I apologive for the lapse in update, but the makeup world has been a little slow for me. However, last Saturday I got an opportunity to beat the face of a wonderful recording artist and person who is becoming a good friend of mine.
Chaquis Maliq...please go to her website here: http://chaquismaliqsworld.ning.com/
has an amazing voice and great songs. If you go to her site, the artwork in the beginning is my graphic design...yep I do that too.
So I had to drive all the way to Bumtown aka Baltimore to not only drop off cd covers and bookmarks I designed, but to make up her face. When I finally get an opportunity to do her makeup (she was running around like a chicken all night) she was getting interviewed on camera...which means I was on freakin camera! Did ya'll knowI hate being on camera? Well I do.
Then I discoverd just how much I needed a brush tool belt. *Christmas Gift Alert* I keep all of my brushes in a little zip up bag, but when I go to retrieve the brush I need I have to rifle through all the brushes...and I have ALOT of brushes. So be it very unprofessional, I dumped all the brushes out on the floor so I could see them...sigh, I hope my teacher never reads this.
Anyway, although Ms. Maliq was a pain (i hope she reads this lol) and was trying to fight me about her makeup all the way, I think it turned out lovely. I didn't want to go too overboard on her face because she's not a makeup wearer, I just wanted to enhance and glam up a just a bit. Of course she was opposed to getting lashes...
I know by now you've scrolled down to see pictures and have discovered there are no pictures. Listen, this is what had happened. I go to turn on my camera and the batteries are dead. But never fear there were several photographers there and I plan on contacting them to get a good shot for my porfolio and this blog. You'll just have to be patient.
In other news, I ordered my business cards. And I tweeked them slightly from what you all saw, but they essence is still the same. My only complaint about the cards is the size of my contact info is too small and hard to read. So I'm going to fix that and reorder.
Oh yes, In even more exciting news, I'll be working at a salon event on Saturday November 21st. It's a Pamper Me Day at Sophisticated Elegance Hair Gallery at 7045 Berry Road #A6 in Accokeek, Maryland. We'll be doing $20 makeovers from 11am to 2pm. So if you're in the area, please stop by and get your face beat!
Ah...update. Ms. Maliq blessed me with a pic via facebook! Here she is...makeup looking fierce. Ask About Me. Thanks.
