One of my interests is makeups. Aside from watching makeup tutorials, I always wanted to do make-overs. I'm not a professional makeup artist, but I believe my creative side can execute a simple makeover to friends or family members.
Later this evening, my parents will be attending a formal event with Rotary Club. My Mudra asked me if I can do her hair and makeup, of course I gladly agreed. I excitedly packed some of my makeup kits and tools and brought them in Laguna yesterday.

Yesterday, we decided to practice. I previously have done makeups of some ex-officemates, but I had a hard time putting makeup to Mudra. I have not anticipated that it will be this challenging because of her loose skin and wrinkles. Sorry, we were not able to take some pictures of her finished look.
While I was doing Mudra's makeup, my sister Doc Thea has been asking a lot of questions: how to put a particular product, what does it do, what colors should match a certain skin color, etc. Of course I answered all her queries, feeling proud and very professional.
When I finished Mudra's face, I told my sis I also wanted to practice on her. Please take a look of her pictures :)

As you can see, I have not done anything on her eyebrows. I'm not good at it, so I advised her to go the a brow salon for one-time threading and later maintain it by herself. I love the outcome of the colors on her eyes. It's more vibrant in person. I used all the blues in my Nyx "All I've Ever Wanted" Palette.
Up next, the nails. I asked my Mudra to do her nails as usual and I will be in charge of her polish. I pick the color combination that will complement her evening dress for the event: Revlon Shara Gold 08 and Color Trends Tamarind Sherbet. It was my first time to try Ombre style on her nails. Thanks to Shayne for her tutorial. If anyone's interested on how to do it, here's the link: DIY: Gradient Ombre Nail Art.

Thanks for reading! I will do a separate post for my Mudra's complete look for the event. Bye for now :)
sis it looks nice! :) i like the colors that you used on her nails. do you have a bigger swatch for the revlon gold nail polish? i tried googling it online but i cant seem to find it. i only saw metallic frosted golds from revlon. thanks for letting me know that you tried the DIY :D means so much to me!
ReplyDeleteHi Shayne, we bought the Revlon Sahara Gold 08 a few years back. Maybe it has been phased out. I can't also find it in Google.
DeleteHave you noticed that the Color Trends Tamarind Sherbet is a dupe to your Etude House Ice Cream Nail Polish #36? :)
i cant find it sis. i tried to look for it in PCX ^^ they look very similar nga ^^
Deletewow! such a neat application, keep it up! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your makeup collection :)
Hi Eyah, thanks! I will try to practice more to improve :)
DeleteGreat job with the makeup and the nails :) I like how you put on the shadows and the lippie you used. I used to sell NYX products before and I really love that palette. Love the nails too. The color combination you made looks so nice on the nails :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Genzel!!! Your compliments made my day. I'm inspired to learn more. :)
DeleteSo jealous that you have someone you can practice applying makeup on. My sister doesn't like me practicing on her. Haha! Great job on the makeup and on the nails!! :D
ReplyDeleteActually, it's a rare occasion. I only got to see her about twice a month. Besides, she don't like wearing makeup at all.
DeleteI still need to learn a lot of things. I'm having a hard time on the "blending" part. Maybe I have to acquire the right tools too.
The NYW is one of my favorite NYX product. I love the eye shadows! You have a talent girl. You have an awesome blog here and I would like to keep in touch. You can visit my blog too and perhaps we can follow each other too :)
