BASIC MAKEUP WORKSHOP!

My ultimate dream is to be able to set up my own makeup school. Through the years of my beauty industry experience, I discovered that I am most passionate about teaching! So, while I am still building my empire to set up my school, I am conducting workshops! I've done several for NARS, Laura Mercier and Chanel - and it's awesome that I am trusted by these brands to do them!

The Style Quarter, a multiply seller that features professional and consumer makeup brands, partnered with me to produce a series of workshops - the very first one will happen on March 3, 2012! I've posted the details below and I do hope that all of you would take part and reserve slots for this. I promise that it would be a very relevant and "newbie-friendly" class!

So here's the information, as can also be seen at http://thestylequarter.multiply.com/journal/item/35/The_Style_Quarter_Basic_Makeup_Workshop_:
