2nd module of my make up class

My make up class’s second module already start 3 weeks ago. This time we study the evolution of the make up during different period of time.

The first lesson we study about the gothic period. It’s a dark and mystery period. The make up for that period of time also present the same thing. This is really the first time I use black color for other’s lip. I think this make up can use for Halloween as well.

 

The second class is about the Victoria period. It’s the period of time with really light make up that you barely able to notice.

I got back my last module assignment in this class, just got a pass for the assignment. For the next assignment, we need to choose a certain period of time and do some research for that period not only for the make up, better including some lifestyle, fashion, big events, fashion icon……The teacher told us the 80’s is most common that the student will pick for the topic and we need to do a make up related to the 80’s for our make up examination too. I better start to look for some information for that~!!

 

Having a break

Not writing a word for awhile, I’ve been lazy after the written test and make up test. My excuse is I have to hand in an assignment for this coming Thursday. The assignment I need to choose a theme for a wedding, write something about the theme, around 1000-1500 words. Beside I also need to do a make up related to the theme and taking the photos for pre & post result. Finally I also need to do a sketch about A4 size and describe the shading and highlight areas.

For the assignment, only the portrait part left. Hopefully I can finish it by tonight.

For my next module, it’ll start next Wednesday. This module will getting harder and we’ll start having some out job experience.

Lazy weekend

Have been lazy over the weekend, just keep watching the Olympic matches. I haven’t watched so many varieties of sports before, like gun shooting, archery, and weightlifting. Gymnastics, volleyball & diving are still my favorites among all the sports.

I spend too much time on TV. It’s really time for me to start my revision and prepare for my test next Monday. Having 2 parts for the test, first is written test and the second part is to do an evening make up. I start studying my notes for the written; so many information need to remember. I’ll try to sum up some of the points and share it in here.

Revision result

Last night was really a pre-examination for us. We separated in to 4 groups. Each of us only got exactly 45mins for our make up work to finish.

My partner did the make over for me first. She spent most of the times doing my eyebrow and choosing the eye color, not enough time to do the blush. The teacher gave us 15mins more minutes to finish up the work but 5 points will be deducted.

 

After the teacher gave us the comments for the first round, then it’s my turn to do the make over. I started to do the base and foundation stick as usual. The eyebrow and the eyelash are always the most challenging part to me. It’s not easy to make the two sides even, so I spent a certain time for that. I’m glad that I decide the colors of the eye shadow. Actually I finished my work just on time. For the comments, still those same old faults I did before. I do need to work hard on the shading, eyebrow and blush color.

Overall, the teacher said all of us should be failed if we did our work like this. We know we have a lot for improvement and there are not many time for us to practice before the exam. I still feel satisfy for my work, since my partner’s very happy for her look, she told me her eye’s never ever this Big before^^! It’s very good to make people feeling happy, it’s the reason that I want to do make up for others~

Final revision

I did some practice myself on Saturday with one of my friend as my model. I took around one and half hour to do one bridal makeup and evening makeup. I was very late for my practice session, so I did it so rush and the teacher comment’s not so good.

I need to decide the colors we used for the exam by tonight, since the teacher will give comment about our work. I ‘m getting nervous, not sure which colors I’m going to use and I think I’m not practice enough for it too.

 

Eyebrow

The eyebrow is one of the important things for your image. There are so many different shapes of eyebrow. For the five basic shapes are curved, angled, soft angled, round and flat. Different shapes give people different impression.

I think most of the lady do spend times and money to keep their eyebrow in a good shape. There are so many equipments that can help you to create the eyebrow shape that you want.

For the ideal eyebrow shape, there is a so call rule. It begins from the side of the nostril to the end of the eyebrow passing beyond the outer corner of the eye. As those beginner make up artist like me, I’ll use a brush to see weather the eyebrow is long enough or not.

Beside the shape, color is another important thing for the eyebrow. The ideal color is match up with your hair color. And remember, the dark color will make people look wickedness. So be careful when you choose your eyebrow color.

Last lesson

This is the last lesson before the revision. It means the exam day is coming shortly. In this lesson, the teacher demonstrates the technique to apply double eyelid tape. The teacher also shows us different type of the tape. Some are already cut in shape; some are just a roll of tape that you have to cut every time you use, some are very fine tape that keep inside and plastic tape and double eyelid glue with the applicator.

The most effective and commonly use is the double eyelid tape. The fine tape is only for some minor problem but really like invisible. The effect of the glue is so artificial.

The key point for applying the tape or glue is you have to apply it before your make up base and foundation. So that you can keep the tape longer in place and hold the effect for a longer time.

This week we have to decide the colors combination for our exam and do it on the next lesson for our teacher’s comment. Any suggestion for the colors (evening make up)? I also need to prepare my assignment, I’m still thinking about the topics, if you have any particular theme for your dream wedding, please drop me a note to give me some idea~^^.

7th Lesson

Monday was my 7^th lesson of my make up class. This time we practice the evening make up with heavy smoky eyes. I do like smoky eyes but sometimes just think my eyes is too round for this. Smoky eyes can make your eye look bigger and your dark circle less visible.

 

The color tone for this time is very dark, using black with dark purple and pinkish purple for the smoky effect. The 3 colors after blending finally come out with 9 colors (Real pretty colors). It’s not really like a evening make up. I don’t think many people can accept this. It’s more like a stage make up or for some dance performance.

The black color powder eye shadow really makes a mess when I applied. The teacher teaches us the method to clean up the mess on model’s face. We have to use a clean sponge and some liquid foundation to remove the dirt and apply some dry powder later on. The clean up process really takes times. For the smoky eyes’ skill, I think I really need to practice some more~!!
