My sisters wedding

Hola! It's been a while since my last post, I've been busy the past 2 weeks hence the hiatus from blogging. But I do hope to get back on track with regular blogging soon! :) I recently just came from a trip from Singapore to attend my sister's civil wedding. My sister's then boyfriend is based in Singapore hence the choice to have a civil wedding there. But no complaints what so ever since it gave the family a reason to have a mini out of the country get together / vacation. :)

I was ecstatic to have the privilege from my sister to do her make up on her special day (I hope she still trusts me for her Church Wedding *hinthint to sister*). So I won't really make a lengthy wordy post and just show you guys some of the images from that.

Basically, what I did for my sister was the Prime Look with a little hint of purple. The goal was to make her look stunning but not over the top. I mainly focused on giving her flawless skin so she would look great regardless what eye make up we put. So without further a do, here are the images from my sister's special day.

For some reason, I do not have an after shot of the just finished make up. I think we were all rushing by that time haha. Although here is the closest shot of the After shot I got. :)

Their first shot as a married couple Congratulations!!!! :)


Family Shot :) (ugh i'm so fat compared to my sister and mom)

It was such a fun fun day full of love, spent with the whole family. Like what they say, marriage is not just the joining of two people but more the joining of two families. It was such a fun loving day. Congratulations to my sister and my new brother, Anna and JR! :)

In addition, I was browsing through the pics and found this pic of me checking the foundation done on my face if it looked even or not. Then I realized, wow me and my sister look so much alike in this pic and the one I took of her to check her foundation too hahaha. I just look more uhhh androgynous she look sweet. haha

Lastly, here was my look for my sisters wedding :)




Toodles!! :)

Make Up School Exercise #2 - The Prime Look (pic heavy)

It was a long and very fun day spent at school. We spent the first hour putting the base of the makeup up to the eye shadow, from what we learned in the last exercise. Everyone was on their toes since it was our first evaluation. It was soooo fun, after that we proceeded to our next exercise which is the Prime Look.

The prime look is the most basic of all basics when it comes to full makeup application. This is also called the 'No makeup look,' 'Natural Look' or 'Bridal'. This look uses the most simplest of products, with just using 2 shades of Natural eye shadow, 1 highlighter, 1 blush, 1 lipstick, eye liner and mascara. Of course all this on top of the base you created.

Here's a photo walk through of what happened. :)

Kathy's Before Photo

Kathy after the first evaluation (Base up to Eyebrows) Still need to do a little work on eye brows though. Practice Practice Practice!!



Me and Kathy while waiting for others' evaluations to finish



Then we did a half of the face in a step-by step lecture with RB, here's how mine looks on Kathy


On the right side is the finished product :)


Once we completed one side of the face, the task now was to be able to repeat the whole process on the other side of the face, but we were timed, we had to accomplish this in 15 minutes! The more pressure part is, that right after this came our 2nd evaluation! Yes that's right 2 evaluations in 1 Day!!



Here's the final look :)

By this time amidst all the pressure in the time limit and making sure both eyes and both sides of the face was even, I was a happy happy girl. :) When RB came over to evaluate my work, she took a 2 seconder look at Kathy then said EXCELLENT and gave me all 5's. I was shocked and I wanted to cry!! I swear it felt so good all the hard work reaps its rewards. I thanked RB so much and then we proceeded to the photo shoot area where some Photography students were having an exercise. They took pictures of our models with some accessories they brought along. I guess some exercise for their class. :)

Here's some of Kathy's behind the scenes images from that:
