HR Beauty Virtual Class

Using water based face paints we painted a snowman holiday scene on our temple/cheek area. Here is a time lapse of what we did in our last class. If you are interested in learning the basics of face painting for fun, partires, or festivals, you can sign up for a group class or private lessons. Remember practice makes progress. Keep painting and have fun, Artists. 

WELCOME DANCERS! (and face painters too: more painting info at end of dance info)

Meet your dance instructor. I have my bachelors degree from Chapman University in Theatre & Dance. My training includes Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Folk Dance, Dance History, Hip-Hop, Musical Theatre, Improv, and Kinesiology, among other dance-related subjects. 

I teach my lessons just like many of you take lessons, when and wherever I can. I have taught in my living room, and local parks, I teach from conference rooms when I have to travel, or frommy backyard. One of the benefits of online classes is that it allows you the flexibility to do the things you love no matter where you are. I also teach from the perspective that I'm the same as you. I'm a busy mom juggling 4 kids and 2 jobs. Sound familiar? Making time in our day to chase our passions or just to fit in a fun workout is a way of working on our discipline and creating good dance habits that will supplement any additional in-person lessons you may be taking. 

I  grew up in a small town in Southern Illinois. Lessons were few and far between so I would copy dancing off of movies and videos in order to perform at local dances or for other community events. As a youth, I took country line dancing classes. Always drawn to anything involving dance and movement, I auditioned and performed with a Disney Showcase Troupe. By high school, I was choreographing for the Show Choir, as well as performing in theatrical productions, including the musical “The Wizard of Oz”. 

Before graduating with my Bachelor’s degree in Theatre & Dance from Chapman University in Orange, California, I continued my study of various dance styles & techniques such as: Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Modern, Hip Hop, Ballroom, Dunham Technique, yoga/stretch, Dance Business & History. From 1996-2001 I performed a variety of dancing and singing roles in showcases and events such as “American Celebration” and “The Story of Rock n’ Roll”. While studying at Chapman, I accepted a position as historian, and eventually, vice president of the performing arts society (PASC). 

When I wasn’t onstage, I could be found backstage working lights, sound, costuming,  or stage management. I searched out other educational opportunities at Cypress College and the Taggart International School where I studied West African dance and Russian Ballet Technique. After performing a liturgical dance performance for my graduation ceremony, I toured the United States and a portion of Canada, researching dance around the world. This eventually led me to Jacmel, Haiti, where I studied cultural and social dances of the local people. After that I took up Bellydance and studied folk dancing in Chicago, Illinois. 

Since 2001, I have taught classes for all ages from infants to adults. I have also studied child development and have a special love for bringing an adoration of the arts to the youngest artists in our communities. It is imperative that all my  teachings highlight body positivity and the belief that everyone can dance. A life-long learner and dance aficionado, I continue my dance studies in Ballroom, Baroque Dance, and Scottish Country Dance. My influences include Isadora Duncan, Katherine Dunham, Misty Copeland, & Sean Greene. 

and Hello Artists: we are also learning the basics of face painting for fun, parties and festivals. Face & body painting can add flair to your dancing as well, creating more depth to your costuming and stage presence. Or just learn it because its fun!

Katrina has been giving me online instruction for a while now. She has taught a newbie like me how to apply lashes, how to contour with the pálleles I already have, what makeup I should be using for my skin type, and most importantly she has content that lists her preferred makeup, her favorite techniques, and skin care routines. Oh and she is also hilarious which helps when it’s time to put on blush and highlight. 

Love love love ❤️ 
Personable, very skillful and passionate. 
The absolute BEST!

Katrina and I discussed technique, contouring, and the best colors for my skin tone at an in-depth length.  Not only is she super insightful on all things make-up, she is friendly, honest and seems to always have something interesting or funny to say about any given topic. She can show you how to best use your own make-up and tools, but also provide a complementary list of recommended products at different price points to help you achieve the look you desire. I agree with everything she stands for as a MUA and entrepreneur. Book an appointment with Katrina today! 

