So … I’d done the course, got the certificate, made some awesome and supportive makeup artist friends – where did I go from here? Well the answer was no-where fast as it was now the 1st week of December, which as I’m sure you can imagine, in pharmacy life is pretty hectic – prime season for dishing out antibiotics as well as the ‘Christmas Rush’ starting as soon as the GP surgery print on the back order by …
That and Christmas preparations meant that I really didn’t have time to think about setting up my makeup artist business too much, though I did start doing some research into what I would want / need in my kit, on the course we were given a kit list but also had an overwhelming amount of makeup to play with at the studios

For personal use I loved the Nars sheer glow, absolutely gorgeous, but it’s not really so practical for a kit as is in glass bottles and you have to buy the pump seperately which cost an extra £3 per bottle ( crazy – we NEED a pump Mr Nars!) Continue reading →

So We had reached the last day of one of the most amazing weeks of my life (so far) they weren’t kidding when they called it “intense course” there is so much information to take on board, practice to do and things to think about when setting up your own makeup artist business, was pretty tired and emotional before I even started the day, but looking forward to packing in as much as I could into my last few hours with these awesome girls – not just Sam, Nic and Stacey but all my course mates!

Nic asked if there was anything else we would like to be shown and we all agreed on brows so Nic did a demo on each of us, doing only one brow so our partner had to match it up! Friday was kind of anything goes – practice what you felt needed practice on kinda day 🙂

Pixiwoo Course part 4

Sorry for the delay in getting this post written, but in the meantime I have been using what I learnt on the course to do two photo shoots and also do makeup for a speaker at an event called Who wants to be an Entrepreneur, at which I also did a pitch to 230 people of my business idea for Everyone needs a little Sparkle! More of that amazing week later though!

So … Day 4

I was already feeling a little gutted that this amazing week was coming to an end, I really didn’t want it to! Today was all about Period make up, from Victorian times through to today, Sam read to us from a book about each period, the styles of makeup and icons of that time, For Instance the 1920’s was the Era of the Flapper, Anti prohibition and the Icons of the Age were Mary Pickford, Theda Bard and Josephine Baker. The look was long, arched, extremely thin brows with super dark eyes and lips.

Nic was doing a demo on Stacey whilst Sam was reading to us, one side a modern twist on 1920’s the other side was Classic Hollywood glamour of the 1950’s Continue reading →

Pixiwoo Course – Part 3

Now we had got to day three of the course everybody was way more relaxed with each other, it was scary how fast the days were flying over, I guess it really is true the saying – time flies when you’re having fun, and we truly were! Another of Sam, Nic and Stacey’s friends -Amy came along to help out today as it was going to be way more intense, she is a MUA and trainee midwife!

Day three was “Drag day” now you may think why do they teach that?
But there are honestly good reasons – firstly it pushes you out of your comfort zone, brings out your creative side and teaches you skills that you may need if you go on to work at Fashion week or Strictly for example where things get a bit more flamboyant – for the average job – say Bridal or working on counter (hopefully) you’re not going to be blocking out eyebrows or doing a crazy contour!

So … Stacey was the model again and the first job was to get rid of the eyebrows by using prittstick to flatten them (yes really!) and covering them with a thick concealer, the brow can then be used as the new socket line with the new brow being drawn on much higher.

Then onto the crazy contour – it is way heavier than for anything else you might do, it’s not designed to be part of your every day make up – though personally I loved when it was blended in so much – finally cheek bones in my chubby face!!! image here’s Stacey prior to blending!

Next onto eyes, lips and cheeks – you can get really creative here – use wild colours, glitter on eyes, lips, pink eyebrows – anything you fancy and the bigger the eyelashes the better, you can even put lashes on the bottom, but be careful to use them the right way up!

Obviously if you are actually doing drag on a male it brings up different problems and skills needed to deal with their stubble, it’s probably best to ask them to exfoliate and shave shortly before you start their makeup.
