This fashionable tendency is indeed even more and more popular when summer comes, particularly for individual needs.

At 5:30 in the evening, make-up artist Hong Thuong (Thanh Xuan district, HaNoi) has just come back home where she has been teaching two ladies to put make-up on.
These new-comers, Phuc and Huong, who have just graduated from the Pedagogic University acknowledge, “Now, having free time after graduation, we want to learn to use make-up so that we can save our time.”
“Young people register for make-up courses by the masses in the summer. They may learn either at my house or their home,” said artist Hong Thuong.
Passionately desiring to improve their beauty, some even spend their whole weekends training.
The tuitions vary from 350,000 to 500,000 VND each course. Trainees are provided with all the cosmetics necessary for practicing.
Another make-up trainer, Huyen Trang (Hai Ba Trung district, Ha Noi) said that the majority of her class are girls of the 9X generation. “While aging woman enjoy elegant styles and often stop at basic courses, the teenagers love sophisticated styles and keep improving their skills to advanced levels,” Trang said. Younger women are likely to be more gifted in this aspect.
“I was so awkward the first day and my shirt was so blurry because of the foundation cream. After practicing harder at home and some experimental efforts on my friend’s face, I feel much better,” one trainee said.
The most common reason for girls to learn how to use make-up is to be more beautiful, particularly for special occasions such as birthday parties or prom. They seem to be more confident in communication. One young lady even shared, “I can’t go out without wearing make-up, no way.”
Male trainees learn to be professional artists while the rest gain the knowledge for themselves.
However, experts keep warning of the consequences of cosmetic abuse because both make-up and nutritional regiments should be taken seriously or they could damage your skin.
