To start my journey on developing this new product idea. I
decided to sign up for a makeup course. I have the idea for
makeup storage but I do not know anything about makeup. I
live in New York – so there are many schools to choose from.
I did my research and choose the Glam Academy by Alexa Prisco
in Hoboken New Jersey. I only really knew of her by
watching Jerseylicious and the the title=”Glam Fairy” href=

target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow”>Glam Fairy reality show
(Yes I admit it I watch reality TV, Housewives are my
favorite)

I was weary about choosing a school only by great work on a
reality show (that is edited by producers) but what
really sold me on the school was her u tube video…………….where
she explains how she gets down and dirty with makeup
knowledge, application and business sense. A lot of other
schools waste a lot of time on hair, cleaning habits and
being a model for the other students………… I was looking to get
down and dirty.

Alexa explains the academy

Well I started my first day – After 10 minutes of meeting
Alexa you kinda forget she is a famous reality star. She is
so likable and down to earth. And for those who watched the
earlier episodes of Jerseylicious – She is actually really
nice! . After listening to her for a couple of hours on day
one I knew I choose the right school for me. WOW, that girl
has some knowledge. She is a walking Google, not only on
makeup but just pure facts on any subject. After two days of
the chemistry and basics of makeup design, we get to work on
a live model and produce our first look. I was so nervous, I
have never put makeup on another person besides myself
before. I understood all the techniques intellectually but
physically doing it was a different thing.

The task was Bridal makeup following Alexa’s demo. Here re my
results………..Laura was a beautiful and patient model.

I say not too bad for the first time…………..Can’t wait for next
week.
