I had fun times last week! My two neighbours were having their cosmetology training session and they asked me to be their model for 4 days. They work in the same beauty product outlet and spa, which is of Martha Tilaar brand.
At first, it's like a normal beauty workshop (the teachers came from Indonesia just for this training session!). They were explained some stuffs about skin layers, types of skin and colours in makeup that suit to skin tones... Basically from the beginning, knowledge that all beauty bloggers can also explain! And most important, working in the Martha Tilaar outlets and spa, they need to know the whole products from A - Z, the names, the benefits of the products for skin and working etiquettes when dealing with the customers.
What differs this from a normal beauty workshop was, it's not just about the explanation and simple demo, but all of the trainees must going through the practical session. Sounds more like apprentices, rather than just trainees, right?
Since the training place was a bit inconvenient, so they only focus on face for the facial treatments and makeup application techniques. That's why they need real models for practicing.
It was not just about the basic facial regime (you know, the facial steps from cleansing to moisturise), but they were also taught about facial massages. Wow, I never know this before! There are actually variations of movements on how to massage a face, either with bare hands or with hot stones. Yeap, stones. Have you heard about hot stone massage?
For 4 consecutive days, the training took place from 9 in the morning to 4 in the afternoon. Quite tiring, yes? But everything was worth it! I was impressed, because they didn't just trained and practicing the skills, but in the last days of the training, they actually had tests about everything they learned, both theory and practical. They were taught in a REAL beauty school style! The teachers looked at the overall performance and professionalism of the trainees when they gave facial treatment and applied the cosmetics. That's how they being judged in the test.
Okay... I don't want to blurb more, so let me just upload the gallery from the training session:

They specially use smoothed black basalt stones for this type of massage, with the stones heated or chilled before hand. This type of stone can detoxify your body and relaxes your muscles (depends on which body part you want the stones to be placed).
