This all-ages course is for anyone who identifies as female and was created for transgender women and girls, Assigned Male at Birth (AMAB), Assigned Female at Birth (AFAB), and nonbinary persons with a desire to learn about aesthetics. The nine modules were designed as a list-style "all-in-one-place" source of information for individuals who are just starting out with female-centered grooming, makeup, and fashion.
Jam-packed with big, clear photos, videos, and lively animations, this course breaks down all of the categories of personal care, makeup, and assembling a wardrobe into bite-size pieces for easy understanding.
All makeup products used in these tutorials are affordable drugstore brands that can be found easily and inexpensively. No "high-end" products were used since the course is made for beginners with budget restrictions. Clothing and wardrobe modules follow the same principles, keeping budget in mind.
All makeup tutorials include a downloadable list of products used, as well as a handy shopping guide and makeup application "course syllabus" to be kept on a mobile device for easy access while shopping or online ordering.
Finally, it is strongly recommended that students practice all makeup exercises seated in a comfortable position (not standing!) at a table with direct and bright lighting and a magnifying mirror. A bright window is best but a powerful ring light is also suitable.
