It was such a waste since my aunts and my mom LOVE makeup so much that they buy almost every cool makeup there is in the world.  I often find makeup just scattered around and I played with it when I was a kid.  My mom would say… careful!!! Those are very expensive!!! did you know that that single eye shadow alone costs 1,000 + pesos?

aiks…

I was such a tomboy when I was a kid!  I didn’t care about makeup and fashion… all I cared about was playing with my friends, homework, sports and dancing!  I would cry every time my mom would put makeup on me.

Even when I was working I didn’t really put a lot of makeup.  Then I realized that with what I’m doing now, I needed to take up some makeup class.

A friend of mine forwarded this to me an online poster about a makeup class locally.

I was like “What is this? and who is this?” He’s like, “I don’t know, just thought it sounds cool… and you were planning on studying basic makeup right?”

Then I realized that this was perfect… I did not want to study a whole course about professional makeup… I just wanted to know the basics etc… etc… just so that I can apply nicely on myself…

There I went without any makeup and brush and nothing at all… Cielo, my makeup teacher and owner of Oleic Fashion Gallery, lent me some of her stuff for the makeup.  Although, she recommends for her students to bring whatever makeup they have so that she can tell them what to do with what they have.

Anyway, good thing the class also includes some free makeup stuff… it included a liquid eye liner (yaye for this I was planning to buy one), pencil liner, multi-colored shimmer eye-shadow, shimmery eye shadow set for smokey eyes application.

Anyway, to summarize the whole experience – in a day, I went to the class knowing NOTHING… at the end of the day… I knew EVERYTHING I had to know about applying makeup on myself.

I also knew what I can do for the extra makeup my mom had at home :)  Now, I experiment daily and practice on myself… I also need some makeup for the new TV Talk show that I am hosting “Tek Tok TV”.

Cielo also advised me on which kind of makeup and the shades that I need to use if I want to look good on camera 🙂

If you have noticed my pictures and blog posts recently, I have been putting makeup on 🙂 by myself! :D  I love it!
