siuyudim, thanks for your info..

the price of the program seems reasonable le =P do they require you to buy brand name products to start with? or it's ur preference?

i already bought the multiple orgasm from Nars.... i have a dumb question, how do you apply it? do you put it on directly on your face and blend with brush, or use fingers?

i went and bought the shiseido curler... i'm very impressed with it. i had a cheap cheap revlon one and i definitely notice the difference right away!

i also bought 2 lipsticks (1 sheer, 1 velvet), and 1 lipgloss from anna sui... i haven't used the velvet one yet, hope i will like it.

i can't wait to add more to my collection... make-up is getting really expensive... sigh..

Did you get The Multiple Orgasm instead of Orgasm (pressed powder blush)?
How do you like it? You can apply it directly onto your face and blend or on your finger first then apply to face and blend.

i got the multiple instead of just the pressed powder blush, it goes on smoothly. i think it's considered a cream blush because it turns into more of a powder texture when it's on the face. applying it directly on my face is not a problem but i'm having a hard time with the idea of ruining the stick with a spatula when applying on someone else.

rainy: in the beginning (fall 2007), they required students to purchase a kit from Make Up For Ever for about $450, but there was an additional list of products you still need to purchase on top...this resulted in not have enough students to run the course. so this spring, the course is offered again and students can purchase the required products in whatever brand they like. however, if you continue with the course...you cannot just go and purchase drugstore brands. i spent several hundred dollars already but still do not have everything i need...it's quite of an investment but is nothing compared to the brand name make-up schools.

siuyudim, thanks for your info! I was reading the program description on the vcc website and it says that students are required to purchase a make up box and bushes ($130) the first day of class.... etc

For this spring (your class), you can purchase whichever brands/ or they still require you to purchase  certain brands for certain items? It's an investment for sure.. but I know some other make-up schools are 10x more expensive le.....

What's the discounts you get from Make up For Ever, Shoppers, and MAC?

siuyudim

i bought the brushes and train case from the person the instructor brought in, you are not required to purchase from them but i did because it is much more convenient...main reason is because it was a heck of a deal. the brushes are professional but are not branded. if i bought branded ones, it could easily cost me $500.

the discount i get is 20% off, and i believe it's 40% off the first time at mac? i don't remember...i haven't used any of the discounts yet because i am restricted to purchase from the downtown stores which i do not want to do.

for those who use make-up brushes? do you use brush-cleaner or just shampoo?
