EXCO 702 - BeatCo

1 credit
Welcome to BeatCo! BeatCo is an inclusive space for makeup enthusiasts of all skill levels! This course is designed to teach complete beginners the skills to apply a full face of makeup by the end of the semester, and be a space for intermediate or advanced makeup artists to work on their skills, and maybe new techniques. We will be examining makeup in different sectors as well as looking at makeup through different lenses including colourism and sexism. This class is designed to give an overview of some basic makeup techniques and products and to examine the history behind makeup and what the industry looks like now. We will learn basic skills like how to apply foundation and concealer, how to get the perfect lip shade, and how to apply false eyelashes, all the way up to more advanced techniques like cut crease eyeshadow and drag makeup. There is room in this class for makeup artists of all skill levels, and more advanced students are welcome to use more advanced skills while demonstrating the techniques learned in the class.
