Television Makeup Final

My two months in Television/HD makeup is over and now im transitioning into Film makeup. I have two more months of school and I'll be finished!!! My time at Elegance International seemed so short.

For my Final I had to make my model age 20 years older. I used the stretch and stipple technique with Balloon Rubber latex.

A project we had to do during our course was do a simple injury and I chose to do an abrasion. The scenario was i fell off my bike and I skidded on the ground. OUCHIE!

I like this picture because I didn't get enough sleep the night before and you can clearly tell by my under eye bags so it looks like ive been crying ahha.

My Apologies!! I'm Here!

Sorry for not updating guys!!! This will be a long post explaining where I've been and what
I've been doing for the last 2 months.


First off, I am still in makeup school. I have 2 more months!! I graduate at the end of July. I am now taking the Television/HD makeup course. This is my teacher Rick Knight doing a demo using an Airbrush. His inspiration for this was from a red frog.





I recently participated in my schools (Elegnace International) 6th annual student competition. I was in the body painting category. I didn't win but I was very happy that i finished in time. Doing the swirls was really what took up the most time.

So I call her Tidal Wave the Super hero =)
So what I've been doing was working on my competition. It was very stressful. I signed up for a category I've never even tried before. I had no idea how I was going to finish in time so I went in thinking I know I'm not going to win but if I finish HALLELUJUAH!!
Imats is coming up and of course I will be there getting my shop on. If any one is going let me know it would be fun meeting fellow bloggers. That Saturday after Imats I will be going to the Electric Daisy Carnival also so let me know if your going to that too!! Let's make it a party hahah.
Lately I've felt like I've lost my jive for makeup. Moving out to California has really changed me.. in a better way I must say. I guess you can say I've been having way too much fun out here and I've forgotten the reason to why I came out here in the first place. I just need to find that passion again. Maybe blogging more often will help me with that =).

How to: Conceal undereye circles and not look cakey



Step one::If you have dark circles we will correct that first. I like to use a yellow based corrector like Ben Nye's Mellow yellow in normal. What is usually recommended is a pink based corrector like Benefits Erase Paste. I like Ben Nyes corrector because its a lot more pigmented and I have quite noticeable dark circles.

Step Two:: This shows the placement of where to put your corrector. It should go right under the fatty pocket under your eye. If you smile you can tell where this fatty pocket is located. With the corrector on your brush use the tip of the brush to place it under the fatty pocket. Don't use the flat side of your concealer brush. Then with your finger tap the corrector around the pocket to blend Do Not wipe. If you feel that he consistency of your corrector is to thick for you use a smidge bit your moisturizer to thin it out. If you dont have dark circles and is content with just normal concealer skip to next step.
Step Three:: Use a concealer that is he same color has your skin. I use a cream concealer but if you are concerned with cakeyness again mix it with just a little bit of moisturizer. A liquid concealer would be great too.

Step Four:: This shows the placement of your concealer. This time you can go up to the lash line. If your concealer is a little light for you and you go up to the lash line that fatty pocket could seem to look bigger so make sure it matches ur skin. Its kind of like the theory of high lights and shadows. If you highlight something that is already standing out it will be even more noticeable. That is why the corrector goes under the fatty pocket not over it. You don't want to look like you have really round fatty eyes do you? lol

Step Five:: Conceal blemishes and Foundation
