Make-up Fun Friday

As a beginner make-up artist, I have to ask friend’s help so that I can practice my skills. I need to do make up to different people with different types of skin and face shape. I will now share with you some of the pictures that was taken when 3 of my friends agreed to be my models…

My first model, Con-con. She’s one of those who loves to look good and wear make-up. Her skin’s a little dry but she said that she has some areas on her face that’s oily. So I decided to use a mattifier on her to even out her skin and serves as her make up base. Foundation wise, I have chosen a tone that’s close to her skin tone. Used a pink concealer under her eyes just to lighten it a bit, though she doesn’t really have dark circles. That day she’s wearing a purple blouse that’s why I decided to use pink and purple on her eyes. This will make her look younger, sweeter and girlier. I also put a blush that’s has a soft pink tone and a lipstick that’s matte salmon pink and some nude lip gloss

Next is Charm. She immediately told me that her problem when applying make-up. She has an Asian small eye but she has an eyelids (typical Asian eyes don’t have eyelids). But her lids are hidden which makes the make up not visible. So when she told me that, I immediately knew what to put into her eyes. She prefers a natural look but visible eye make-up.

So I started with a foundation lighter that what I used with Concon. She has a flawless normal skin that’s why I didn’t use any primer or mattifier anymore. To make the foundation last, I set it with loose powder. For her problem area, her eyes, I used a light gold eye shadow on her crease and bring it upward, but making sure that it will not reach her brow bone. For her hidden lids, I used a dark brown shadow and blending it a little over her crease. To give emphasize to her eyes, I put a black gel eyeliner in her upper lash line and dark brown shadow on her lower lash line. For her cheeks, I contoured it a little and used a light pink blush. For her lips, I put a natural caramel toffee color and top it up with a natural lip gloss.

Lastly, here’s Sophie, my all time model. I always play with her face, asking her to be my model. She always request for a natural look and dark colors is a no-no for her. Her skin is a combination, t-zone oily. But during this make p session, I didn’t use any oil control on her face but instead used a foundation that matches her skin tome and lock it with a darker pressed powder. She’s half Filipino and half Chinese, that’s why she has an Asian eye.
But like Charm, She also have eyelids but her’s is not hidden. So to give her the look that she wanted, I put cream matte eye shadow all over her eyes (from brow bone to upper lash line). Then for her crease, I used a medium brown eye shadow. Now to emphasize her lids, I used a dark brown eye shadow then line her upper lash line with black gel eyeliner. I contoured her cheeks and used a light pink blush. I also used the caramel toffee lipstick on her lips and put a little lip gloss in the middle of her lower and upper lip. This will give her lips a pop.

Last Friday was a very fun day. My models love their make up and I was so happy that I was able to give them the look that they wanted. We even plan to do another make up session. By the way, while applying their make up, I share with them some make-up and skin care tips.

So thank you ladies for being my models.I’m hoping next time that I’ll be able to find a male model, probably I’ll convince my hubby.
