How I turned out to be a concept maker and a designer when needed. :)

We all have our talents right? I don't know a single person who doesn't have one.. so this post is all about ME doing things that I don't really do and I'm practicing for the first time.. but it all comes out naturally and ended really good.

Let me tell you one of the things that I did for the first time..

First is on my sister's wedding, she asked me to do her make-up for her wedding.. and so I did! :) Let me tell you something on how the concept was made, it all started when we picked the gown she'll wear for her wedding. Me and my sister Ash was waiting for her while she's fitting for the gown that she'll wear for her special day. And when we saw her get out of the dressing room, we both agreed that the goddess theme will best suit the gown she's wearing, cause she looks like one when we saw her. Simple but fabulous.. after that, we searched the web and find for some ideas on how to look like a goddess, accessories, make-ups. I watched the ways and got an idea on how to look like a goddess and goddess inspired make-ups on youtube. By the way youtube is the best source for the things that you want to know, there are videos which instructs you step by step how to do it, for those who don't know. It helped in so many ways, so I'm glad there is youtube on the web. :) After finding ideas, we now go out on the market to buy the accessories that she'll need to fit on the theme.

I used L'oreal Paris True Match Super Blendable Liquid Foundation G3 for her,since she's fair I used this blend for her.(Tips: To look naturally, try to blend it to your skin first before you buy, the closest to your skin tone, the better). I picked earth toned colors and shimmers, for the eyes, cheeks and natural lip colors. My sister have a short hair then so we braided her hair then put an extension.
 Here is the result.

She looks lovely right?? :) 

Here's another thing i did, this time it's for my daughter Alyzei. Her teacher listed her name as one of the contestant that will be joining the United Nations Contest at her school, she's representing the country of USA. At first I thought it will be easy for us to provide the costume that she'll wear for the contest since there are available costumes that we can buy at the market. So I went to the place where I can buy and pick the cutest costume for my daughter. But sadly after hours of searching to that place, nothing catches my interest. I didn't like it at all. So I decided to buy a jade green cloth, I'll just sew it for my beloved daughter. I want a liberty costume for her. Here is what I made just for her.

I think when you put your heart to everything that you do, it'll all turn out beautifully, specially if your doing it for the people that you love. I love my sister and my lovely daughter, that's why I want the best for them, and I want to do my best to make them feel so special.

My daughter's event at school will be on October 27, 2010, my next post will be the happenings to that event and I'll be posting the pictures too. Win or Lose I'm a proud mom. I hope she'll get the best in costume award. :)
