Finally, I have started to teach makeup at the Center for Aesthetic Studies (formerly ICI Training Center). I have always considered myself blessed and lucky to have found a job I love doing. They say when your work is something you love, it never seems like a job. Every experience is something new, you learn new things about the task at hand and about yourself and you always strive for perfection. I still get butterflies in my tummy before a gig and that's a good thing. I still get excited and nervous, hence I always say a little prayer before I dive into my makeup kits and create something beautiful (when all else fails, prayers are my miracle workers). I have always been generous when sharing what I know. I do not claim I know everything and I do make mistakes but the things I share, I have learned and delt with firsthand. I believe that what you give, when done out of the goodness of your heart, will always come back to you in more ways than one. Besides, I love makeup so much that it gives me joy when I see clients and friends perk up with a little touch up here and there (I even go as far as shopping with clients and students). The goal is to love who you are, embrace your God-given beauty and enhance it, not change what you have that people won't recognize you. Makeup is fun. Experiment with different looks and colors. It's really trial and error and sticking to what works for you (or creating a variation of the trend you wanna try). Practice. And blend, blend, blend. If it doesn't work out, that's what the makeup remover is for. Rome wasn't built in a day. Neither are the perfect makeup techniques.
