The Fundamentals of Professional Makeup Artistry

For the fall semester of 2010 I enrolled in an ARTX course called The Fundamentals of Professional Makeup Artistry. I have a strong interest in cosmetology specifically with Makeup artistry more than hairstyling. My fascination with makeup started when I was in 8th grade. I started using lip gloss and eye liner and I loved how it made my lips and eyes pop out more. Ever since then I would experiment with different kinds of makeup such as mascara, blush, eyeliner, lip liner, lipstick, lipglosses etc. Honestly, I spend more money on makeup products and tools than I do on clothes or shoes nowadays. I really want to get into makeup artistry and hopefully do PR for a cosmetic company. I have over 25 different makeup applicant brushes. One wouldn't think there would be that many brushes to use just for the face. Well, there is! I am really excited to take this course because my parents did not support the idea of me going to a cosmetology school over a university back when I was a senior in high school. They would never pay for such courses. Now that there is one available at Montclair State I am taking the opportunity to learn and expand my knowledge on makeup application. This course is relevant to what I want to do when working in the future after college.
