Evening Look ~ Make Up Class

Hey guys! Some of you might know that I currently am on a course at college doing Beauty Therapy Sciences Level 3, first year! In this course we learn all sorts of salon treatments; manicures, pedicures, massage, eye treatments, waxing and make up! On Fridays, we are doing make up at the moment and this Friday, we practised an evening look. Now, we take turns every lesson, so some lessons I am the model and others, I am the MUA!

This Friday I was the MUA and my lovely friend Alison was my model! I decided to go with a slightly bronze look, building up browns of varying shades and a touch of black in the corners. It's not too out there, but its stand out enough to be evening make up!! On her lips I mixed a coral shade with a sheer pink over the top and a touch of highlighter on her cupids bow.


We have to practise coverage and techniques, so we apply concealer, foundation, shader and highlighter, blusher/bronzer, eye shadow, eye liner (which I used a touch of on the outer corners), mascara, eye brow pencil and lipstick. Applying make up on some one else is harder than it looks, but I think I did well with this look and its fun doing it!! Next week some one else is working on me, so you will get a photo of my face and what ever she does to it, haha ;)

The kit we uses is a college kit; S Colour Salon System

What do you guys think of my make up look and have you ever applied make up to any one else? How did you find it?

Do you like reading?

Hey guys! Sorry its been over a month! I've been for ever busy with college and all sorts! I have also been very lazy and low on energy, so forgive me for that!

Now, to the subject of this blog post!



As some of you might know, I like to write, mainly fantasy stories! I write a lot of different ones, but at the moment I am focusing on one certain project, called High School Horrors, which I started in 2009. It's currently made up of 23 'parts' and is still going. The reason it is in parts is because I write as I go along and upload a bit and a bit each time, on deviant art! Now, like most things in my life at the moment, HSH took a break for a couple of months, just like my blog and drawing and every thing else. But it is now BACK and I have promised myself to focus on it more! I am writing this blog entry to introduce you to the story a bit and just to see if any of you are willing to give a bit of time reading an amateurs work! Since it's split into parts, you don't have to read it all in one go, but a bit at a time!


High School Horrors is about a group of four friends who end up at a weird school at aged 18. Here they learn the truth about the world, and themselves; magic is real and they are very much part of it. Several different races live on the planet, hidden as humans, and a whole need world, an alternate world, is accessible to those who know about it. Unfortunately, that's not the only thing new to our heroes. A terrible enemy, soldiers made of pure darkness, invisible evils and even the undead are what they have to fight against in a tale of fantasy, magic, love and discovering who you really are. And sometimes, that is not a good thing.

Also, I would LOVE to hear feedback from those who do read, so feel free to leave a comment here, on Deviant Art or on the facebook page!! I love all comments, as I hardly ever get any to do with my writing!

Do let me know what you think <3 This project is my creative baby!
