Bridal Makeup 101

To supplement my makeup skills, I decided to enroll in Bridal Makeup classes also offered by Maquillage Professionnel. I wanted to further enhance my skills in bridal makeup since module one only allotted 2 days for this look and I think I'll be needing more than 2 days if I wanted to be good at this. I needed mooooooore practice and here are the bridal looks I created in the 5 day course. Bridal makeup is about enhancing the bride's face, she should look like herself, correct that her best self on her big day! Here are the looks I created, let me know what you think! If you want tot have your own makeover hit me up!

Day 1 was more about doing basic day bridal makeup

Day 2: Night bridal makeup, we focused on eye liner flicking on this look

Day 3: was focused on creating the perfect complexions

Day 4: Bridal Smokey Eyes

Maquillage Professionnel Graduation

I've long wanted to go to makeup school and after years of putting it off, weeks of putting aside work to go to class, I finally did it! I'm done with basic makeup and there's even a certificate to prove it!! yay!!

For our last day we were asked to do the look we had difficulty in doing, I ended up doing bridal again just because I wasn't very happy with my first bridal look. Here's my "bridal graduation look"

My fresh, glowing bride!

 

The mandatory closed eyes to see the effect!

Now on to the graduation photos! 

That's my no makeup face with my makeup teachers

Me with my batchmates

Ms. Mikee is so good at wacky pose! emote kung emote!

So what's next for me?! Will I go pro and make a living out of makeup? Maybe in the future (pag may K na ako!! haha!), I'm taking small but sure steps, but honestly, I still don't know. Makeup excites me, it's something I enjoy doing and something that simply makes me happy. I'm just taking in every bit of information and making the most out of the experiences that come my way. 

For now my goal is to put on as many pretty faces as possible! Want to join me in my journey? hit me up anyacreyes@gmail.com :)

Maquillage Professionnel: Day 9 & 10 Bridal Makeup

Days 9 & 10 were all about bridal makeup! Who doesn't love weddings?! I was a bride once upon a time and boy, it was indeed a roller coaster ride. Bridal makeup as simple as it looks takes into account so may considerations: time, venue, theme, gown, bride's preferences etc, etc and therefore should also entail preparation, patience and communication with the parties involved. We were taught to do 2 bridal looks, the classic look which enhances the bride's features without totally altering the way she looks and a second look which suits edgier brides who are willing to put on that extra drama.

Whatever look the a bride chooses she should be fresh, glowing & beautiful! A good makeup artist should help the bride feel her best in the biggest day of her life! Here are my bridal looks as done on Maquillage's in house models:

Look #1: Classic Bridal Look 

Very simple barely there

fresh & glowing just like how brides should look

Look #2: Arabian Eyes Bridal Look

Subtle cats eye for the extra drama

Perfect for evening weddings or for second looks

I'll end this post with my very own bridal look almost 4 years ago, this was done by my MUA using conventional make up, because airbrush was unheard of then!
