Hi everyone! Sorry if this is in the wrong area, I don't use the site much and I'm not sure where everything is, but I figured you guys could help me.
I only have about one year of barely any makeup experience, and was actually in a contest recently (for fun ad experience--I knew I'd lose but it was worth a shot) and, basically I've been encouraged greatly by two of the judges to not disappoint them next year.
They recommended that I check out makeups that other people have done and try that out for myself and practice, practice, practice!
My problem is...I'm not sure where to begin? SFX makeup is such a broad thing, I have no idea what I should be practicing. In all honestly, I'm not even sure if I have a good set of brushes and tools--I don't know what brushes are good to use for what techniques and things like that. I took a class for one semester, but that didn't really help much.
I know the Stan Winston School is an excellent place for learning, but I'm currently on a tight budget (and I'm not sure how it works, either. Do you get to save the videos you watch or are they only available to you when you have a subscription?)
Anyway, before this gets long winded, I'm pretty much just looking for some guidance. Any help at all would be much appreciated!
