Event Overview

Open to all human beings! This is a virtual offering. You'll need wifi and access to a device with a camera (phone, laptop, tablet, desktop). You will be visible to the hosts and other attendees to make conversation more conversation'y.

• Are you interested in using makeup more (or at all) but don’t know where to start?


• Do you get frustrated when you try to apply makeup and it doesn’t turn out the way you expect?


• Do you feel makeup might be fun or helpful but feel embarrassed or have conflicting feelings about participating in patriarchal appearance ideals?


• Does choosing, purchasing, and applying makeup seem overwhelming?


• Are you like, ‘WTF what are all these brushes for?’

Then I Can't: Put On Makeup is for you.

I Can't: Put On Makeup is part of Mac & Cheese Productions' I Can't series, where adults state they're unable to do something, they try it/learn about it with a bunch of other adults who also "can't," and everyone proves themselves wrong and not only does the thing, but enjoys it and says, "That wasn't so bad. In fact, kinda fun. Good for me! What's next?!" Past I Can'ts have included yoga, improv, draw, have a dog, financial planning, and buy a home.

Join us to learn no judgment, super-duper beginner makeup techniques and principles

• what certain tools and techniques do/are supposed to do


• why those tools and techniques are useful


• how to decide what to do


• how to use the tools and techniques to suit what you would like to accomplish

All people are different, so instruction includes broad and general beginner tips — the goal is for you to have more confidence and a basic framework which you can apply to yourself based on your individual style, personality, bone structure, skin texture, and budget. There are no one-size-fits-all solutions so engage that beautiful brain and apply what you’ll learn to accomplish what you want!
