2. ● How to interact with others on a personal level
o Beauty is personal, and people can be specific about their
appearances - and understandably!
● What other people like and dislike
o Beauty is also relative, like many other things. It’s important to take
other people’s considerations in when helping them - treat them the
way THEY want to be treated, as I say.
● Whether I have a talent for my passion
o Doing my own makeup is different from doing someone else’s, as
I’ve learned.
What do I hope to learn?

5. The Trial Run
We still found time for some fun (and selfies)
The only mishap? Her cat
spilled some soy milk on
the carpet and distracted
us for a few minutes...
6. The Trial Run (End Result)

*Silver with
gray undertones
and red lipstick
7. The Trial Run (End Result)
Her hair
*A loose french braid
with volume near the
crown (I’d never done
a french braid
before!)
8. ● It’s important to accommodate other people’s tastes and values
o Not just with hair! People I encounter in my career are going to have
different ideas and beliefs and I’m going to need to embrace those
when I come across them (just like I did the winged eyeliner).
● How to communicate effectively
o It’s okay to ask questions. It’s better to ask how someone wants
something done a hundred times than to mess up and have to start all
over.
● I can have fun under pressure
o Doing makeup is stressful work, especially when it’s for someone
else, but I learned to let loose and have a good time, and it made the
experience way more enjoyable.
What did I learn?
