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)

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 :)

Make Up School :)

YAY! finally I've enrolled in a make up school~
Jo barba Make Up School and Studio! yay!

In case you don't know Jo Barba, She is a pioneer in the make up industry in the Wedding Category. She is also a make up artist to the stars. She's even considered as an Honorary Member at UMAP (United Make-Up Artists of  the Philippines).

Ms. Jo. No. she's not the blonde girl :)

My school is not so popular yet, because we are the first students of their program. It was only opened this February 2013.

I chose this school because of these reasons:
1.) it is near our house
2.) teachers came from the original MAQUILLAGE PROFESSIONEL w/c formerly is handled by Make up forever. (MUFE already closed down here in the Philippines, and their supported school maquillage is not anymore connected to MUFE, well that's what I heard)
3.) make up is provided by the school (we use cinema secrets)
4.) we have 2 teachers alternating to teach us, they both work with big stars on screen so they are giving us their trade secrets <3
5.)  It's has the smallest student-teacher ratio 1 teacher, 5 students
6.)  IT IS NEAR OUR HOUSE!! (I really can't believe it)

It's located in the heart of Quezon City, near the original PARES house in SN Amoranto or RETIRO

I enrolled for a Module 1 course. This course is for those who wants to be a Make Up Artist and do it as a career in the future.

It is actually for 12 sessions, but compress to 6 sessions (meaning we have 2 topics to cover per session)

yey make up and my classmates

As of now, I'm in the 4th session, meaning that I've already tackled 8 topics.
Tuition already includes make-up (MUFE style). So we only have to bring our brushes (luckily I have plenty!)

I'll post a different blog on my before and afters :)
But I'll post pics of the school so you guys can get an idea  :D

 It's very nice and clean!  upstairs is the school

outside ( the ube/leche flan is also yummy, if you wanna try) 

I know the question in your mind will be natuto ka ba? (did you learn anything)
I can say I'm only at the 4th session on my course and I already feel satisfied, I've learned a lot. Before what I did with make-up was chamba-chamba lang (my own discretion of what I know) . Now I'm much more confident with what I do for my clients. To put into perspective, pak na pak na ang funda! at kaya kong ng kumabog ng eyeshadow. haha! 

ok post ko na yung DAY 1 and 2 ko...

my day 1 was a so-so, but my day 2 was much better :D

more before and afters to come, so stay tune for my blogs!
