Blog Post 1 - Introduction

Hi, my name is Grace, and the purpose of this blog is to update my progress on my Genius Hour Project. For my project, I am going to be sharing makeup tutorials using cheaper, drug-store products. I want to provide an effective way for people to do their makeup without having to spend hundreds and hundreds of dollars. 

When I was first coming up with my Genius Hour idea, I asked myself, How can I provide a great makeup look without using expensive products and tools? This was what started my idea, and drove me toward this project idea. 

I will be trying out different products and providing makeup looks that I think are the best, at an affordable price. I already have a lot of great products that I want to use, and I'm excited to get started. Hopefully I will not only be teaching others, but I will learn a lot myself. 

My inspiration for doing this project, is that I've always had an interest for makeup and cosmetology, and I want to be a cosmetologist when I grow up. I really want to learn more myself on this topic, while sharing my knowledge with others.

The steps I will need to take to begin my project include:

• Getting products and trying them out to determine what the best ones are
• Research and learn as much as I can about how to properly apply the makeup look I am trying to teach
• Determining looks that I want to teach others
• Set up a blog/website to post my tutorials on
• Begin creating tutorials 

I hope to have my first tutorial ready by December or January, and then post 2-3 times a month.
