Going Back to School Was Never This Beautiful
Alright, so it’s a beauty school. But knowing that I’d be applying everything I’ve learned right after class makes it a wonderful, enjoyable experience. I never really understood the practical application of Algebra, but I firmly believe that every woman should know how to apply eyeliner properly. In fact, one could argue that using the correct shade of foundation is almost as importanat as proper etiquette. Because no matter what your social status, good manners and a beautifully blended foundation will always guarantee a favorable impression.
Every woman certainly knows this. Studies have shown that most women carry an average of five tubes of lipstick in their purses, but only .001 percent of them carry a scientific calculator. Given these numbers, guess which gadget matters more to us?
And that’s why I enrolled in beauty school. If "beauty" had been a major in college, I would have chosen it among my top three. But this was not an option back then, when my parents defined "serious calling" as being limited to law, medicine and business. Artistic, vocational or experimental career paths were totally alien to them, and I might as well have dropped out of school and started growing weeds in our backyard had I opted for a career in "make-up."
After all, how can "playing" with hundreds of eye shadows, experimenting with different make-up brushes and shades of foundation prepare on for a lucrative career?
