What do you get when you put in 30 ladies who are make-up enthusiasts, Beauty Bloggers and 2 Crazy instructions in ONE area? A riot! A good, prettifying riot!
When Valerie from GlamBox contacted me and Sophie to be the instructors for their first ever airbrush workshop called "Lights, Camera, Airbrush Workshop", I agreed right away! Aside from my passion for teaching + make-up, it was such an honor to be part of a workshop!
After yummy lunch, we've decided to do what we're supposed to do --- EAT ahem I mean TEACH! We prepared the table with materials needed for the lesson!
Lovely Val welcome the lucky participants and introduced the 2 instructors for the afternoon! I think I heard they are super fun, super gorgeous, super sexy, super smart + all the positive superlatives you can think of! No violent reactions. Those who disagree will be ejected out of their seat right this moment! :P
Sophie and I have decided to split the lesson in half. I started the first half while lovely Sophie sat next to me to assist me and would give her thoughts on some issues or questions raised during the session. I started the workshop with skin care talk, brush cleansing techniques then discussed the basics of the Airbrush System.
The exciting part is here when I asked for a volunteer, thanks Ara for being such a wacky Model! She told me right away that she wanted to hide her freckles! I personally think she looks great with them but hey! Since we're talking about make-up and coverage is very important, she's the perfect model for the day!
I corrected her freckles first PRIOR to airbrush foundation application. Do not forget to fill in your brows with eyebrow gel that's a shade darker than the usual eyebrow shade you use, this will lighten up after foundation application!
Airbrush application, for starters can be really tedious, but once you get the hang of it, putting airbrush make-up on your own face will be a breeze! You can ask one of the participants who swore on airbrush make-up! She told me it cuts make-up time in half! Or more!
A quick break after the first session! Val hosted simple games as participants gamely raises their hands to answer simple, yet fun questions!
My lovely Shobe Sophie's turn! She continued the discussion to take about Contouring/Highlighting, Blush Application and even Eyeshadow Application using the airbrush gun!
She shared to the group how you can also
use mineral pigments, mixed with water to create your own airbrush
eyeshadow shades! Keep in mind that the pigments should be fine! Even if I'm there as an instructor, I have to admit that I've learned so much too just by listening to her! :)
