The class begins with an introduction to basic principles of makeup, covering how to choose the right products and tools based on factors such as face shape and skin tone. The instructor then demonstrates the step-by-step process of makeup application, from foundation and concealer to eyebrow shaping and lipstick. Every detail is explained thoroughly.

During her demonstration, the instructor invites different students to the stage to experience the process themselves. This gives them the opportunity to observe the techniques firsthand and see the transformation on their own faces, making the magic of makeup more tangible.

At the end of the class, many students gather around the podium, eager to ask the instructor for personalized advice on their face shapes, suitable makeup looks and product recommendations.

“I used to think makeup was complicated, but after listening to the instructor’s explanations, I realize it can be so simple,” one student said. “This session teaches me how to apply makeup based on my own features. I now see that many of the techniques I have used before were actually incorrect.”
