Basement Academy, 2008

My Graffiti make up interpretation

I remember discovering the world of make up at the tender age of 9. I would go through my mom’s dresser and experiment with her lipsticks, blushes, foundations and creams that I absolutely have no idea of at that time but stirred my interest way too much so i dabbed, puffed and blushed my way to the different palette of colors that waked my artistic inclinations. Growing up, I was always fond of colors and even tried my hands on painting using different mediums like watercolor, color pencils, and oil pastels. I just remember excelling in coloring more than drawing and find myself the go-to-girl when it comes to make up during plays, school dances, night outs and parties. I finally took formal classes in 2008 in Basement Academy and voila, one of my favorite creations during our graduation class. I also included some of my favorite looks that I did for a friend. I look forward to sharing my other passion and maybe one day become an alternative career..

This make up was inspired by a lot of Shu Uemura pegs

Fashion Police Shoot

One of my dearest friends, Mini Campos has her own line that sells through multiply (http://yourfashionpolice.multiply.com/) and we offered to style and shoot her collection last year. A creative bunch, my other friend Chester photographed and doubled as a co stylist and hair person as well. Here’s some of our favorite looks.
