I am a makeup artist!

Sunday, 07 August 2011, for the first time I became a makeup artist / image stylist for Fiesta sa Bayan Danz in the City celebration. I am with my friends Francheska Gabilo, Rhea Barrios and Jesiree ‘Ate Dang’ Barredo.


Supposedly, I was one of the dancers for the said event. However due to the schedule conflicts with my work and some personal matters, I withdrew from it and decided to be their makeup artist. I am not really good in this field. I only started doing makeup on myself way back 2009 ( I guess ). 

I just started to feel like I have to start wearing makeup since I am working at a professional field. I bought set of makeup, from eye shadow, blush on, lipstick, powder to facial foams, toner and even sunscreen lotions. I practiced putting it on at home but washed them away afterwards. It was not perfect though but I manage to wear simple makeup at the office. My teammates noticed my change but supported me with this. One day, while surfing at the net, I remember one makeup guru from YouTube who has simple tutorials on how to apply makeup. I searched on her name and watch her tutorials from there. ( Up to now, I am still watching it as she is still actively updating her channel. I subscribed on her channel, too! ) Her name is Michelle Phan.

From then on, I am more inspired to keep myself beautiful. But there is still my limit. I don’t want my friends to identify me as pretty by using makeup. I was to stay as beautiful as I am with my natural beauty. :)

And now, I am applying all my learning from her tutorials. And being an event’s makeup artist is the first step. Last Sunday was my first time to apply makeup on other person’s face. At first I thought I might hurt them when brushing my color on or I might accidentally ruin their skin or eyes with my handling of mascara and eyeliners. Also, I was a bit nervous when I apply makeup on especially Bee Bee’s. ( Bee Bee is our district leader… J ) But at the end of the day, everything went fine. WE, THE SALEM SUB-DISTRICT, WON THE GRAND PRIZE!!!

All the effort pays off. We find new friends and everybody is happy. And thanks to them they find the makeup very artistic. Nyay!


Action!

Having fun.. :)

Notice my hand, full of makeup colors!

This is the final look!

My make up mentor

I am not a make up artist nor an expert in this field. I just learned my make up skills through this mentor I had – Michelle Phan. I found her while surfing on the net – YouTube to be exact. One day after submitting my home exam to our professor via email, I was just browsing and browsing on the net. There was nothing to search in particular. Then I browsed on YouTube and found her video. This video is entitled “Seductive Vampire”. I was so fascinated with her step by step tutorial and it was amazing. From then on, I followed her channel and watched all the videos on it everytime I find time. And now I am following her updates and new video posts for more tutorials. I even copied one of her make up styles during one of our events in church. Thanks to her because I can now put on make up well on my face and also be able to do on others. I can now even try on other styles on my own. Her video tutorials are very great. P.S. I am not her friend nor has any personal relationship with he...

Divorce is allowed?!?

Hi guys, need help here. I am browsing on the net and found an interesting topic about divorce and remarry. One thing that ruins my innocent mind is this: God Allows an Exception to the General Rule When One's Spouse Has Been Guilty of Fornication. This exception is clearly stated in Matthew 19:9 (and 5:32).   "Whosoever shall put away his wife, except for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery" ("saving for the cause of fornication" - Matt. 5:32).   The question originally asked Jesus concerned the grounds or cause for which a man may divorce his wife (v3). In v9 Jesus clearly says there is no acceptable cause except if ones companion has been guilty of fornication.   Unlike the Mosaic Law, which Jesus admits tolerated divorce and remarriage for other causes, Jesus' teaching allows one and only one cause.   Note that the only one who is granted the right to divorce and remarry without being guilty of sin is the one who has been sinned...

Monthly Ouch!!!

This topic may sound too 'Eww' for this blog but as of now, I am experiencing the most severe menstrual cramps of all my life – leg pain! From the very first day of my first mens years ago, I usually have menstrual cramps and it is back pain. It is almost every month and sometimes accompanied by headache and fatigue. But now, actually since last month, my cramp goes down to my legs plus headache! I sometimes cannot walk normally because of this and I easily gets tired than ever! My boyfriend sometimes gets irritated because I always find ways to have take seat while we are hanging out. I did some research through my best friend Google and read a lot articles about menstrual cramps on leg pain and most of its symptoms match with my experience. And the two main cause of it are DEHYDRATION and LACK OF IRON in the body. Oh well I guess it is now clear to me why I am experiencing these cramps every month. From now on, I will carefully watch my diet, making sure I have enough iron...
