Makeup Class Review: Sephora’s Wearing Color class

Did you know Sephora offers free makeup classes at some of their store locations? I decided to check out the Wearing Color class which explained how to wear and apply colored eyeliner and colored eye shadow. The class was fun and interesting.

 

For me, the best part about the class was getting to play with the makeup brushes and the makeup. We were able to try different types of brushes and different brand/colors of makeup. Even better, if we didn’t have a brand or color at our table that we wanted to try, someone would go get it for us. Now that’s service!

Generally, one of the things that I don’t like about going to beauty stores is that when I try the products, I feel obligated to buy them. At the class, there was no pressure to buy. Sephora just wants to teach you something about makeup.

Lets talk about the brushes. I used to own a complete set of high-end makeup brushes but I didn't get a chance to put them to work because somehow they got lost while in the hands of my boyfriend…and he doesn’t even wear makeup. Weird, right? I have just recently come to the realization that I am not going to find those brushes. MayMay needs new brushes. Since going to this class I now know which eye shadow brushes I would want to buy. Here are the brushes I liked:

First was the crease brush.

This brush is used to put eye shadow in the crease of your eye lid. I have seen this look before but never tried it myself. It really defines your eye and the color on your eyelids so you can peacock like the princesses you are.

Next is the eye shadow brush.

This brush was probably the most useful. It helps apply eye shadow to the eye lids. I like it because with the brush I can really pack the pigment onto my eyelids. It worked a lot better then the little sponge applicators that come with the eyeshadow. I feel like the sponges just move the shadow around and are not good for layering to add more "pop."

Last is the eye liner brush.

I liked this for getting a nice line of color below my lower eye lashes. It really helped to control where the color is going so you don't get a lot of fallout everywhere.

We tried some other brushes too but I didn’t feel like they were anything special or a necessity for applying eyecolor.

Then came the makeup! The main objective for this class was try colors outside of most people’s comfort zone and I love this! Unfortunately, the colors I did try didn’t work for me but now I know that thanks to this class. On the plus side, I found that I really like the Urban Decay Naked pallet. I know, I know, bitches have been on that shit forever. Also, their Naked nail polishes are sick. I. Must. Buy.

Overall, the class was good. It was a fun thing to do on a free Sunday morning. Yes, Sunday morning. Just think of it as going to the Church of Makeup. My local Sephora had the class from 9-11am prior to the store opening. Check with your Sephora to see when these classes are happening.

I would recommend going to the class if you have some time to kill and have a Sephora location nearby. I would not go out of my way for the class. It was interesting but it was also stuff you could learn on your own…or from reading us! 

Love, MayMay
