Me and Erika, my mentor, discussed what I learned from the videos I had watched over the two days, which I explained that it was very interesting and I was excited to start creating looks. After a while of talking, we did that we finally got to play around with the make up. She wanted me to learn the basics; blending, adding more color, making small details and so on. We didn't do much special effects today but just regular beauty make up. I did a really natural look as she called it which just meant that the make up didn't look so bold but it looked as if no make up was placed on. They're are many make up looks but to start off with, we decided to do something simple and easy. After the look was complete I was surprised to see that it was actually pretty easy to place the make up and it kind of came naturally. On the eyes I chose to use to colors one was a gold and the other was a light brown. I placed the gold on the eyelid and then added the light brown in the crease of her eye to give it deminsion and finally blended all the colors to make it more natural. The hardest part of putting the make up on was doing the eyeliner, it was difficult to "wing" it out and make them look as even as possible. It took me a while to figure out what I was doing but got the hang of it. After I fixed the eyeliner the eyelashes were next which Erika said it was the most important part, adding on eyelashes was quite difficult also and took a couple tries but I got then on. I decided to go with a light pink lipstick since the look was supposed to be natural. After I was done Erika had told me I did a pretty good job but needed some more practice blending out the colors and adding eyeliner. But I learned the steps of what everyday makeup is and would practice on my own. Our next visit would be a week from today and during I would practice on myself.
