my 1st official makeup class

It all started with this:

siapa yang tak suka discounts, sale and so on kan?!

Adik dart la yang reccommend website ni. Best gila makan ice-cream gelare murah. Beli voucher dan redeem! 

Husband dart pulak dah asyik gilakan website murah ni.

 Sampai lah one day dia hadiahkan dart 1 voucher ni:

i was like....."thank you abanggggggggggggggg!" 

It was one of my dreams to get an official makeup class, dapat sijil, kalau boleh nak ambik diploma...tapi kerja, budget, kena fikirkan jugak. Kalau nak belajar tinggi lagi, maybe i have to persue my career dalam bidang ni pulak. Kalau tidak rogi besoooooooooooo. So, buat masa sekarang cukuplah sekadar belajar how to enhance the beauty that has been gifted by the almighty. (Tapi kalau malas main redah jaaaaaaaa)

So, the deal was on. I get to redeem a makeup class organized by Malswisse Derma care Training center in empire Subang for just rm50. Bayangkan 3 kelas 50 hengget jaaa?? Sungguh murah. The course is actually worth rm600. wow. Occay, btw, who is Malswisse? Kalau dart tak pegi class ni, i am sure takkan tahu pasal training centre ni. Good job in promoting your company through Groupsmore!

Makeup was invented when the great painters of old realized they could get more women, and some men, to part with their money if they painted facial canvases instead of church ceilings.

Within an atmosphere of dedicated personal attention, expert beautifiers guide up to 10 students per class on transforming fresh-faced day looks into stunning night makeup. Novice painters need not fred if they come unarmed, as makeup gurus provide magic wands and colour palettes from cosmetic deities such as Shu Uemura, MAC, Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder and Chanel, while offering deadly secrets on keeping cosmetic bags updated. 

At the end of 3 tutorials (2-3 hours per class), both English and Mandarin speaking students would have acquired the basics of enhancing their best features. Tutorial topics include: 

• Skincare

• Working with makeup brushes

• Skin tones, foundation selection and application

• Enhancing eye shapes. Eye shadow, eyeliner and mascara application

• Base and powder types

• Face shapes, contouring and blusher application

MAC? Bobbi brown? whoahhh.

 I was very excited to see the list of makeup products which will be used during all lessons.

1st lesson :

Dart lambat! ha ha. Kelas should be starting at 10:30, tapi dart sampai 10:35 fuh fuh. Bila masuk dalam bilik kelas, semua dah sampai, dalam bilik tu ada satu meja besar, white board, satu sudut yang penuh dengan MAC products(whoaaaaaah seperti mahu curikkk) with bobbi brown brushessssss!! Setiap tempat duduk dibekalkan dengan cermin muka, lengkap dengan cotton muka, cotton bud, air satu mangkuk, hairband. Kat tengah-tengah meja pulak ada skincare products from malswisse. Bila dah duduk, makeup guru perkenalkan diri, dan start the lesson! Satu bilik dalam 10 org ja. Masa tu i was the only Malay. phew.

Learning about skincare. Step-step penting dan disiplin yang harus diikuti semasa mencuci muka untuk mendapatkan hasil muka yang licin macam kulit teloq. I actually like their mask most because of the smell of berries was soooooo tempting! Suka gila....then the 2nd product which i like most was the makeup remover! Takda contain oil, 100% from water base. Tapi mak aih....Kalau pakai waterproof mascara kena buat kiraan sampai 100 (letak cotton yang dicalit dengan makeup remover dan jangan gosok mata) baru boleh dapat hasil yang best! Wudda! Takda masa aku ha ha. Aku pulak masa tu pakai makeup aku tipu-tipu ja dah kira sampai 100 gila kot tak larat tunggu heeeee.

Daripada makeup remover, cleanser, mask, scrub, toner, mosturizer semua kena pakai dan makeup guru tu tunjuk practical. Kami pun kena la ulang-ulang, gosok la muka tu sampai cikgu puas hati. Tapi boleh dikatakan lambat la untuk dart dan i think i dun have that much time untuk dihabiskan kat muka. Nak basuh muka pun dekat 2 jam kahhhhh?? oh tidak, anak aku macam mana?? Aku rasa berguna untuk aku sebab cara-cara dan konsep lebih boleh difahami masa kelas. Contohnya, when applying cleanser, kita kena circle movement, sebab nak buang dirt keluar. Kalau apply toner, mask semua kena apply dengan cara lain sikit. Foundation pulak lain cara applynya. Then, sebab apa kena pakai toner lepas cleanser. Banyak technical words lah yang cikgu tu ajar. Tapi nampak gayanya dah semakin lupa ni. Sebab tak catit nota sangat. Banyak og practical work ja.

Sampailah pemilihan foundation yang sesuai dengan muka. One thing yang dart dapat, jangan test foundation dekat tangan, sebab takkan sama colour, sebaliknya test dekat bahagian cheek yang dekat jaw bawah telinga. That is the best colour for us. Dart pun bila test, baru perasan tersalah pilih foundation gelap sikit sebelum ni. tsk. 

Whiteboard yang penuh dengan ilmu ha ha.

Tengok kat corner penuh dengan MAC foundation!!

2nd lesson :

Day makeup. We've used all MAC products. Basic makeup sebenarnya. Rata-rata yang ke kelas haritu tak pernah makeup sebab tak yakin, atau muka bermasalah and whatsoever. Yang menariknya, kami belajar cara untuk buat D.I.Y BB CREAM! i'll post in the next entry lah pasal ni. Tak payah beli dah kat drug store. Kami try apply sebelah foundation dan sebelah muka lagi BB CREAM. The makeup guru cakap Dart lebih sesuai with BB CREAM sebab nampak lebih glowing. Tak taulah, but lama-lama i prefer foundation. BB cream ni moisture dia lebih sikit. 

The best part was eye shadow colour matching. Yang ni memang 1st time tahu technically.

Warna terbahagi kepada 3: WARM, COOL, and NEUTRAL. 

WARM : yellow / green / brown / orange

COOL: red / blue / purple

NEUTRAL : white / black / grey / dark brown

Warna dalam satu kelompok boleh dicampur. Contohnya blue + purple. Yellow + green. Then neutral colour pulak boleh campur dengan warm/cool colour. Contoh : orange + dark brown, Green + black... Warna warm tak disarankan untuk campur dengan cool colour kecualilah dengan skill blending yang baik! So kalau nak basic2, apply satu kelompok ja...

So, lip colour dan cheek colour kenalah bersesuaian dengan colour di atas. 

WARM : brown / orange

COOL : pink / red 

NEUTRAL :  any colour

Make sense kan?

Lama dart tak colour eye brow bagi cantik. So kat situ dart buat practical lebih sikit. Bukan apa, malasssss haha.

Penggunaan brush pun ada belajar. Semua pakai this set of brush. Best gila! 1st lesson lagi dart dah beli this complete set huahuahau.  

complete.
