There are two forms of make-up lessons for self-taught exams: recording and broadcasting. The advantage of recorded and broadcast courses is that you can watch and study repeatedly anytime and anywhere, while live courses can interact with teachers and classmates online. It is suggested that recording and broadcasting courses should be selected first, and it is faster to participate in the promotion of live broadcast courses after a certain foundation. Searching for recorded and played courses on the Internet is not easy. You can search for makeup course videos on platforms such as Taobao or Education, and choose products that provide guidance and professional courses, such as makeup self-study season courses of various colors. You can basically meet your own learning needs. Live courses can be found on open course websites, such as YY and other interactive platforms. Matters needing attention in study. Self-study makeup is not like taking part in field training, which requires perseverance. After all, learning is a painful thing. The reason why many people fail to participate in various self-study is that they can't persist until the end. Laziness is the terminator of success. Make-up self-study should actively participate in practice. After mastering certain theoretical knowledge, do it yourself, make friends by yourself, and practice repeatedly, and the skills will naturally improve. How long does it take to teach yourself makeup? The length of time will vary from person to person. Nature with high endowments has made rapid progress in learning, and makeup techniques are mainly in techniques. So I suggest you find a professional and formal recording and broadcasting course. Technology needs an adaptation time, and how long it takes depends on your own efforts. Generally speaking, the offline field training period is 2-3 months. If you teach yourself makeup, it is generally 1-6 months in theory, depending on how much makeup you want to learn, the difficulty of makeup, and your own learning ability. Can I learn makeup by myself? As long as you have confidence, the iron pestle is ground into a needle. There is nothing in the world that you can't learn by yourself. As long as you keep working hard, you will certainly learn. After all, makeup is not a difficult knowledge. It is much more difficult to teach yourself English and graphic design than to teach yourself makeup.
