Practice Makes Perfect...Well...Almost Perfect.

Last year me and my cousin, Kirsten, took up Makeup classes. Well, I was always late for some personal reasons and traffic but I did learn a lot from my teachers. I was also always in a hurry to go home because of some things I just had to do. I wasn't able to make a portfolio from the class because I rode the MRT everyday and bringing all my makeup was already a hassle...I couldn't bring my camera anymore (I do not own a digicam so bringing an SLR was out of the question). I did enjoy the classes though...even if at first I was lost. I did decent makeup. But after graduating I realized that "decent" isn't enough. So I practiced. Me and my then boyfriend, now husband, arranged photoshoots so I could get the hang of it. Then when I was pregnant I was always tired to go out...so I practiced by myself. Towards the end of my pregnancy I got too bored so my husband, Adam, and our friend, Gian, arranged a few shoots so I could build my portfolio. Well, I'm getting past "decent" and I am becoming more confident about myself and what I could do. Here are some of my works:

And here is my recent work:

I hope I could do more and be more. Thank you to my mom who pushed me to learn makeup artistry and to my husband for his support :)
