So I've confessed here that I am totally clueless when it comes to make-up. I used to just be a powder-and-lipgloss kind of girl and cannot be bothered about any other beauty products before. My philosophy (being a total shoe-addict that I am) was "I don't care if I don't have make-up, as long as I have my shoesss." And frankly, I don't have problem skin so there's no need to cover anything up.
But then, I realized I also want to learn how to apply make-up in case I would be needing it in the future. There's nothing wrong with being a powder-and-lipgloss girl but you have to admit that there are some instances where you really have to be presentable (like job interviews) and all-dolled up (like parties). Besides, how can you not love all those gorgeous colors?
In a little over a year, I am happy and proud that I've already learned (at least a little) how to apply my own make-up, thanks to the beauty blogs I follow as well as the endless magazines I pored into. :D
For the photoshoot I had with my friend and classmate-from-college Karlo for Project Barbie, I did my own hair and make-up. (I am so excited to post the rest of the photos but I do not want to spoil the fun :D)
