I did my mama’s make-up yesterday for a wedding:
My mom with her still unopened bottle of Estee Lauder Green Tea that I got her in HK. Doesn’t my mom look cute? You wouldn’t think she’ll be 60 years old in a few weeks. Here’s her dress:
I can only hope to look that good when I’m her age!
Anyway, I always do my mom’s make-up for her events (like this one for her doctorate graduation). It looks washed out in the pictures, but I think her make-up looks good in real life, if I may say so myself.
I really do enjoy making people’s faces up, even if right now those faces are just my mother’s and my sister’s. And I do believe I have some skills with it, considering that I didn’t have any training (unless YouTube videos count) and I don’t have the right tools. I can do so much more if I had the training and the tools.
I finally — finally! — enrolled in make-up school and will start next week. This is something I have always wanted to do but I had too many excuses for not doing so, number one of which is that it’s expensive . Well, I’m throwing all my excuses out the door, even if it will eat all my savings up. Abet will help me with the expenses.
I want to make a career out of this. God knows I’m willing to work hard and learn as much as I can and to sacrifice. My friend Bunny who also went to the same make-up school has already given me clear picture of the harsh reality of trying to make it in this business. Bring it on.
The next three months will be very exciting, but very scary as well, but if there’s one thing I’m sure of, I know I’ll end up much better at putting on make-up than I am now.
And I can make my mom look even more gorgeous than she already does.
I love my momma’s cooking too much.
