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 :)

(I apologize for the poor quality of the pics, I don't know much on how to adjust the camera's settings.)
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:

Thanks for reading! I will do a separate post for my Mudra's complete look for the event. Bye for now :)
