Maquillage Professionel Graduation :)

After 13 days of intensive lessons and hands on exercises I finally got my Certificate! :) I feel so blessed to have started 2012 doing what I love and what I'm passionate about! We started on January 2 and ended on January 18. 

Maquillage Professionel Day 13: Practice Any Look

For our last day we had the chance to practice any look we wanted so I decided to do a late afternoon/night bridal look. 

Maquillage Professionel Day 10: Bridal Makeup (Arabian Inspired)

I didn't have a model lined up for my 10th daw with Maquillage Professionel so I asked mom to model for me. We did a themed bridal look for an evening wedding. 

Maquillage Professionel Day 9: Bridal Makeup (Day)

I looooooove doing bridal makeup!! The key is to enhance the client’s features without changing their faces! 

I want to thank Karen for being my model today even if it’s her birthday! I had a good time. I just really need to practice doing eyebrows freehand!!! HAHA.

Maquillage Professionel Day 8: Colored Photography

I’m on my 8th day, we took up makeup for colored photography usually for billboards, editorials or ads.

We had the choice to do natural, nude, colorful smokey eyes, high fashion or avant guarde. I don’t know what I exactly went with but I’m super sure it wasn’t nude or natural! HAHAHA!  

Maquillage Professionel Day 7: Makeup for Black & White Photography

For my 7th day, we had to do a look for black and white photography. We had to make a really dark eye look, super contoured face and a nude lip. My model today was Ms. Reena, my cousin’s boss. It was pretty challenging because she had hooded and droopy eyes. I honestly think I did pretty well. :) 

Maquillage Professionel Day 6: Smokey Eyes

I've been trying to do the perfect smokey eye on myself for the longest time and during Day 6 of my classes at Maquillage Professionel I finally figured out what I was doing wrong! 

I wasn't blending according to my eye shape! Our lesson back in Day 3 was really helpful in determining what type of smokey eye you have to choose. I'll do a separate post on the proper smokey eye soon. 

Maquillage Professionel Day 5: Maquillage du Soir/Night Makeup

On our 5th day of class we had to do Maquillage du Soir or Night makeup. This look did not mean we had to choose dark colors and make them smokey. It was about choosing vibrant colors which stand out in the dark.
