Reply To: How did you learn to apply makeup?

[Alison Anderson]

I chose other. When I had my first makeover at a transformation place, the woman not only did my make-up, but taught me as she was doing it and even let me do parts of it myself. Her philosophy on these initial private lessons was to be a mother figure to her “girls” who were learning for the first time. (When she did makeovers before her parties, it was just a makeover, not a lesson.)
