If you were planning to spend some money on a new collection anyway, a class like one of these may be a fun way to couple your new products with some professional instruction. To reserve a spot in a MAC Studio Talk class through Bloomingdale’s costs $75, but that amount also applies toward the purchase of MAC products at the end of the class. Other times, they’ll be more lecture-style. Classes are usually kept small (30 people or less), and in some cases hands-on (as was the MAC Studio Talk class), where you’re able to apply products on yourself. Makeup classes like these are often free, but sometimes stores or brands will charge a nominal fee. Ask in the stores, as well (check with the counter staff), because other brands offer similar classes. I found out about the MAC Studio Talk class through the Bloomingdale’s website. If you love makeup, brand-sponsored classes like these are a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
