiliness since my powder stays on until I wash it off. I also haven’t had flaky or rough patches, which makes me confident that my skin is normal.

I don’t do much to care for my skin. I wash my face with a gentle towel during my bath and again at night after a long day. I use aloe vera every two weeks to cleanse my skin. I consider my smooth skin a special gift since I’ve never had pimples. I’ve also noticed that my skin feels soft because of my daily habits. I prefer natural moisturizers over synthetic ones.

I realized I have a round face, and it’s nice to confirm my thoughts. This lecture helped me understand my face shape better, and now I know how to enhance it and feel confident.

To accentuate my round face, I will focus on my forehead, cheekbones, and chin. I’m determined to practice with the right tools until I get it right.

I really like makeup, but I've never worn it myself, so I don't have my own set of brushes. I've seen others with their brushes, and I always admire them when they open their boxes. I have a few brushes that I got for myself, but I don't know how to use them.

As a woman, I need to have all these makeup brushes since each one has its own function. For example, the concealer brush is one I can use very well. I picked up how to use it by watching an online video, and my makeup kit became more exciting after that. I'm not very skilled with the eyelash brush, so I don't use it much. Every makeup item is helpful, and I plan to get more as this lesson continues.

When it comes to using the concealer to correct an imperfection, I would prefer using a concealer brush. First, it is what I learned to apply my concealer with. Secondly, using the concealer brush would give me an amazing result such that the imperfection will not be visible. For blurring, I will prefer using my sponge to blend.

Having makeup items is very necessary but knowing how to use them is another thing. The only thing I use concealer to do is to make invisible my
