This past Saturday marked my first actual "makeup artist"-esque job. Woke up at 3:30am, and by 4:30am I was nervous but ready to go. Vanessa picked me up to be her wedding makeup "intern", and after a quick stop at Timmy's we were off to the bride's house!
I'd like to say that I was completely prepared for my task, seeing as we had just learned the art of foundations and concealing in class on Tuesday, but the first thought in my head once we stepped into the house was, "How the HELL am I gonna pull this off?" All I had to do was bases, as in, concealing and applying foundation, but I've never used a liquid foundation and it's not like it was practice in my practical class, IT WAS A WEDDING!!!!
I'd like to think I did a pretty good job though, I was particularly proud of how I made one of the bridesmaids look absolutely flawless. I don't mean to offend, but she had a little bit of an acne issue. I completely covered it; that's my proudest makeup moment to date! We only really worked with the bridesmaids since the bride, her mother & her Maid of Honour were done in traditional Chinese wedding makeup. I was really nervous so I couldn't really make conversation, plus it was still 6 in the morning so the event wasn't as social and upbeat as it could have been. I'll get used to that though.
So by 8am we were finished for the day and I went home to sleep for a few hours before Vee came over for our wedding dress excursion.....but more on that in another post.......
