Junior reporters from Young Post spent a wonderfully enriching afternoon with American cosmetic brand Bobbi Brown last month, learning about the Christmas make-up trends. Now, the girls share their fabulous experience with Young Post readers.
Heyna Wong:
It was an interesting experience to attend the make-up workshop with Bobbi Brown. In the past, I used to think that cosmetics could be applied in any way to make girls look more mature. But now I know it depends on which colour combination you choose. I also used to think that doing make-up was time-consuming, but now I know it can be done in just three minutes.
Stephanie Siu:
I think the workshop was brilliant, and I learnt so many useful make-up skills. By applying the 10 basic steps, I can have a natural and pretty look. As a teen, I sometimes read beauty magazines to get tips on how to do make-up. But it is often quite difficult to follow the steps. This time, I had a chance to learn from a professional stylist face to face, and learnt the secret of drawing smooth eye lines.
Some might say that teenagers are too young to be learning make-up. But I think, if it is a non-school day, it is acceptable. Of course, we shouldn't apply make-up on school days, but on the weekends, why not?
Desmond and Yvonne were so generous, teaching us step by step and providing many make-up tips. Practice makes perfect. I'm sure my make-up skills will improve as I continue to practise. Overall, I really enjoyed this workshop.
