the class that we had was very informative. i learned a lot of things that i would not learn by trial and error simply because the only face i put make-up on is my own. because of the experience, i promised myself that i will not use liquid foundation if i had a choice. learning about make-up emphasized the fact that it's fake. it's like temporary plastic surgery. i don't mind light make-up -- powder, lip tint and a little eye shadow, but i don't find the need to do all out make-up on a daily basis.
the difference in the before and after photos are not obvious because the lighting is different. photography did not do justice to the make-up, but either way, the difference really wasn't that obvious because it's a day look. maybe more practice would make a difference.
