Hi again loves! Two posts in one day...I'm on a roll! Lol, on to the topic of today! I've always been a crazy makeup junkie ever since I was tall enough to reach my mommy's makeup! But had no clue about skincare other than the fact you were suppose to wash your makeup off at night...which I hardly ever did- hence my ACNE and acne hyperpigmentation. So shortly after I graduated high school I looked into makeup schools but where I'm from they do not offer just makeup schools. Then I stumbled across a school for Esthetics, I was like what the heck is that?!?! As I did more research I discovered what Esthetics were and what the program was all about...SKINCARE! I instantly was interested and signed up to meet with one of the advisers. I started school that April! I do not regret my decision. I learned so much not only about skin care but about waxing, threading, some massage techniques, facials, makeup application, what products are good for certain skin types! School last for 9 months, but they sure do pack and so much information in those 9 months! Although 9 months may seem like a short time period and you can't fully learn everything in those months but what Esthetics school does is teach you the basics of skin care and makeup and your experiences with the on-site clinic (which I will get to in a minute) and real life experiences is what teaches you the rest! When you're an Esthetician you work on people on a daily basis and of course you need to practice before you go out there on your own so yes you do work on your classmates. After a few weeks of learning how to do a facial or waxing you put your new skills to the test at clinic! (Clinic- is a on-site spa, customers come there to receive facials or waxing treatments for lower prices then spas with licensed Estheticians...for your practice) I learned so much at clinic as well as Esthetic school in general and met some life long friends. The main reason I'm writing this post is to give you some insight on if you should go to makeup/skincare school. I would suggest going (not being biased) but it really prepares you for the "real world" and gives the basics of what you need to get into the beauty industry and many connects and plenty of job opportunities. I know I didn't go into major detail about the actual schooling, but if you beauties have any questions or comments or concerns please let me know in the comments below or at aubriidee@yahoo.com.
