Starting a class - Any comments?

[Willa]

Hello my darlings

Tomorrow, I'm starting a makeup class with a well established makeup artist here in Montreal. I'd like to ask for your opinion, if I'm investing my money right.

It cost 1500$, I can make 6 payments.
I talked about her to the MUA's at my MUFE counter and they said it was well invested. At the end, we're starting our own portefolio, we'll be 3 in the class.

Here's her website/portefolio and what she'll be showing us, and after that, what I've been asked to bring for the first ''module''.

Her work is so beautiful! It looks like she has almost everything covered. Many workshops usually have a section on learning to market yourself as an artist, testing, etc. You might want to ask her about this as well as doing makeup for HD TV. Have fun! I'm jealous lol. Workshops never come to my area

I searched a lot on the internet about makeup classes (workshops), especially on weekends, and never really found something interesting. I somewhat know her (throught internet meetings and such) so that's a plus...

About HD TV, the girls at MUFE can teach it to me since I mostly bought HD products. About that, in march they want me to help them do a runway, about 60 models. That's C R A Z Y! What a fantastic first experience it will be!

About marketing and testing, I read many stuff on that, so if she doesnt cover it it's not that bad. I'm resourceful on that, know some girls and people here and there. Anyway, I can't quit my day job right now. Need money... lolll
