BROW BOOT CAMP Class Description:

This 4 Hour Hands-On Workshop is for the Make Up Artist who wishes to greatly improve their abilities with

brow grooming, shaping & achieving different brow looks/enhancements through the use of color cosmetic

products. BROW BOOT CAMP will strongly focus on enhancing individual features through careful

evaluation of facial anatomy, assessment of individual facial features, & visually correcting over-groomed

brows through precision application of brow waxes/powders/pencils/gels.

This workshop will assure that the artist gets on the road to brilliantly executing beautiful natural & trend eye

brow looks for every segment of the industry - whether consumer, bridal, HD media, runway, fashion,

editorial or print. Workshop segments include several series of comprehensive exercises to structurally

bolster the "brow acumen" of MUAs at every level. Attendees are asked to bring their professional kits,

brushes & a model for this intensive environment where the artists will be applying specifics concerning

brows in practice.
