I joined the MakeupBee Contest, help me win!

Hi Ladies!

So I was browsing at the MakeupBee site and thinking of posting a look, then I saw a competition for a Chic Bridal Look sponsored by BFTE Cosmetics.

I submitted an entry and entitled it My Sweet Bride.

Here is the link to my competition entry -->> CLICK ME.

Bridal Expo at Long Beach Convention Center

It's Bridal Time again! :)

December seems to be a nice month to propose marriage, eh? Premier Bridal Expo at Long Beach Convention Center was a hit! There was a lot of brides with bridesmaids in tow, lots of booths and vendors! :)

I am lucky to freelance and be on-call MUA for Salon 5150 in Brea, and blessed to be make pretty faces for the Fashion Show.

Here's some of the pictures:

It was a lot of fun! :) Love the hair-dos, the make-up and the dresses... Oh, so lovely!

M.A.C. Pro Master Class Bridal Beauty with John Stapleton

Last Sunday, November 6th, I attended one of M.A.C. Pro's Master Classes. This one is Bridal Beauty with Senior Artist John Stapleton. It was held at Los Cerritos Shopping Center and run from 8pm-10pm.

I am very much interested in this class since it would be a good refresher for me, plus I get to see and learn the techniques a Senior M.A.C. artist uses to create magic on brides. John have worked in NY/LA/London Fashion Week, have done makeup for numerous celebrities, magazines,ads and much more. John's lecture and demo went on very smoothly and really educational. All questions from the participants were answered and given good explanation. He is down-to-earth you wouldn't be shy about asking questions.I really learned a lot.

After the class, I took the chance to introduce myself. We only had a short chat, since it was almost 11pm. And yes, we took pictures. Nobody was available that time (they're all busy shopping their bridal kit must-haves) so we took the honor of taking pics of ourselves.

here it is:

It was great meeting him. He and his work is such a wonderful inspiration. :)

This photoshoot was done to help us in our portfolio for Bridal Makeup Work. I would love to be able to cater more to the Bridal Industry and be able to show them professional images of what I can do.
