POWDER STATION SCHOOL'S CLASSES STRICTLY COSMETIC.


Byline: Alex Dobuzinskis Staff Writer

BURBANK - The gaping gash on Soraya Khalil's face created for a class project at a Burbank makeup school would look more realistic on the big screen than in person, but for an officer in a passing patrol car, it was cause for concern.

Khalil, 27, was standing on Olive Avenue near the Make-Up Designory, waiting to cross the street, when an officer pulled up.

``He just said, 'Are you all right? Could I get you any assistance? And do you need anything?' And I had to explain, no, I'm from MUD,'' Khalil said.

``Usually they end up on the patio. They like to be outside there because they're cooped up all day,'' Baker said.

About 700 students, mostly young women, pass through the school every year, said Tate Holland, the president of MUD. Students pay anywhere from $6,000 to $10,000 to complete their training, which usually lasts six months.

Among the 35 employees at the school is instructor Myles O'Reilly, 35, who on Friday evaluated the job his students did creating characters for their final projects.

Working in front of mirrors recently in O'Reilly's class were students creating such characters as a mermaid hit by a speedboat, a victim of a plastic surgery gone wrong and a clown who was injured while juggling knives and a bowling pin.

``For me, when I get a student who understands what I teach them and then even does something better than I do, that's what it is for me'' that is rewarding, said O'Reilly, who has a giant tattoo of a phoenix on his forearm.

 prowled the school's hallway as other students took a break from the mirrors and the intense lights of the classes to hang out in front of the parking lot at the school's rear entrance.

The Burbank Redevelopment Agency provided ample parking for the school, which was one of the reasons it moved to Burbank from Toluca Lake four years ago, Holland said.

``It's something that she feels will help her get a job,'' Workman said.
