However, they can never truly replace professional training! Learning makeup through social media will <a href=\"\/2018\/06\/why-youtube-tutorials-arent-the-same-as-makeup-classes-online\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">never be the same<\/a> as learning proper practice from industry-trained experts.\n\nRemember: when you learn makeup from influencers, you are only learning how to copy a\u00a0<em>style<\/em>. Style is not the same as\u00a0<em>technique<\/em>. Knowing only style will forever limit you to being a trend-follower.\n\nTechniques, on the other hand, are the foundations you need to learn in order to be able to create different makeup styles. Technique will arm you with all the skills needed to be able to transcend, get creative, and become a trend-<em>setter.<\/em>\n\nYou need one in order to be able to master the other &#8211; but ALWAYS in this order.
