There is a gesture of rebellion, almost teenage, in grabbing a scissors and encouraging to cut the bangs in front of the mirror. Or to be played by a super deep delineate or choose a vibrant enamel to fix the nails on any Tuesday. And in times when aesthetics often includes bounded monthly appointments in a living room, More and more people approach courses and tutorials to embellish themselves. Not only for a matter of economy or practicality, but for the pleasure of incorporating new tools, gaining autonomy and rediscovering the daily ritual of looking in the mirror as a moment of play, care and self -affirmation.
Make up, comb, massage your face or make your hands can be much more than a routine task: With the right guide, an experience of learning, creativity and connection with oneself can also become. Next, a tour of some of the most interesting proposals to learn to self -oke (and enjoy it in the process).
Technique and practicality
“Don’t do this, don’t use this, don’t make up like this.” Warnings and error lists abound in networks. But When someone sits in the Sol Marter studiothe spirit is another. “I always say that they are paint, not an open heart operation. The goal is to enjoy the moment, and if what returns the mirror you like more than before, then it is well done.” Thus of simple and decontracted is the philosophy behind its Automaquillage courseswhich have as its main mission to make peace with the make up and gain confidence to use it in favor, without fears or absolute rules.
Designed for women of all ages (from whom they make up to go to work to those who want to look good at a party or take advantage of products they have but never use), Marser’s workshops combine technique with enjoyment. It starts from what each student already has at home and only some strategic allies are added to enhance the result without spending a fortune. The focus is not to continue fashions but to learn to highlight the same: “Makeup can be a form of play, but also a shield, an armor. It is good to know how to use it well when we need it,” summarizes.
So great is the rise of self -conflicting, that Many celebrities go up to Tiktok and Instagram videos of their routines to teach tricks and shortcuts of a make up that anyone can apply. Some have their own brands (such as Araceli González and Zaira Nara) and others simply want to share their experiences from the consultations they receive, such as Emilia Mernes.
The hairstyle is also a very wanted learning. Therefore, Sol Marcer added to his makeup courses one that teaches from the correct use of mousse, spray and oils, to practical techniques to use the iron or bufflet without frustrating.
And for those who have bangs -and they know how fast it can go from perfect to annoying in just one week -a practical and fun solution is the Autocort Workshop that Ale Lamensa gives in his Palermo study. It lasts two hours, does not require previous experience and indicates that each participant leave the tools (theoretical and practical) necessary to maintain their own cut without depending on shifts every 20 days or one month.
“The idea is that they can do it alone at home, with the same scissors they would always use,” explains Lamensa. For that reason, everything is included less the scissors: the recommendation is to carry your own, so that learning is transferable to day to day. Women of different ages attend their classes, but also mothers and daughters who take advantage of the plan as an excuse to share something together. “Many come with the idea of learning to cut the bangs to their daughters, and they take a lot,” says the expert.
With a clear, practical and technical guide, the course offers a small domestic revolution: take control of your own bangs, lose your fear of scissors and win a useful, economical and replicable resource.
Cover letter
Nail care is not a minor detail. For many women it is part of the look, of the self -care routine and, in some cases, even of a small personal transformation. “The hands are a letter of presentation,” says Luna García, a manicurist and trainer with more than seven years of experience, which turned her own path of overcoming into inspiration for others, demonstrating that it is possible to generate a beauty venture from scratch. In his study he offers a variety of courses, from semi -permanent enamel and capping to acrylic, gel or polygel. Some are designed as work exit, others simply as a way of learning to take better care. “Many students arrive because they want to undertake, others for pleasure, and others because they enjoy the art of manicure as a form of expression,” he says.
Far from being only an aesthetic issue, what Garcia proposes in his classes is to acquire practical knowledge to avoid common errors (such as excessive file or incorrect use of materials) and achieve lasting results, without damaging the natural nail. Students arrive with different motivations, but with a common search: learn to take care of their hands correctly and safely, and do it with autonomy.
According to the specialist, the boom in recent years has a lot to do with social networks, which helped make this trade as an art form and also as an opportunity. Also, with a change of time: “I have listened to clients who consider it necessary to do the nails before going to work, since not caring for them can be interpreted as a general carelessness,” he explains.
Antiage care
The last gesture of self -care does not imply scissors or enamels, but time, connection and perseverance. In the facial self -driving workshops of Korean Roota welfare brand that offers beauty products such as Gua Shas (Lymphatic drainage stones), rollers and body brushes, the focus is in rediscovering the face from an integral view. “We are touring muscle muscle to learn the correct technique. It is important to have a guide, because if it is done wrong, the effect can be the opposite of the one we are looking for,” explains María Victoria Salado, founder.
The proposal is available in virtual format and can be made on demand, in the rhythm that each one chooses. Throughout five hours of content, a theoretical part is first developed (which addresses the anatomy of the face, facial muscles and their link with general well -being) and then a practice, in which the entire face, neck and cervical area are traveled step by step. The work includes the use of typically Asian tools, such as the Gua Sha, the roller, the fungi and the facial “cupping”, which help activate circulation, release tensions and improve the tone of the skin. These techniques, originated in traditional Chinese medicine and Korean rituals of facial care, were adopted globally as a more conscious form of beauty.
Although many cosmetologists incorporate it into its cabinets, the course is designed above all for household use. Interest has grown a lot, especially due to the antiage effect, but also because of how good this type of routines is incorporated as part of personal care. Beyond the visible results, what this practice proposes is a new link with the image itself, one less automatic and friendlier, in which time is dedicated to the process.
And perhaps this is about this movement to beautify itself. To reappropriate the body, time, desire. To convert care into an unrelegated act. And find – between brushes, scissors, massages or enamels – a possible form of more conscious, close and personal beauty. A beauty that does not respond to molds, but is built with what one has at hand: desire, curiosity and the desire to feel good.
