Makeup I did for my friend Corinne

My friend was going to a prom the other day and asked me to do her makeup.  This was the first time I've been payed to do makeup, and besides the eyelashes, it turned out alright.  From this experience I have learned that not only do I prefer to do my own makeup, but I am much better at just doing my own.  It wasn't horrible, and I know that with practice it could get better, but I have realized that I do not want a job in makeup at all.  So I guess I'll stick to blogging about it, because I still love it for myself!




On Corinne I used a coral eyeshadow from Inglot, along with various brown Urban Decay shades, MAC Blacktrack gel liner, false lash pieces that she brought (that proved to be a bit of a challenge), Tarte Lights, Cameras, Lashes Mascara, Revlon Colorstay foundation, concealer from a Coastal Scents palette, Tarte Blissful Blush, and Inglot Lipstick #106.

Afterthought: I wish I'd contoured her more, filled her brows in a bit more, and took much more time for the eyelashes.  Also, I wish I'd actually asked her what she wanted, because I'm pretty sure she didn't like wearing lipstick (she didn't have it on in a picture).  Asking would have been a good idea, and if I ever happen to do someone else's makeup again, I will make sure I know what they really like.

This was definitely a learning experience.
