Practice makes perfect and my brief career in Modeling!

Yesterday, I practiced my make-up skills on my lovely friend, Grace, but I was preoccupied with my hair, and didn't post an entry on it!!! Sorry, Grace! >.< Anyway, much thanks to her for volunteering her wonderful visage to my artistry!

The lighting is a little difficult, but I basically did a brown smoky eye on her.

Also, just for the fun of it, I decided to post a few of my old modeling pictures...

This anime doll look was from the Emilie Jerard fashion show I did in 2008. Woooo hoooo.

The top two are from my first modeling shoot ever. The makeup was INTENSE. I remember I had never worn so much makeup in my life. It felt like it was 6 layers thick, and took an eternity to wash off. Now, I only wish I was that good at makeup. I worked with was Ashanti Ortiz for my make-up, aka FacingBeauty on www.modelmayhem.com, and she is a true artist. The make-up from my anime doll shoot was done by LadyJ, which is also incredible, and showed me how to use airbrush foundation.

My (minimal) background in modeling really stirred up my curiosity in make-up, and how amazing the transformation from bare-faced to done-up can be sometimes. So, I figured I'd show you guys what I saw. :)

Love always,

Andrei
