Layout
Makeup FX is both a program and a tutorial. The bottom of Makeup FX is the program interface. The middle of Makeup FX, where the Table of Contents is found and the recipes and ideas will be displayed, is the tutorial. Program functions appear with icons under the line below the Table of Contents and these are: Back to Contents, Print, Index, Credits, Manual, and GIRLFIGHT. To the left of these program functions are the different backgrounds the tutorial can be changed.