During your lesson with me, I will not only focus on the practical aspects of makeup, but I’ll also focus on the “why?” behind it. I will make sure you know your skin type, undertones, and what techniques best suit your facial structure. I provide a level of detail that you won’t find elsewhere. 

The classes are completely customizable to what and how you want to learn. You can follow along with your makeup, watch me and take notes, or we can go through your kit to give insight on products you have and assess what you can add or remove based on your makeup goals.

Hello! My name is Katrina, I am a licensed esthetician and certified makeup artist of seven years. My goal as a teacher is to make people understand that makeup artistry is not only beautiful but fun, creative, and one of the most fun ways to express yourself! I have absolutely loved this craft since I was a young girl and I’d see my aunt and her friends putting on makeup, and playing in her lip liner after she would leave out. I finally had the opportunity to really dive into it after I graduated high school and decided to pursue my esthetician license.

Growing up I had always been told I explain things very well and would make a great teacher, but I never knew what I would ever love enough to teach. While in beauty school and still a novice, I still had the capacity and charisma to share what little I did know with the girls around me, soon after acquiring my license I began going live on social media. It became popular with my friends list and they urged me to do a class, so I began hosting independent makeup classes. While promoting classes I caught the interest of someone who worked for the College of Southern Nevada and they hired me as a makeup instructor for their development and enrichment part time classes. 

During my time their I honed my teaching skills and expanded my knowledge on what it is to be a teacher and on makeup artistry. I was ecstatic to be teaching the thing I loved most, makeup is my passion and it shows in everything I do. I am currently growing my brand on social media and have gained PR with smaller brands. My goal as your teacher is to make doing your makeup as easy and effortless as brushing your teeth in the morning. What I enjoyed as a makeup artist is seeing a client so happy with how they look after I would finish their face. What I love even more as a teacher is seeing my students face when they finally understand a technique and can finally do it for themselves.

My twelve year-old son has been taking lessons with Karen for two years. She has taught him beginning ukulele, guitar, and voice. Karen's love for music is evident and she is always encouraging to my son. She has him study music theory as well. She is understanding and works well with children. We study with her in person, but have done online lessons when we're not able to make it to in person lessons. She always has a positive attitude and a smile!

I teach females correct and enhancing makeup techniques according to clients skin tone, facial shape, and facial features. I use the Seasonal Color Analysis approach to determine what skin tone the client is, either cool or warm. I have an extensive beauty field background. Early in my adulthood, I became a licensed cosmetologist in Minnesota. I have also been active as a Beauty Consultant almost all of my adult years with two different cosmetic companies. I love working with women and encouraging them to look and feel their very best, which boosts their self-esteem and self-confidence.

Karen R. was born and raised in a musical family in Lindstrom, Minnesota. Karen has loved to sing and play instruments almost all of her life, and became passionate about music early in her childhood. She has played 7 instruments proficiently including piano, bass guitar, acoustic guitar, ukulele, trombone, recorder, and voice (also an instrument). As a child, Karen took private instruction in piano and classical guitar. She sang and played guitar in her first band in the fifth grade! In high school she played trombone in band, bass guitar in stage band, and sang in the high school choir and stage chorus. In high school, she also sang and played acoustic and bass guitar in a rock band called the 6 pack, who performed for school dances and community events. Karen was also the singer and guitarist, leading the Young Life group. Even though Karen has had training in many instruments, she has had the most training in voice.

As an adult, Karen has sung extensively in church choirs, women's ensembles, and has been a featured vocal soloist at church services, Christian retreats, and women's ministry events. She was extensively involved in vocal music at Grace Community Christian Church, where she was the singer and guitarist leading and teaching songs to women Bible study groups, preschoolers at vacation Bible school, and Kids Praise Club for elementary aged children. For Kids Praise Club, she also taught the children the choreography for the performances. Presently, Karen is a Choir Director for the K-12 Pure Praise Voices group at First Presbyterian Church (FPC) in Mesa, AZ., and has also taught singing and choreography to the children at VBS at FPC. Karen also had a main roles as Mrs. Paroo in The Music Man in April of 2013, and Mrs. Bucket in Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory in April, 2014, The Jailer's Daughter in Wind in the Willows, and Mrs. Brill in Mary Poppins, Mrs. Darling and a Pirate in Peter Pan, and Madame Darque in Beauty and the Beast performed by the First Players at FPC. Additionally. Karen is presently a substitute elementary school and music teacher at Grace Christian Academy, and also subbed at Bethany Christian School, and taught General Music K-12 at Young Disciples Christian Academy part-time from 2013-2019.

