Anatomy of make-up schooling....part deuce!

O.k., so I got my beauty sleep and feel most refreshed and my feet have slimmed back down to their normal size this morning! Woo-Hoo!!! So AGAIN, as I sit here in this quant little hotel room, enjoying my most wonderful cup of java kicked back in my bed....which by the way ROCKS, down comforter and all, I will continue telling you about my venture!

So, these two cutie pies introduced themselves to me outside the Award School and we chit-chatted for a bit while waiting for the school to open. I was so stinking nervous, I'm out of my element here and I don't want to screw this up ya know? A very "put together" lady came to the door and let us in, and I saw makeup chairs lined up on each side wall, makeup lights, mirrors, and the most beautiful makeup cases in the world!!!! Oh sweet Jesus, I wanted to dig into those, but withheld my child like Christmas morning enthusiasms and sat my butt down in a chair. The first part of the day consisted of endless note taking on the in's and out's of "the Biz", what to wear, how much to charge, insurance, taxes, and all the different types of work just waiting to be had out there!

We then broke for lunch and all us girlies headed out and hoofed it down the street to "Porto's", great place for lunch!!!! Sooooo, when we returned we FINALLY got to open those ever so sweet makeup cases, we were all like kids in a candy store! They were stocked with all kinds of media friendly makeup, oh my Lord and beautiful makeup brushes, palettes and all Im gonna need to take over the world!!!!

Also sitting there were full airbrush equipment...can you say "airbrush love"....I finally have a gun that Im not afraid to operate! But how the heck and I gonna get this stuff home????? Anyway, we played around and familiarized ourselves with our kits and the airbrush systems then moved onto "eyebrows". We learned the different styles of eyebrows from way back in the 1920's to what's current now....we then experimented on each other and "fixed" our eyebrow problems! FUN!

Yesterday we were full forced into using our airbrush equipment, stenciling patterns on our bodies, airbrush tanning, tattoo cover up, and contouring!! Such an informative and hands on day!!!!! LOVED IT! Today will be a doozie!!! We are going to be in charge of our own models, from dress, to makeup, to picking the correct background for photography. We will then proof our photo's on Friday and pick the best and most wonderful ones to start my portfolio!!!! OMG......nerves DON'T BE THE DEATH OF ME!!!! Send your love and support my way today girls.....I'm so gonna need it! More to come tonight, that is of course if I'm not exhausted by then.......... MUAH!!!!
