Group makeup class

Last Saturday I had an extremely fun working day at the salon!

I am alone with doing treatments on Saturdays (work every other day) and Miska is involved and helps in the store. And first of all, I had many lash and brow treatments in the morning, which was fun, and then after closing, I had my first makeup course in a group! :)

And to be the very first for me and my products (Annika has had courses like this at the salon before) I was incredibly happy with everything! It was a group of five girls, one of whom wore a make-up model and was made up by me, and at the same time as I showed the make-up tips step by step, the others got to hang out and put on make-up themselves.

I had set the table with mirrors, make-up brushes, napkins, tops and products for everyone, so they each had a make-up place prepared when they arrived.

And an hour before the course, they came by and picked up their drink tickets, because we offer a glass of bubbly at Hugo W right next door before the course starts. And it was really appreciated by everyone! Luxurious start to get everyone together and settle down in peace and quiet and talk a little shit before :)

When everyone came, they each got a coffee, and so we started!

Everyone had quite different experiences and wishes, so we did a make-up that is suitable for both everyday and for parties, so those who wanted party make-up could choose darker colors and those who wanted more natural could choose lighter.

And I have to say that it was very educational, not only for them but for me too :) Perfect way for me to see what people who are not as familiar with makeup think is difficult and not, so I got some blog material inspiration and also ideas on how to be a little more educational when explaining :)

But I have to say that it was incredibly fun to help the people who put on make-up themselves! To not just give tips and say "this is how you do it" like when I show in the blog or have private make-up consultations and make-up everything myself. Without also being allowed to help and show e.g. "Fade out the shadow more like this so you get a more invigorating result" and then you can show on one eye so the person sees the difference, and then do the same on the other eye yourself.

Feedback and help on the stack, but still being able to do most things yourself, is the best way to learn :)

After the course, everyone was nice and happy, and had a 10% discount on our entire range. One of them said one thing to me that warmed a lot, and that was that she appreciated how meticulous I was with details, and that I said very useful tips. She had been to a private make-up consultation at another place before but thought she got more out of mine, so it was absolutely wonderful to hear! ♥

I have made some changes to the layout after trying to have an evening like this, and in the future I will finish the person wearing the make-up model first, and then everyone else will have to start putting on make-up. Think it's easier for both me and them :)

Group makeup course costs SEK 450 per person, and you have 10% on the entire range and are offered a glass of bubbly at Hugo W before the course starts. You can read more about the layout at Creativemakeup.se.

Do you have any ideas / wishes / responses on how you would like to set up a makeup course like this to book yourself in with a bunch of friends? All tips are welcome!

Hugs are :)
