Wow. Been updating more than usual huh?
It's Saturday. It's scary how the days go by and I should be studying/practicing for my Monday exam but all the stress that's been had toda has just really gotten to me. Right now I'm just letting my Korean dinner digest and writing up this entry.
Anyway, yesterday was awesome. Why?
It was my first time putting makeup on someone for a shoot.
I've done people's makeup, sure. My mom when she has events, my blockmates when we had a talent show, but this was different. I feel like there's nothing else to look at but the subject, you know? In an event there's a lot of other faces, no matter what. Talent show? Even more so. But a shoot? It's a moment captured and with a single subject, it's like make or break.
I spent a little of my Thursday afternoon after class helping my classmate pick out a foundation and the next day, I was prepping for the action. She told me to bring eyeshadow brushes when I asked her what she needed but I packed my CS 28 neutral palette just in case (I'm picky with shades and whatnot, plus we're on neutral because the theme was Mafia which meant it should be along the lines of pin-up 50's glam looks). Glad I did too! I really liked how it turned out and I might replicate the look on me and post closer shots here on my blog :) Without further ado here's an outtake from her shoot (shot by her sister, I believe, can't wait for the photographer's shots to come out! Stay tuned for that :D)
I've never applied foundation on anyone before and all. It was quite an experience but I think it really helped me not just with makeup but handling clients (like for OT actually) in the future. Being nervous, freaking out, I guess it's there in the beginning, but with practice, I know I can :)
My over-all objective then: let the eyes do the talking WITHOUT closing it up. I think I was able to achieve that :)
Wish I had:
- Brought my Too Faced Shadow Insurance
- Brought my CS 10 blush palette
- Brought my Sephora sculpting disk so I could've contoured a little around the hollows of her cheeks but more importantly around her nose just to give her more definition
I'm learning!
Still, pretty good for a first try, huh? :) I think she looks absolutely lovely :)
Well that's it for now.
'Til then,
Love muchness,
Ciao!