At MCC, she performed in the Sun Valley Chorale (SVC) and Cadence women vocal jazz ensemble. SVC performed classical songs at the Mesa Arts Center, and Cadence performed jazz songs for MCC events. Karen was also involved in musical theater at MCC. Karen was an opera singer at Night at the Opera, and a Broadway singer at Broadway Bound, both at MCC. At GCU, Karen has been in the President Singers, Canyon Singers, Canyon Chorale, and Union Choirs. Canyon Singers were the honor students and ambassadors for GCU who traveled locally and out of state to recruit students for GCU.

Music is Karens passion and she desires to teach it to all ages and stages of people. Music is the universal language and creates joy and healing in the soul.

Presently, Karen owns her own music studio called Starshine School of Music in which she teaches piano, voice, and guitar. She teaches on Zoom/Messenger, at her church studio, or at the students' homes (with a gas fee if a distance away).  Karen also teaches Take Lessons music students (an online music student placement company) piano, voice, and guitar at these locations. Karen is also an active Mary Kay Consultant.

*** Lesson Details ***
Karen's teaching style is very patient, nurturing, encouraging, and fun-loving. Karen is a teacher who sets loving but firm boundaries and guidelines. She implements structure and organization, but is not overly strict and harsh. She believes in encouraging, loving, and imparting knowledge with her students so that they will maximize their potentiality and their inner musical stars will shine.
Karen teaches piano, voice, guitar, and music theory for beginning through intermediate (for voice she teaches beginning through advanced). The curriculum that Karen uses is varied according to the student's personality and learning level. She uses her vast knowledge and information from her education and past experiences, and also Alfred Essentials of Music Theory, Alfred's Instructional books, Hal Leonard Pro-vocal Series, Bastian's New Traditions for Piano for all levels, and other resources. She also uses an assignment lesson plan book so that each student will know her clear objectives, what is expected of them and so that communication is established with the student's parents if the student is under 18. Additionally, Karen uses incentives, a point system, and rewards for self-discipline, consistent practicing, musical accomplishment and growth, and a good attitude.

Karen's students learn and perform remarkably well because of her very loving, organized, and comprehensive teaching style. They progress in amazing ways on a weekly and monthly basis. They look forward to coming to their lessons because they are treated with such respect and care. They know that Karen has such a passion and love for music, which is so contagious and is passed on to them. Therefore, these music lessons are enjoyable and enriching  for the teacher and student alike.

Karen has a Starshine School of Music Contract for the parents/students to have to know her mission statement, expectations, guidelines and bio. Karen has month-to-month contracts and music tuition is due for the following month on the student's last lesson day of the prior month.

*** I have a current Fingerprint Clearance Card


*** Studio Equipment ***
Guitars, baby grand piano, CD players, extensive music literature, some demo and karaoke CD's.

*** Specialties ***
I have been classically trained as a voice major at college level. However, I have had so much musical experience (singing, and playing guitar and piano) in varied genres including rock and roll, Broadway and theatrical music, country western, Christian contemporary, folk songs, and children's music. I am very familiar with all kinds of music.

Sabrina made sure that I fully understood the concepts and made it easy to follow along !

Sabrina is a pleasure to have as an instructor. She is very encouraging, highly energetic, and loves what she does. I'm happy she is able to do something she loves this much for 20 years so we have the chance to learn from her. Thank you <3

Sabrina is a lovely lady. She took her time explaining everything she does and why. Can't wait for my next lesson.

**Important** ...This is a HAPPY learning space for beginners only!! :-)

Why learn makeup application from me? First, you’ll find that it’s exciting to learn beauty skills from someone who LOVES makeup & skincare just as much as you do (yes! I really love it!). Second, I break down lessons and demonstrations into easy bite-size nuggets of information.

