[Michlib-l] Teen Special Effects Makeup Program

[Lorry Traver]

Good morning Cheyenne,

I am not sure if this will be helpful or not, but we found ourselves in the
same boat as you. After reaching out to a couple companies and finding
their pricing too high for our budget, we decided to offer a Halloween
makeup contest where our patrons can either work solo or form teams. We
will provide makeup but they can also bring their own if wanted, and we
will have a slide show going with photos of Halloween makeup ideas to help
with their inspiration.

As a prize for whoever wins the contest, we will put together a Halloween
themed basket.

Good luck on your program!

Also, as a side note, you might reach out to a neighborhood salon and see
if they would be able to offer something similar - they may charge
considerably less than other companies. Or, put out a request to patrons in
your community to see if anyone has a secret skill you are unaware of.
