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.

Gotta learn more! Assisting in Makeup for TV Commerical

Hello! :) I am blessed to be able to assist a fellow Makeup Artist Michelle Arcilla last Sunday morning for a TV commercial. She is a good friend of mine, and a good mentor too. 

Me and Michelle

It was my first time to be able to assist in a tv/film set. I have worked in print, bridal, fashions shows and event but have never experienced tv/film work. The location is a cozy home in Brentwood. I learned a lot and I am hoping to learn more in the future. 

Key MUA Michelle gave me chance to work on the actress ;)

Nice weather outside too.

There was pompoms in the set.. hahaha.

After  filming we got hungry and went straight to Seal Beach pier for some good food and drinks at The Hangout. Sunday is so much fun.

 Sorry for the bad quality of the pictures. I forgot to bring a camera so I just used my iphone. ;)

XOXO,

Newspaper Nails

This is my first attempt doing this awesome idea. I maybe late trying this, but still why not right?

I painted my uber-short nails Winter Frost from Revlon. It's a mini-bottle in medium-gray color. I wanted something lighter but do not have any that does not consists of glitters and sparkles, plus I was lazy to mix my own so I used this one.

I can say this is a half-fail. I tried different methods here: 1) dipped a piece of newspaper in alcohol then pat onto my nails, 2) dipped my nails in alcohol then pat on a piece of newspaper, 3) dipped a piece, dipped my nail then pat the paper on. I think the second method worked best. That explains why this art is so uneven, because I kept on testing.

I did not bother redoing them. I figure I will take them off in few days anyways. Maybe soon I will try again and perfect them, and maybe in a summery colored base.

XOXO,

jyz