We will go over different techniques over and over until it is perfected and you feel comfortable with your level of knowledge and precision. And last, but not least, we will have fun throughout the whole process. I don’t believe in stuffy, teaching, or boring talks. We will enjoy this process and have you looking like a makeup application professional in no time! :-)

I have studied at Vizio make up Academy, served as a make up counter professional for major malls, served as an ambassador for major skincare & makeup companies such as Estée Lauder, Clinique, Bobby Brown, and Mary Kay. I have held skin care and make up classes at the homes of my clients. If you’re looking for a make up and skin care professional who loves what they do, I’m definitely the professional to book, and will help you throughout your journey.

Randy is awesome! He explains everything very well. I enjoyed very much the lesson.

Randy is so knowledgeable and great. I had no confidence in my make up abilities. Now  I know how to create a perfect look. He is so friendly and fun.

I also have my own business, focusing on weddings and photo shoots. I’ll educate you on how to best take care of your skin, what products to use and which brushes to apply with. Whether your concern is how to deal with breakouts or helping with anti-aging, you’ll be prepared with the tools and technique to confidently apply makeup to create the most natural and flattering results.

It was great getting to work with Dionné on makeup and a skin care routine! It’s obvious that she knows what she’s doing and she’s able to teach in an easy to understand way for a beginner like me - even virtually. Before meeting, she introduced me to some great products for a morning and nighttime skin care routine that was both easy and affordable. I would highly recommend Dionné for anyone who loves and wants to learn more about doing makeup!

Dionne is an exceptional teacher, she is very polite, patient and understanding. She taught a group makeup class at my job and everyone at the office talked about how much they learned and how detailed and thorough she was as an instructor. I booked her for a class with my teenage daughter and two of her friends, now all they wanna do is put on on makeup!

She was amazing and my daughter loved her.  It really helped boost her confidence and gave her the next step towards adulthood.  Meeting her 2 year old son Blair at the end was an added bonus.  Thank you Jasmine for helping my daughter, blessings to you and your wonderful family

For clients who wear minimal makeup, I enjoy teaching how minimal makeup can give you a bold, yet refined look. A look that will draw emphasis to your best features.

Hello!

My name is Dionne Ford, I work as a licensed esthetician, professional makeup artist and beauty instructor. My passion for beauty and helping others is absolutely everything to me. I enjoy teaching women how to achieve a clean everyday makeup look that requires minimal makeup but gives maximum results! A look that is not overwhelming but soft and subtle that diminishes any skin ailments and draws attention to your best features. Your perfect face-forward look that gives you confidence daily. Professional makeup for the day that you can play up for night-time activities. 

Most importantly making sure you have the correct skincare routine for day & night. Educating you on what each product does for your skin and why it’s important. Purchasing makeup and skincare products are an investment in you self care as well as your career. When you look your best, you feel your best and produce your best results!

Bypass waiting for an associate in-store, and experience private, professional, and uninterrupted attention for up to an hour to review your concerns. Whether you desire a detailed instructional for a feature focus, e.g. effortless skincare, flawless complexion, eye looks, highlight & contour, or are seeking the best recommendations and techniques for your daily skincare and beauty practice, I can help you achieve your desired results. What's even better is I will offer you a product list on a sliding scale between budget-friendly and luxury, making your next visit to your favorite beauty retailer a seamless experience.

I am a beauty educator with an extensive presence in the beauty space. Over the past decade, my hands-on experience spans from working as a key makeup artist for musicians featured in Fader and Rolling Stone and doing makeup for one of the lead actresses in the Tony-nominated play, Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical, to runway and photography. In the retail space, I honed my artistry and interpersonal skills by being selected for off-site elevated mastery artistry classes that lasted days at a time and facilitating classes to teach everyday beauties about product knowledge and makeup application. 
As a breast cancer survivor, I offer these classes to individuals impacted by cancer for free. I know firsthand the impact chemotherapy has and how to modify routines to accommodate the "new normals". 
Whatever your beauty needs are, I look forward to bringing out the best in you, with you.
