Day 11 to 13: Makeup School

Here is the last chapter of my adventures in makeup school. We finished the course last Friday and we did a couple of challenging makeup looks for the past three days.

DAY 11 - High Fashion Makeup

Today's makeup look was inspired by the 1960s. Think about big doe eyes. Think Twiggy and Bridget Bardot.

Best of Both Worlds

This is the work I did for Southern Living's June 2011 issue. I did grooming for Cookie la O', a professional golfer.


This was actually the magazine's father's day feature. Cookie was accompanied by his wife and their two super adorable kids at the shoot. We did a couple of shots but mostly it was just of Cookie. I'm glad the magazine chose this photo. Cute kids, right?

Southern Living is a free lifestyle guide (they also have Northern Living and other titles as well). When I have work in a magazine or other publication, I make sure I get myself a copy. I didn't know where I could get this other than their office. So when I saw this in Yellow Cab, I had to ask the manager if I could have it. And no, I did not steal it. He was actually very nice about it. Thanks Mr. Manager! :)

Anyhoo, speaking of fathers and father's day, it's my dad's birthday next week and I don't know what to get him. It's just so hard to buy gifts for men, don't you agree? This means one thing, we're heading to the mall tomorrow! :)

Beauty Tip # 7

Make your mascara work for you - swipe it right!
To do a sexy cat eye look, do sideways strokes towards the outer corner of the eyes.
To make your lashes appear full, wiggle the wand at the base of your lashes 
then finish off with a stroke upwards.
To lengthen, add a light application on the tips of your lashes.

Keep a mascara wand handy at all times. This helps you separate your lashes and 
lets you take care of clumps before your mascara dries up.
  I like the MAC 205 Mascara Fan Brush. 
At first, I didn't know why I even bought it but this is a super brush! Love it!
 


Happy September Loves! :)
