Personal Make-up Workshop

To be exact, my passion for learning was revived sometime mid-November. Since it's near holiday season, I couldn't find any new courses opening up. I just browsed thru the net and signed up for interesting workshops/seminars.
More fun coming up :)

Personal Make-up Workshop :p
Date: Dec 1 (Sat)



Yeah right, let's start with something no-brainer hehe. :p I joined a private make-up workshop with several Singaporeans and Indians somewhere in Stamford House in City Hall area. Funny was that I was chosen to be the demo model (my goodness ibang level!). Reason I think is because I was the only fair-complexioned Asian with double eyelids (talukap in Tagalog), they can experiment with more eyeshadow effects. Cool, that just made my day hehe! For info, Chinese really put a great DEAL about the double eyelid thing.. to the extent that they will plaster some flesh-colored tapes in the eyelid area to create the flap effect. And for info, yeah I have double eyelids, hindi lng ata halata minsan haha. Anyway, this was really a fun learning experience.

Sharing some of the tips:
1) for skin care, normally forehead will have dead skin cells and will cause uneven skin tone meaning forehead area has a darker shade compared to face area, you have to use exfoliant scrub weekly (exfoliants contain small particles that will lightly abrade off your dead skin cells)

2) before applying make-up, you have to apply moisturizer and eyecream. (this I didnt know) Its a no-no to apply make-up directly to skin because the particles will cause aging. make sure also that your make-up stuff contains only natural oils.

3) applying loose powder makes your make-up last longer

4) the most crucial in make-up is drawing your eyebrows. There should be a peak in the curve, somewhere 45deg of the corner part of your eyeball.

5) for eyecolor, be adventurous, experiment with different tones/layers.

Personally, I still prefer very light make-up. I looked strange after the workshop haha. :)
