On guard for Avant Garde/day 11

I love doing this looks because it inspires me to be creative with my work. High fashion make up is very difficult because it requires a lot of creative problem solving in the process.


I recently did a make up look inspired by Dior's runway look 2011

and here is the peg given by the head MUA

i love the colors!

here is what I did on myself

me with a sore jaw ( had my wisdom tooth extracted)

I combined the two looks the teacher taught us
evantrail and audibiche (sounds so fashionable)

Make up school day9 and day10

It's my 5th session in make up school and so far I think i'm getting a hang of it doing a much cleaner make up YAY! My model for this session is Carmie. She modeled for me before, (I think it was the first gig) but i didn't do a great job on her (because apparently it was my first time) but now I took her again as a model to see if I've improved ever since that shoot :)

I've also used cinema secrets cream foundation it really is GOOD(it's my second time to use it, the 1st one was a fail) . It's creamy and light to wear (well that's accdg to carmie) I buffed the foundation using a brush  because she doesn't have a lot of blemishes :)

our topics was
day 9: smokey eyes
day 10: make up for HD cam

this was the shoot before- yes she had an undercut- ( see how bad it is.. i didn't cover the undereye area ahhh!)
dated sept of 2011

this is now ( dated april 2013) 

smokey eyes up close :) ( did a bluish black  smokey eyes) 

make up for HD (upclose) 

make up being check by my teacher

watchathink?? did I go well?

I've really learned a lot esp. doing the eyebrows ( I love doing eyebrows now) and I feel a lot confident doing make-up to other people.

well see you again to my next make up adventure :)

~ Benefit POREfesionally ( Porefessional, erase paste, girl meets pearl) (GIFT yay!)
~ Marionaud eye brow brush (GIFT again yay!)
~ Laura Mercier creme tinted moisturizer (GIFT again yay!) 

~ Maybeline Eye Studio cream shadow in rose revolution (300php)

~ revlon photoready blush in 004 berry (500php, not sure tho)

~ Sleek I-divine palette - Oh so special (650php) 

~ Milani eyebrow kit(300+ php, not sure)  

First Thoughts:

Art deco eyeshadows  I really love the texture of it, satiny smooth <3, it stays well (but not enough) , but I think it is better off with a primer. 

make up spatula and mixing palette- I really wanted a make up forever or a tin/steel palette but the advantage of this palette (acylic plastic) is I can readily see the foundation color I'm mixing for a client :) 

benefit Porefesionally kit- I've already owned a benifit product before so i can say that the porefesional works like magic <3, im excited to try 2 of the products that comes with it.

Marionaud eyebrow brush- my fried marie tells me that it is a really nice brush for separating lashes from masscara clumps. Imma try it in my next class.

Maybeline Eyestudio- Well this was an impluse buy (because of the rose gold color) , and I hope I wont regret buying it, it's a cream shadow but the weather here in the philippines is super hot, so creams are not really advisable for make up gigs ( it WILL crease) maybe I can use it as a base for an eye shadow, IDK.

revlon photo ready blush- well i have mixed emotions with this product, I will try to use it on other people on my gigs.

Sleek I-divine palette- this works like a gem, I really love this palette. the color selection are nice and pigmented <3

Milani eyebrow kit - this is ok for me. I can make this also as an eye shadow. 

that's it  see you again <3

Swimming Lessons YAY!

I've started to take swimming lessons(din!)

Me and my friend miggy are a total sinker sa pool. We are jealous of our friends who swim in deep waters (yikes!) Pag nasa beach kami palagi kaming left-out because we can't go that far sa water. Hindi namin ma enjoy ang beach and coral gardens. Kaya na realize namin maybe it's time to take lessons para na rin sa survival at pampayat na din hehehehe

nahihiya kami nung una nung pumasok kami kasi ang jologs namin, tapos yung BF homes parang mga senyora nakatira dun dahil ang laki ng mga bahay. nakakahiya rin kasi yung mga bata dun ( like 5 or 6 yrs old) marunong na mag butterfly swim (what?!)

"nakakahiya, yan ba magiging classmate namin?? huhuhu" - me

" baka hilahin ang shorts ko" - miggy

but it turns out ok lang pala kasi 2 lang kami ni miggy mag classmate. Which is good kasi 1 hr lang per day ang class, super tutok kami sa aral.

dito kami nag sswiming:
