Does this 3-week makeup class sound like a rip-off?

Ok, there is a makeup school (Napoleon Perdis) in Hollywood that I was interested in attending. The tuition for this short class is a little over $700, but they also make you buy over $1,000 worth of makeup from them. While in class, students are allowed to use the school's makeup to practice with. The makeup that the students buy is supposed to be used when they launch their careers. They are to use only the finest makeup. That sounds like nonsense to me, because there makeup is not the cheapest in stores. Other companies sell their beaty products much cheaper (Revlon, Cover Girl, etc.) What should I do?Does this 3-week makeup class sound like a rip-off?
check them out with the Better Business Bureau just go to thier web page and look them up and you can read any negative info on them if there is any. good luck.Does this 3-week makeup class sound like a rip-off?
Thing is, Revlon, CG and those other cheaper brands are drugstore brands with lower quality. Napoleon Perdis is a high-end makeup brand. You might want to check out other classes that are available and consider, instead, purchasing cosmetics from MAC which is a little more cost-effective for a high-end brand, is very high-quality, and easily accessible. MAC is usually the first choice for makeup artists.
It sounds like a scam to me.





I would suggest googling the class and teachers.

    Do they notice and what do they think about it?





    Do they think, ';She doesn't need it'; or what?~~~What do guys think of girls who put on gobs of makeup during class?~~~?
    I think they are cheap two dollar tramps. I wouldn't associate with those kinds of girls.~~~What do guys think of girls who put on gobs of makeup during class?~~~?
    guys usually like more natural...yet girls think they have to pile it on to look beautiful.....
    lots of make up hides flaws if its put on corectly and the girls that put it on are most likely seeking attention...As for the boys I dont know maybe they enjoy watching it...

    Looking specifically for makeup classes in Dallas or Houston metro areas?

    I am a full time pediatric RN, wife, and mother looking to go back to school for makeup application. I have been doing my own makeup since I was 16 and absolutely love the possible opportunities in the film, fashion, and photography industry. However, with a full time job and family, its difficult to find any classes that are specifically for makeup and not the entire concentration on cosmetology. I am looking for online courses or weekly courses with reasonable tuition. Thx in advance for any comments or suggestions!!Looking specifically for makeup classes in Dallas or Houston metro areas?

    Do you put makeup on in class/in the bathroom at school?

    i see girls putting on makeup in class and i dont understand how they do it because i would feel so weird doing that. in the bathroom i'll do it occasionally but i feel like everyone is staring at me...so if i want to touch up my makeup i do it in the stall....idk why, but i just don't want everyone seeing my makeup ...my mother told me you should never put makeup on in public lol. do you ever put makeup on at school?Do you put makeup on in class/in the bathroom at school?
    Sometimes I do.Do you put makeup on in class/in the bathroom at school?
    I hate when people look at me putting on make up so i usually put it on in the bathroom go during class just ask ur teacher to go to the bathroom their arent a lot of people than
    Technically it is bad etiquette to apply makeup in public, but that is a pretty outdated rule. The bathroom is the proper place for all grooming, including makeup application, but I think there are exceptions. As long as you're not applying a full face of foundation or anything that requires you to bust out tools or applicators, I think it's okay to quickly touch up makeup in public (for example, re-applying lipgloss or wiping away a mascara smudge).





    Whenever I see people applying makeup out in public, like at a restaurant table, I want to tell them to go into the bathroom to do it (and so do many of my guy friends, apparently).





    I'd rather do my makeup in the car than have strangers watch me poke and prod my face in public, but that's just me.
    I put it on in the bathroom stall, but I only put on blot powder when my face is oily. The only reason why I do it in private is because the girls at my school all of a sudden act like it's a big deal when I pull the blot powder out my bag.
    I dont know why, but i feel the same way as you do. This one girl will just whip out her mini mirror and her eyeliner during class and put it on, and im just like :O


    i couldnt do it. Lol, i dunno if its the fact that guys would be watching me or whatever, but yeah even in the bathroom i cant do it with other girls staring and whatnot.
    i do, actually i put on my makeup on the train on my way to school. Dont you need a mirror to put on makeup , how do you put it on in the bathroom stall
    There is nothing wrong with applying your makeup in public. if it's that big of a deal, then wait for girls to get out of the bathroom. Or have a mirror in your locker, and when you want to touch it up, ask to go to the bathroom but instead go to your locker





    I have no makeup to touch up though, since my eye makeup pretty much stays in place all day and I don't wear foundation.
    I think putting on makeup in the bathroom is fine, but in class it's tacky. the only thing I'll do in class is lip gloss or chapstick but anything more than that is silly.
    omg i could never do that! i hate those girls who feel the need to constantly whip out their makeup bag and put on a pound of makeup! lol... And you can't even tell the difference. Sometimes i'll check my mirror to see if my makeup is messed up or to fix it with my fingers real quick, or to put on lip gloss, but that's it. A girl got yelled at the other day in my class for putting on on eyeliner lol. I think it's best to do that in the bathroom, and even then, it's like the other girls stare at you like ';omg, she's hogging the mirror'; lol
    Yes, I do in the bathroom. Other girls know other girls wear makeup, so I don't see it as a big deal. Sometimes, though I would do it in the stall, just because I do not like when people stare. It's irritating.





    In class or whatever, I would sometimes put on lipgloss... but never any powder or mascara or any of that. I would just go to the bathroom if that is really necessary to do in public.





    There is this one girl in my TA who is unbelievable. Not only does she never hesitate breaking out the mascara or liquid eyeliner, but she also likes to paint her nails (yes, with actual reeking nail polish) during class.








    Unbelievable, some people.

    How do i pass swimming class without messing up my hair and makeup?

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~WATER PROOF EVERYTHING ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





    EVEN HAIR JELLHow do i pass swimming class without messing up my hair and makeup?
    A school swimming class, i would try to get to class early then remove your makeup ( small amount, or you will be late), and for a swimming class on a saturday or afternoon, just don't wear your makeup.





    ~do the natural look~
    ummm then dont go swimming?
    use goggles to cover up your eyes and a cap to cover your hair.


    Also bring extra make up to touch it up.
    lots of girls did this in my school...they did laps wit their hair and head up...then sat around i nthe pool until we could get out...idk wats different in ur school tho
    wwwaow.. time to not be so girly.
    you can swim with your head above the water. it is possible, though not too convenient if you need to swim for long periods of time and very difficult if your swimming class involves diving. for the makeup, you can wear waterproof makeup and it should stay put. I don't know about spiked hair
    i gues you could wear waterproof makeup and a swim cap for your hair.
    wear waterproof makeup, and a swim cap. and not to be mean, but u don't hav to wear makeup when ur swimming, cuz no one is going to look at ur face, but it's ur decision
    Tbh you cant realy do nothing :S lol


    unless you put a hair cap on them realy


    tight ones you can buy at pools


    and with makeup not mcuh you can always try buying


    a good waterproof mascara but there not probily


    gunna be good enough for proper swiming


    but its wortth trying :) x
    why dont u just go without makeup for one day and wear a swim cap to keep ur hair dry?





    its only ONE day and will it be worth it to fail the class just b/c u couldnt go without for one day? think about it....

    Is there any class in San Diego/LA that teaches how to correctly apply makeup?

    Not a course for professional makeup artists, but for regular women who want to learn how to look better.
