Stories of a makeup artist...

This make up was done a few years ago with the use of airbrush liquids specifally this brand Temptu. Check them out at  https://temptu.com/ .  I've started doing airbrush 2007 when I thought there was a need for it. I was looking for alternatives on make up brands that would actually mimic a flawless skin. My first machine and airbrush set is OCC or Obssessive Compulsive Cosmetics still from the US but I just heard the business closed down this year though.Too bad the make up was good.  Here in this look, I created a high-definition effect using all Temptu liquids. Mixing everything from eyeshadows to bronzers. The eyeliner and  lipsticks were manually done with make up brushes though as they tend to be very precise and detailed. The eyebrows were stenciled but blended well. The lashes were also attached after all the make up were done. 

 Oh my, it's been a long time since I have last posted something about work... and I think it has been a year already to be exact!  Anyway, I won't make any promises but I will really try my very best to post works more often and perhaps share more about what ladies often want to learn more. Even the men can join too.  And to share some more today, I almost gave up being a make up artist! Probably one of the reasons why is because, most people nowadays are becoming more and more of a critic and doesn't know what real art is. I had a lot of experiences, really bad ones, that I almost lost myself but I just prayed to God. Then, it happened...I still get blessings from Him. They just kept pouring in. I couldn't even believe it myself but I always thought God was the one who is telling me to slow down. To enjoy. To do my best.  Now, I'm grateful.This is me, still working and surviving....  after 13 years. Thank you God. I am grateful.

(Picture shot inside a mall) Hi!  I know it's been almost a year since my last post🙁 Trying to make amends with myself and everything by catching up with the world online. Most of the time I get a lot prodding from my friends who would like to see more of me doing some "awesome" make up tutorials. I hate to admit it but I actually love doing make up videos but I hardly get enough work done when at home. I get too addicted and that's VERY BAD. I need to do some laudry too, you know.  I love my job, I really do. Almost 12 years of working as a make up artist and mostly doing bridal work, I'm not complaining. Maybe that's where I'm really good at.  I think most artists, they love to work in the entertainment business, I did ONCE UPON A TIME. They love the glitz and glamour they get especially since media  and celebrities do get sooo much attention and the artists are somewhat on cloud nine.  I worked with almost every type of people on set, event and photosh...

I like that the toys nowadays are becoming more and more realistic such as this doll ( i'm sorry but I don't know who she is:-( ..)  the make up is absolutely gorgeous! It was like the real thing! Even the lashes looked real! The artists must have been so OC he/she wants it to look detailed. I liked the hair too! So fashion savvy! 

Obviously you can tell which one is my fave! They both last long but I prefer the creamier type from Mac. Milani is also good and I guess longer lasting because it's a bit stiff and using a mixing medium will probably do the trick (for easier smooth application)----just maybe! I haven't tried! There are already a lot of mixing mediums or sometimes they call themselves "converter" or "thinner" for cream or powder make up. Sometimes make up fixer or setting sprays will also help thin out some cream make up especially for the gel brow cremes in pots but I won't really recommend it on gel eyeliners as they are a bit harsh when applied to lashlines. Be  sure to read the labels or instructions first before applying anything to your face especially to eye areas.   They have a lot of colors but I prefer these colors to my eyebrows. And I also have the "Brunette" from Mac and I use it whenever I color my hair darker than the usual light brown I have or ...
