its HALLOWEEN again!!

A peek at one of the looks I did for our finals/portfolio =)

My favorite Holiday is Halloween! I really go nuts about a month before and start thinking up ideas, I usually dont decide until the last few days but I really do love preparing for it and imagining what I would go as..hahah

Well, our Makeup Classes ended a week ago. I didnt think it was going to be stressful until BAM! it hit me, overwhelming stress. I dont think I did my best for my finals/portfolio. I was one of the last who finished, because I kind of crammed doing 5 of the 8 looks in one day.

We were asked to bring one male model, we thought we were just going to do regular Male grooming (which takes about 15-20 minutes) but surprise, surprise! We were shown a peg of a male model with a mask, and we had to do a look that inspired us of a mask.

I thought of doing an Oni mask. I just thought of a simple one, but the awesome boyfriend found a better inspiration:

This is what I was able to do with the limited time. I had about 2 hours to do it, thank goodness for Snazaroo! I used Snazaroo for this because I had limited time and didnt have a decent red eyeshadow to use. I had the suppliers contact number, didnt know that they changed suppliers so one day before I didnt know where to get them and didnt know what to do! Im glad Carla was able to spot them when she went around to look for things for her finals.

It isnt perfect, I see some lines that I wish I blended more. I wish I had been more careful with the black eyeliner because it was extremely difficult to correct the mistakes. It was also my first time to use Snazaroo, and didnt know it dried quickly. I placed the yellow on before blending, but by the time I got to blending some of the parts it was already dry and it was starting to flake off. But oh well, at least I learned something new!


I will be posting the other looks I did for our finals within the month, were going to be graded soon, so wish me luck!!


P.S.
I would like to thank Philip, for being awesome as always. He did a great job modelling for my finals, dont you think? He was also there on both days to help me out and make sure I didnt get too stressed out. =)
