Skull Girl

December post! It's supposed to be late post for end of November, but I forgot to publish it!
I guess I'll just be blogging my heart away since I miserably fail filming the process of doing my makeup, but then I'm still too eager to shoot a shorter video tonight and I really hope this will be the first video I'll upload on my Youtube Channel.

For today's look, it's inspired by my favorite makeup look of all time, the half-girl half-skull, or simply the Skull girl concept. I've done a half skull look in the past, If I'm not mistaken it has been 5 years ago, and I still think it's pretty dope for a beginner to try it out.. (plus the help of Photoshop) Still, I thirst for a better Skull Girl look without the help of of PS so I gathered up my makeups and face paint and planned the day ahead. Luckily it's my younger bro's day off, so I asked him to help and do the outline for the other half of my face. My bro is an art teacher and he has mastered artworks though paints and airbrush. Doing the outline for skulls were too easy for him. 

On the right side of my face I did my own take of iconic red lips paired with sleek eyebrows and cat eyes. I also did a few eye contouring since I'm not into super winged liners coz it makes my eyes look smaller. I also did soft contouring on my cheeks, nose, forehead and jawline using a darker face powder.

For the left side of my face I sectioned it into half with white face paint from Glamour, and my bro started working it out by doing outlines that resembles that of a skull and filled each with black face paint. After that we just shadowed it out with my matte black eye shadow which is Corrupt from Makeup Geek.

Here's the finished look. My post may be short but the process of doing this took a lot of time, two memory cards have exceeded their memory so I just gave up filming it. I think I should do two separate looks for each instead of one long video.

Lastly, I'm so lucky to receive an early Christmas gift from my very own Santa... Yes, I'm talking about my husband. This is the second makeup traincase I received from him this year and this time, it has 4 bulbs!

Just in time for my makeup gig this month, my batchmate/colleague Jurish's wedding day. I was already planning to bring my ring light though it's too bulky, then my husband said I should buy a traincase with light. I was torn between 4 bulbs and 6 bulbs, but the 6 bulb is too big! I don't think I can easily bring it on not so big makeup gigs. I want it handy and cute, besides I already have my ring light if I need to film or do some portrait photography. I'm literally on cloud nine!

As I've mentioned before I'm all out when buying makeups but I'm a bit skeptical to buy them a house, a traincase I mean. It has always been my husband who decides that just like his guitars, my makeups need a shelter, and as my makeup collection grows, then I should add a shelter for them, or buy another one.

This is just the beginning for my makeup journey. Harmonium Music Studio just opened last November 18th, and I was tasked to become their Makeup/Beauty Instructor under art class, so aside from being a dance instructor, I'll be doing another stuff that I love! Life can be really hard at times, but once the blessing comes, it's overflowing.

Thanks for reading guys! Unfortunately, no video on my channel yet! But soon enough, I'll be uploading one, and I really can't wait to share it with you.

Halloween Party Last 2010

I love Halloween Season!

I always look forward to it every year even when I was young.

I haven't tried trick or treating

but Halloween parties and

having a marathon of horror shows on television is what I really enjoy.

 Spooky stories are so nice to hear,

(then I'll regret listening to it) 

and shopping malls in the Philippines

will start displaying and selling scary costumes around early September.

my bestbud Marc & me at SM Mall of Asia

Last year was the happiest Halloween for me,

coz I get to celebrate it with friends.

We went to the biggest shopping mall in the Philippines,

 and played with scary stuffs.

 MY FRIENDS AND I LOVE TO PLAY AND DO CRAZY STUPID THINGS.

my bestfriend Joyce feelin' demonic. lol

This one's the freakiest of all.

My friend Marc told me to kiss this creature.

The moment my nose touched it's teeth,

I jumped!!

It's really freakkkkky!!!

The lower half of it's body is missing!!

 Mutilated!!

It's fake though.

I can't remember which one happened first, 

playing at the mall or our halloween party

but it surely happened a week apart.

Of course the basic things you need

for a halloween themed party are:

spider webs

face paints

pumpkins. either fake or real

Here's our behind the scenes

 from our Halloween photoshoot/ party:

Our dear friend Chiquie doing the designs for spooky webs

  

the fake plastic pumpkins

Me & my bestfriend horsing around

then, we started painting our faces.

We're gonna transform ourselves into Sugar Skulls.. or half skull half girl

my broken mirror. hahah~

I have no idea what I'm doing. 

 Marc has his faux bleeding cut..

For my face, I was aiming for this look:

She's my favorite makeup artist on Youtube.

Her name's Jody.

So my concept is half skull half face girl.

 My bestfriend Joyce wants this one.

I think this is Marc's concept.

I have no idea about Chiquie's concept. LOL!!^^

After painting our faces

and designing the nipa hut

where we will have photoshoot and eat together,

here's the result:

mine ^_^

my bestfriend Joyce 

my bestbuddy Marc

My close friend Chiquie

toast!! coz we've done it successfully!^_^

The paints on our face were dull and lifeless coz of the flash,

so I enhanced it using Adobe Photoshop.

 

I think my bestfriend did a good job.^^

Chiquie and her adorable son Zander who also played with us

red juice. ^_^

I wanna do it again this year!! What should be my next concept?

Hmmm... a Vampire?
