Thanks again for all the sweet comments on my school post!!! This is the final school report and I hope everyone enjoyed my journey!
Our finals/ graduation day required us to do at least one look. We originally thought of doing 2 looks but doing 2 looks for 1 model is quite difficult so everyone decided to do just one. I've thought of a look that I haven't done yet for a nice portfolio. That's when I decided I'll go for Avant Garde Look.
Avant Garde Look.
What am I going to do? I was searching for a super look to challenge myself as I've always been scared of drawing! My brother is the artist in our family and I've always had him help me out in any school activities that deals with drawing!
Now this is makeup, I cannot have my brother help me out! I have to go ahead and conquer my fear, I've chosen a look done by the wonderful Julia who's super talented and she left me in "AWE" when I saw her photos! Check out her blog and you'll know what I mean :)
Here's the photo that inspired me to do the same! Check out her youtube video that goes with this wonderful look too! :)
Thanks to Julia from mizzchievouz.blogspot.com
for permitting me to attach her image here.

ReplyDeleteCongrats nikki!your final project looks wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteoh wow! you really have talent ms nikie now i know why you wanted to be make up artist!!
ReplyDeletewhat brushes did you used?
Wow... really amazing and an awesome idea.... :-) it looked pretty good to seee a tree on her face :D
ReplyDeleteDude! That is awesome! Actually, this look reminds me of Mardi Gras, a holiday that's celebrated in Louisiana and makeup-wise it's mostly bright vibrant colors, usually green, yellow, and purple. Masks are sometimes worn as well to look mysterious and mischievous. Mardi Gras is celebrated one day before Ash Wednesday (a Roman Catholic holy day that marks the beginning ofthe Lenten season) and it's a day where you basically go wild before you repent and be solemn for the Lent season for 2 months haha. I won't go into further details about Mardi Gras. Let's just say the parades involve screaming and sometimes booby flashing xD
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! The makeup was impressive! No, that is an understatement....it is worthy of a gold medal. if there is one ;p
ReplyDeleteReally great job replicating the look! She always amazes me and you did her great justice. :D Congrats on graduating!!

ReplyDeleteOMG you're so talented! I couldn't stop staring at the looks you did. Galing! I could never come up with something like that. Hope you don't mind if I use one of your photos for an article I'm writing on makeup classes in Manila. I'll credit you of course. :)
ReplyDeleteYes Lauren, its ok :) Thanks
ReplyDeleteCan you do reviews about Beauty schools here in Manila.
ReplyDeleteI'm choosing between basement salon, Make up forever Academy, LCI and CAS. What do you think?
Hi Akiko, well for one, Basement Academy is now HD Makeup Studio :) You can search them over FB :)
ReplyDeleteAbout the schools, it really boils down to your budget, your location and your schedule! I chose Basement because they have classes after work and its 2 weeks intensive and I don't need to choose my models as they provide you with one! All the schools you mentioned are really good and they really give good teachings and services! :) You can start calling them to ask for their schedules, tuition fee and the time length for learning then you choose from there :)
Your teacher is Mss Cheryl Cabanos pala. I enrolled for a personal class with her, but I wasn't able to finish, kase busy sa life. But yes, she is really good.
