MAC Studio Talk - Experiences and Questions

[kera484]

Re: mac studio talk - anyone

I just went to my first Studio Talk this past Saturday. It was also the day to night class. It was interesting, but I felt that it was a little too beginner for me. It was fun however being with people that love makeup. Like a previous poster, it seemed like most of the people in the class were just getting into their mac obsession. I found that a lot of the people in the class were coming up to me, and complementing me on what I used. I really did like the look I came out with though, and purchased many products. I would love to do another one, but it would have to be intermediate or advanced so that I can really get some tricks.

I went to the same one. Boring in a way casue I didnt learn anything. But it was fun to be in a room full of mac lovers!

I would actually love to go to a beginner class, because although i'm sure i would already know everything in it, i was pretty much self-taught with my makeup, so it would be nice to hear make up application from the basics in "terms" and work up from there, so i could feel like i had some training, lol. i wonder what my studio talk will be like this november...hmm..

Hey everyone, just reviving this thread because I am wondering how much is studio talk usually? The one I'm going to is $100, although a different Nordstrom charged me $50 when they had their Studio Talk last month. Anyone?

The last few they've had here in Atlanta had a $50 reservation.

Hey.. I know you're in Salt Lake and I was wondering if you are coming to the studio talk at Fashion Place Nordstrom? If you are, it's because we are having Victor C (he is a MAJOR senior artist.. he does all the runways in Milan and Paris) and so that's why the price was bumped up a little bit.. because this is HUGE. It's going to be awesome!!

Re: mac studio talk - anyone

Awesome, thanks you just saved me a call to the store!

I can't wait to go, seriously I'm so excited, the $100 is worth it for sure! I was just afraid the MA made a mistake about the price or something! Anyways, thanks for clearing it up! Hopefully I'll see you there!

WE are so excited to have him!! Right now my dilemma is I hope that us as employees get to have a class with him! (As of right now we will all be downstairs during the classes!) Hopefully we will get to have a private master class with him the night before. I can't believe nobody told you he was going to be the artist??? Bummer.

I totally hope you MAs get a class! Do they usually let MAs go to the class? Man I'm going to be so nervous! lol. No one told me exactly who it was, just that it was Missy Elliott's MA or something...the Orem Studio Talk was canceled this month, so I was really excited to hear about this one, and now I'm just wayyy too happy for words.

Thanks again for the heads up!

*gasp* That's so cool! I just went to my first one and it was also basic. I volunteered earlier to be a model so it wasn't too mundane - a bit nervewracking actually, having everyone stare at you! The artists we had were Melissa G and Melanie L. Melissa worked on my face with a simple your-face-but-better look using only Woodwinked and Shroom on the lids. I was hoping for a more complex look but it was pretty cool to have my face done by a senior artist!

Re: mac studio talk - anyone

Awesome! Do you know, I've never gone to one of these, so do I just come completely bare faced? And do I bring any of my own tools (brushes, makeup), or just me myself and I?

the one we just had saturday was supposed to be a hands on seminar. the artist demo'd on the models, then the custies did the look on themselves. however, it got changed at the last minute to just a regular seminar where the trained demo'd on the models and people asked questions after. so, needless to say, people showed up with no makeup thinking they'd be doing there own there, and then the plans changed.

so, i'd check with your counter to see what type of studio talk it'll be. most of the time they are just regular seminars and not hands on. if this is the case, you'd wanna go with your normal face on.

No don't come bare faced.. each class will have about 70 people and there will only be 2 looks done... unless you get chosen to be a model!! You don't need to bring anything.. everything will be provided there for you.

It's going to be so much fun!!

Ok so I was Victor C's model today! That was me with the crazy, funky yet awesome makeover! lol. I had so much fun, and learned a ton, probably most importantly that I'm super pale (he matched me at NC15)!

Awesome! I'm trying to remember, b/c there were so many people coming up to me- but you'd think black and purple hair would be memorable...

Did you help me w/ my items I wanted to buy? I'll have to come say hi when I'm up there again!! That was a really fun event, I hope you got to see a little of it!
