I'm giving the MAC chat person the benefit of the doubt in that she may not have understood what you were asking. Perhaps if you said that her answer wasn't what you were looking for and restated your question in a more direct manner, then she might tell you the information that you want.

Also, printer paper works fine for practicing, you just have to be more delicate (ie, I wouldn't glob liquid foundation all over it). I'm trying to be helpful, as I'm sure the MAC chat person was. And I'm not trying to sound rude either but the way that you ask questions and respond to people who are trying to assist you is difficult to field.
