I specialize in Smoky eyes

Saturday, December 2nd, 2006

On the 25th of November 2006, i became the proud beholder of a Diploma in Professional Makeup! Woohoo!!  It was one full year of experimenting on faces and now i’m finally a certifies artist. It was months of hard work and constant juggle, but finally, theres no more classs… ;)

Moving on, i’ve finally gotten the time to settle down with clients on weekends, so for all the girls out there, do bear in mind that i specialize in smoky eyes ok :)

Phew… November and December has been a busy month, of celebration and annual dinners and weddings, of course. I had 5 clients today- thats a record in the making. In fact, i’ve been getting clientsevery weekend ever since Raya got here. Which is good, because this is a smooth transition from classes to clients.

For those who are really wondering what kind of makeup i often paint on people’s faces, let me give some quick points:

1. Nude makeup: for the day wear, extremely easy, emphasize on bare, clear skin and soft lashes.

2. Two-point day wear: Two colors on the lids, light soft colors, the darker shade on the outer side, with a 30% touch.

3. Two-point evening wear: Two colors on the lids, a deep color and a lighter color, the darker shade on the outer side, with a 30% touch.

4. Smoky eyes: Dark, round, one-point color, followed by a light highlight. Very dramatic, and i call mine The Evanesence or The Alicia Keys.

5. Deep-set: For those with obvious brow bone. Very difficult to paint, but looks very artistic when i’m all done. Create a sharp "V" ant-clockwise with dark eyeliner and color the insides with a lighter shade. Good for evening wear.

But above all, i love the smoky eyes the best, because it creates a lot of drama to the eyes.

Pair it with nude, clear lippy. Yummy :)
