Class Description

Make up and femininity are the halves of one very complicated social identity Femmes, Nonbinary peoples, and Trans folks have created an idea that is affectionately termed as: “Femme Armor” to describe the act of wearing make up as a shield to an often cruel world.

In this hour we will be discussing: Centering techniques to get you into the right headspace Basic Skin management Debunking common makeup misconceptions What makeup products to avoid How to do this all on a budget

This entire class will be structured in a “get ready with me” format which means you will be able to watch my entire makeup process from start to finish. There will be plenty of time for questions and hands on demos So join me in finding what tools and application techniques could be used in finding your own definition of Femme Armor.

All persons wanting to learn how to apply makeup are welcome
