Amazing Shoot! Makeup/Portfolio 1-4-12

I am soooo lagging on posting things on my blogsite lately but I know for sure that I will be using this often from now I promise you! I have some huge Updates coming your way! ONE: is that I am starting my Portfolio for MUA so that I can find something out there who will except me and my work! I will be needing more MODELS! TWO: is that I am currently in the move to San Jose, CA to pursue my dream as a MUA! I hope to find what I want there! There are so many job opportunities there and I am super happy to start meeting new people and to get to know the industry that I'll be working with! THREE: as for my youtube videos, I will still be making them but as of right now im on a pause because of the moving situation and the chaos and what not! but I hope to be filming soon!  That is it for my update as of right now!

The pictures that I will be posting up are some that I took from my phone. It might not be the best quality but Im too excited to not be posting anything up!

Last night I couldn't sleep.. sooo I decided to contact my great friend JULIA! She is a photographer in the city where I moved from. I was thinking on finding a photographer here in San Jose but it was going to take too long because I needed one ASAP. I thought of Julia because she needed models for her portfolio also which was the best match ever! I did not expect her to call me back the next day which was today! she said she had 5 girls with her that would be able to model for me! Thank goodness it was such a great timing!! She called me at 2ish pm. started around 4pm and didnt end till 8ishpm! I did the girls' Makeup and was going to do their hairs but it would have taken longer so Julia helped with their hairs and they all came out great!

I dont have all the pictures like I said the photographer has to look at them and edit! it will soon be up asap! I will probably make my blog more of a portfolio for now until I have my own website for them hehe!

Here is my amazing Katie! I gave her a yellow/gold look it's mainly the yellow! I wanted her look to pop out and to have a major dark smokey affect! I also double winged her liner to make it more unique!

 Next runner up is Amanda! she had amazing blue/gray eyes?! not quite sure! lol I wanted her eyes to stand out so I added green eye shadows to her eyes then I smoked that baby out!


 The Next girl is Amy! Truly a Model!!! she's 6 feet but with those 5 inch heels that's major!Im only 5'2-__- im s shorty so she makes me look even shorter!!! ohhh well! she's an amazing girl!
All of the girls got head shots. Im sooo excited to see them!!
 Chloe is the next gal! amazing model I have! I did her makeup and hair! she's also wearing my dress!! hehe I am soo happy I can be apart of this and love making my girls look even more beautiful!
 I did not get the last girl's full face or head shot on my phone but she's carly!! such a gorgeous girl! here are all the 5 girls that I worked on! ahhhh I'm loving each and everyone of them!

I would have never thought of myself loving makeup and being able to work with such wonderful girls. When I was younger as a teenager I was totally the opposite. I was not the best at makeup I only wore eyeliner and always pulled my hair back... but for some reason I started experiencing with makeup 2 years ago when I started making youtube videos. ever since then I LOVE playing and doing other people's makeup! I have been doing them for fun on people but now it's getting to the serious part! I am expanding on my kit and super excited to use all that I have in the bay area! Thanks so much for taking the time to come on my blog and read! I hope you guys will stick with me in my adventures and stories that I will be sharing! I love all of you! you know where to contact me! twitter, instagram, email, youtube, and facebook!
