Hurray!

For someone very new to the industry, I feel immensely blessed. I am literally living a dream and often wonder how I have stumbled to where I am now. One things for sure, I am blessed with such wonderful people in my life. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Thank YOU and you and you and you! haha. What I have achieved would not have been possible without the help of someone very dear to my heart (very dramatic!) If you get to read this, you know who you are! :)

If you can remember, posted THIS a few months back. And here it is, its finally out! Officially my first work on an actual magazine! haha wee!

Hope you all had a great weekend! And heres something to keep your
new-week perspective positive =)

DLSU -CSB Fashion Show

A few weeks ago, I was invited by a friend to do the Makeup for DLSU-CSB's Graduation Fashion Show, Newsflash: Fashion Wars. it was held at the School of Design and Arts Museum of Contemporary Arts and Design. I was there, with fellow blogger and lifelong friend, Caby. It was so much fun and met a couple of other Makeup Artists as well.

Here are some photos from the show:

I'm so behind with all my posts, I promise to get back in track this month haha. Tis has been a very productive month for me, I hope things keep on getting better and better. Will try to post another entry this week but we'll see..haha. Ill try to squeeze in a post or two. Have a great week everyone!

Green and Yellow EOTD

After a million years...an update. Sorry ive been MIA for such a long time. Been pretty busy the last few days. Anyway, as promised here is an updated version of MY VERY FIRST EOTD

My lovely Model: Caby

It took me quite a while to redo this, I tried to do it on myself and used Coastal Scents. But after one year, I realized that im not too happy with Coastal Scents Eye Shadows. They faded before I got out of my room, so needless to say I just removed the makeup and didnt post it.


A few weeks ago, I was over at Caby's and she asked me to do her makeup. I thought it would be perfect to try and recreate the look again this time using MAC Chrome Yellow, Eye popping, Carbon and a few of the green e/s from her 180 palette and this is what I came up with!

VS.

A lot better, yeah? hehe I hope you think so too! lol

Finals/Portfolio: Semi Smoky

Hello, posting another one of the looks I did for my finals/portfolio. I love semi-smokey because this is what I do on myself often. hehe even my friend, Caby, commented that this looks exactly how I do my own makeup.


The challenge for this look during our finals was how we could make the golds or bronzes stand out more. I already knew what I was going to do, before finding out we needed to use gold/bronze. So I just adjusted it a bit and thank goodness I had planned on using gold and pink for the eyes haha.

My lovely model Jess! We've known each other since we were kids and went to the same college too =)

For the eyes, I used a quad from 4u2 that I fell in love with! I will post a review on it soon, I promise! But overall, I like their eye shadows, good color payoff and very minimal fallout. I used mostly just that quad except for MAC Charcoal brown for the hollows of the crease and Embark for the outer corner.

Hope everyone is having a great week! =)
