Personal Make Up Class: Check!

So the excitement is over. Last Saturday I finished my first ever one-on-one Personal Makeup class. I enjoyed every moment of our makeup session, thanks to Anne Cillio of Makeup Maven Forever. :) I never thought that I'll be able to properly apply makeup on my face. I just need constant practice. As what Anne said, "Practice Makes Perfect".

My "no makeup" makeup. Sorry for the eyebags! haha

We started around 8:30 am and ended around 12noon. It was a short session but I must say that I learned a lot. When we started the tutorial she asked me to bring out all the make ups I brought. I must admit that some of the make-ups that I have were my mom's since I don't have my own kit. (Hehehe) She evaluated them one by one and gave me feedback if they are okay or not.

My own makeup kit. Not all are mine. Haha.

I'm drooling over the brushes she has! And these are just "some" of what she owns.

It was a light yet very comprehensive session. There are a lot of things she taught which I never really knew at all due to my slight ignorance in this kind of thing. One by one she patiently discussed the brushes that came with makeup brush set that I bought. I had a lot of fun, especially the part when she looked at the foundation I brought. For the longest time I always rely on the sales ladies at the department stores when buying foundation/powders so as expected, they did not match skin tone. Yes I was too lazy to even search the internet so I know it's partly my fault. She also taught me how to groom my eyebrows which I find amazing as well. :) And of course, she also guided me on the proper way of applying makeup. I always thought that I can never put a decent makeup on my face but she proved me wrong. Now I am decided to build my own makeup kit. Haha.

Ready For Make-Up

You might be surprised that at 30, I do not know how to apply make-up. I may sound like a loser, but it's true. While growing up I was never really interested in putting color on my face. Yes, I know how to apply face powder and lip gloss, but that was about it. At times when I feel like doing it I put some blush on my cheeks, though I am not so sure if I put it right or not. My work doesn't really require me to wear make-up so I never really bothered learning it, until I turned 30.

Tomorrow I will be learning the basics of Personal Make-Up. A former colleague turned make-up artist was nice enough to offer a one-on-one session at a reasonable price. :) I am excited and nervous. It's like going to a new school for the first time. Hehehe.

I want to come prepared so I will be arming myself with this set of makeup brushes from Dashe:

Please be kind enough not to ask questions about the brushes for I won't be able to tell you what they are and how do I use each one. I have to actually use them before I can share anything to you. I've searched WWW. for affordable brushes that fits my criteria. (Positive reviews + Budget). Hopefully these brushes really serve their purpose. :) I'll write my review about these brushes soon! :D

That's it for now. I'm hoping to learn a lot tomorrow. :) Good Night! Life is Really Good! :D
