The Makeup That Makes Us Project provides professional makeup workshops to local women's and LGBTQIA shelters. These industry makeup workshops teach and empower individuals to become proficient in makeup artistry and design. They learn how to apply makeup for job interviews, design glam makeup for special events/occasions, disguise bruises/scratches/cuts and create prosthetic makeup to gain an entertainment industry vocational skill (used in theatre, television and film). Clients develop skills and knowledge about the different facets of makeup design as well as updated and trending application techniques. Makeup is a powerful tool used to express beauty, individuality and artistry. Moreover, it is a skillset that is prevalent in our cultural zeitgeist and in high demand across the entire entertainment industry. Learning these skills through this inclusive platform creates equity as this trade is often reserved for those who pursue degrees in makeup design or esthetician training.
