I took the weekend mostly off. I brought home all of my makeup with the intention of practicing to make perfect but found myself giving up after a few scars, some socket lines and resorted to cleaning my brushes and organizing my kit instead. Funny thing is, I have a feeling I may have practiced more than most.
Homework for todays class was a pli sheet for both drag makeup and skull makeup. I designed both and was quite pleased with my results and looking very forward to the elaborate-ness that is drag makeup. However, when school starts we are told that, instead of the aforementioned designs, we are to do what is called 'ballet makeup.' I had never heard this term before but as the demonstrations unfolded, I was quite excited as it was the most elaborate makeup we have done yet that could be classified as high fashion.
As the look unfolded, I put more and more effort into making my lines clean, my colors strong and my blending flawless. I am so keen to enter the IMATS fantasy competition in Sydney, however, I need 8-10 strong pictures that will get me one of the 8 spots. I had two and after todays makeup and a mini photo shoot in the hallway, I think I may have three.
Tomorrow we are doing a half face casting. Sounds dreadfully boring, yet interesting. I, hopefully, will have an entertaining story and a few pictures to share.
until then....
