Summer makeup lessons on tap at Make Up For Ever
Make Up For Ever has launched a series of small group lessons to teach customers some of the tricks of professional makeup application.
The classes are $25 each, and sessions are scheduled at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. on Mondays through the end of July at the makeup company’s Topanga boutique, at Westfield Topanga mall, 6600 Topanga Canyon Blvd.
Each 90-minute class is limited to 10 students, who are instructed on application techniques and encouraged to practice so they can easily recreate the looks on their own. Students also receive a personal color consultation and a follow-up phone call from a makeup artist to answer questions.
Upcoming session titles and dates are “Smudge Proof Summer” on June 24; “Complexion and Contour,” July 1 and July 8; “Day to Play,” July 15 and 22; and “Natural Beauty,” July 29.
To book a class, call Make Up For Ever’s Topanga boutique at (818) 884-8446.
