Velvet's Tribute to the Oscars (Picture Heavy!!)

Velvet's Tribute to the Oscars is on its 2nd year. If you remember Diether Ocampo being turned into the Godfather last year, that was it! Part of our Makeup Class are OJT's and apprenticeships under one of the best Makeup Artists in the country, RB Chanco. We got to go to various editorial, billboard and other ad campaign shoots. One of the best ojt's ive had was the Oscars shoot. It was so much fun seeing everything all come together. I feel very honored and proud to have been somewhat a part of it.

After a few weeks, we went to Velvet's Event "Tribute to the Oscars" to support our Wonderful and Super beautiful Makeup Mentor, RB Chanco. Rb did the Makeup for Casablanca, West Side Story and Pulp Fiction. Casablanca won first prize in the competition! She also won Best Makeup/ Best Transformation for Casblanca. And Zanjoe won the bagay na bagay award (In Character Award) for Pulp Fiction!

This one is my favorite! =)

Artistic Makeup #4: 4 Color theme/Semi Smokey

To make up for the classes we missed because of some electrical issues at the building where LCI is located, we had back to back classes last weekend. For Saturday, we learned how to do the 3 color theme and how to turn it into 4 color or semi smokey. I always try to ask people who are interested in makeup to be my model for class, so we both benefit from it hehe. So for Saturday, I asked Fatima from http://kikayfetz.blogspot.com if she could come.

Fetz and I went to the same college, both graduated from nursing, are both Licensed Nurses and Makeup Junkies! haha. I was so glad that she was able to come and see what its like to be in Makeup School. =) As always, before our class starts we prep our models and do the makeup we learned from the previous class.

So here's Fetz while I was mixing foundations to match her skin =)




BEFORE and AFTER
(prime look)

Fetz has really great skin, apart from some redness and a few dry patches her skin is amazing! No need for concealer and just a small amount of foundation to neutralize the redness.



Oddly, I dont have a picture of Fetz (apart from this cropped pic)
when we turned the prime look to corrective eye makeup/4 color theme.

On Sunday, we were asked to prep our models and do the Semi Smokey or 4 color theme. I used a quad from Revlon that i've been neglecting and it looked really pretty on my model, Iyz! The colors on the quad are more on the wine/plum shade.

BEFORE and AFTER
(4 Color theme/ Semi Smokey)

Iyz also has great skin and didnt need a whole lot of coverage just a small amount of foundation to even out the skin tone. I had a bit of trouble with making the eyebrows look even. I had to choose one eyebrow to follow and thank goodness I got it to look more evened out since I didnt really want to shave a whole lot of her eyebrows haha.




Smile Iyz!! hehe doesnt she look like a doll? =)

I'll try to post about the latter part of Sundays class tomorrow which is Male Makeup and Smokey Look. But officially, sunday was our last class! Boo! :/ I'm going to miss going to school and playing Makeup Artist at our stations and OJT's.

On Thursday, will be attending "Tribute to THE OSCARS" (link is from last years' event. And more pictures from last years event HERE) to support our wonderful and beautiful Makeup Guru, RB Chanco. I cant wait to see how the pictures turned out, since I also helped out a bit with one of the models makeup for one of the shoots. So if YOU'RE going, please help support and vote for RB Chanco! mwehehe.

I can't post about that particular shoot I went to yet until after the event, sooo stay tuned! =)
