Update!!! + Exciting news!!

Oh my gosh I feel like I've been neglecting my blog so much and I hate it but school has been soooo busy! We've just gotten into playing with the make up this week and I've been so excited but it is a lot of work! For anyone that has said that doing a make up course would be easy, they should try it out themselves because it totally isn't! We are also into face maps at the moment and I decided that I was just going to copy the MAC face map and copy it onto textured paper so I can actually put make up on it without it sliding off. This is the blank MAC face map for anyone that is interested.

I've also started going to the gym again! I plan on losing weight before my sister's wedding in September and I thought I'd give myself some time to do it. I want to get down to a size 8 (I'm not sure how the sizes go in America but I think this is a size 2 or something there?) and just tone up and be healthy again. I can't afford to get sick at the moment! :P

===========================

On another and exciting note, I think that I may have a possible wedding to do in April! Yes I do realise that I wouldn't have graduated by then but I do know this person (she's a friend of my sisters and she knows that I am still in school and still practising and she is definitely cool with it!). I am sooo sooooo nervous just because she will pay me (not a lot obviously) but I will be doing make up for her and her bridesmaid! This is my first possible client! Weird as it sounds but I am freaking out about the foundation situation! Obviously I am still new at all of this so my kit is like non existent in the foundation department other than my own colours and even that, I'm not sure if it is suited for a wedding. I have heard a lot of good things about the Estee Lauder Double Wear and also the MAC Face + Body Foundation but I'm still looking around to see what is best. I would love to get a Make Up Forever HD foundation but I can't get my hands on it at the moment and selecting shades not in person would be hell for me. Does anyone have any good recommendation for a good bridal foundation? Any that you have used on a bride or even in your own wedding if you did the make up yourself? It would mean so much to me if you guys can help me because gosh am I freaked out!

I will definitely update you guys on everything that is happening, I promise! I just feel so happy right now because as busy as I am, I'm doing something I love and it doesn't even feel like a chore like university used to feel. To those of you who is scared to do what you love to do because of maybe you think it won't make you enough money, or any other reason, JUST DO IT! You won't look back to regret it I promise! Seriously, I don't think I've been this content ever in my life and I actually feel like I'm going somewhere, I have a plan about where I want to go in life and what I want to do and I'm sticking to it!

Thank you all so much for being super patient with me, I know I posted up the Kim Kardashian photos for you guys to vote on and I promise that is coming as soon as I have a little extra time! I hope you guys are all well!! *BIG HUGS*

  9. aw, well you're going to school it's okay if you don't have a job :) I am just lucky to even find one in this economy.. LOL! But then again my job doesn't take very much skill! I need to go on a diet and start working out.. I am a size 3 over in america and my tummy is starting to look kind fluffy! LOL :X

    Just do everything while you're motivated because once you're not, you'll probably be really lazy like me!! haha

  10. so happy for you babe! <3 though i do miss your fotd posts alot. hmm ive good things about the MUFE face & body although i havent tried it myself. i have the MUFE HD fdtn and it is LOVE. you really should give it a try! Besides that, maybe try NARS sheer glow and Giorgio Armani LSF? I find that its important to use a non SPF foundation when photographing.

    That's awesome that you're seeing weight loss results! I am in the middle of a "diet" myself. I'm just trying to eat better and less! It's not fun! LOL!
