HD-Media makeup

So... When you first start something you look at all the possible classes, and or outcomes. That's what I first did with Blush. I went through all the classes I'm gone through and will be going through, and picked out what classes I would like.

Of course it was building blocks and SFX. That's the most important one right !? Them of course Stage which is going to be almost as fun as SFX. 

Well this past two weeks was HD-Media, with the infamous Tania. She's from LA and has been in the business for around 20 years now. Let's get something str8 people. There are very few things in this life I'm afraid of or that out me on edge. Jumping off a cliff with a rubber band, is one example, and spiders of course hair gross me out. Then of course Drill Sergants, and Tania. Lord I swear I was sweating every time one of my makeup went up to get looked at. I know it's crazy but she just has this power to make you sweat.

I'm super excited of course to have had her as a teacher learned a few things, and can't wait to have her again come May. 

When you think HD you think less is more and all the news caster and Kim k all look amazing and flawless, turns out! It's all just caked on. Looks completely different up close from far away. Dancing with the stars, I wouldn't be able to look them in the face, I would laugh or be unable to concentrate due to all the makeup you can see there, but again far away looks amazing.

The power of makeup just blows my mind every time I learn something new. Just like hair I never knew all of this went into makeup. Just wowzee. 

Now this up coming two weeks is going to be that of Bridal Makeup, the light weight, natural brides through the areas of makeup. So this should be super entertaining. There will be a photoshoot at the end of this month again, so that makes it even more exciting. Just need to find another model. Goth(vampire) for the first shoot, and the second will be a natural bride, I'm thinking 1970's hippy. Do any of you have any ideas in a good bridal type?

Well I think that sums this one up. 

With brush, palette, shear and comb, I'll see you next time.

Special Effects

When I started my journey out into the world of beauty, there was one thing I was sure of, and that was I had no idea about anything. May it be hair, fashion, makeup, etc... It was just something I had not really thought about and or learned, with coming from where I come from. 

But here we are 10 years later! And I have been working now in the beauty industry for over three years. And let's just say it's been amazing at the least. Sorry for the side note.

Now this past month was the month of February! Many things happened. My brother is a year older now, I have been married for a whole year, which between you and me is crazy to think, it blew by like night to say it seems, and we did special effects. In my last post I talk about the first week and all the learner info I had. Well there are three more to talk about lol, but that's a lot and I can't remember every detail of those three weeks. But all the special effects are still there in my mind. From the bruising and burns you all seen last post. To the amazing look with a bald cap, old age makeup, laying of hair on the beautiful heave of mrs. Rajneet. To laying in my first foam latex piece. Or watching a battle buddy (military buddy) turned into the undead. 

This past month has just been a huge brain stuffing session. Which I'm so grateful that I was able to have the teachers I had. Julian and Liz where amazing instructors, with a wide verity of knowledge and able to show different techniques, that the other might not know and or just does it differently, the burns are the best visual I could remind you to go look at.

The photoshoot that we had at the end of the month was AMAZING to say the least, the makes we all turned out was so super cool! Just show how creative some people can be when they put their minds to it! But i was sad when the class came to an end. Julian goes back home to his FX shop till the next comes around, and I also don't get all the T about the cast on Face Off, because if you didn't know he is a contestant in the show! Just that good at 25.

So after all that good fun, get messy with blood and cuts, etc... It's now time to head over into the world of media. Yes I'm talking all about HighDefinition HD TV folks. 

With brush and palette in hand I'll see you next time. 

Ps head over to www.makeupwithjay.com to see all the works I have completed so far!

1st Week of SFX

FX Week ONE

First off let me say thank you so very much for coming in out of the weather out there and reading this blog! Again thanks! :D

This past week was the first week, of SFX (Special Effects) or FX, at my School! I have never done anything in the field. I haven't made a mold, i have never applied clay, or 3rd degree. anything of the shorts. But rest assured that after this past i can't wait for the next three weeks!! i have had so much fun! there is so much to know of course, just like all makeup. But with this you need to know how a bruise is made, how to spatter so it looks real, how to make it look like real blood has flown from a wound, or even better how to make a realistic looking burn.

I had no idea what went behind it nor the tricks you can do to make it over the top and amazing looking! I have always enjoyed the FX world. From old school Dracula, to modern style Fx of lets say Underworld. Regardless of the year or genre of FX its all amazing. And as of know at this current moment. This is what i was built for as an MUA. But there is still so much to learn in FX and even in HD, Run-Way, Stage, makeup that i can't of course be sure that this is the only side of the makeup world i want to be in. who knows but its looking like it might be as it super fun and messy as all hell.

   Below is some of the makeups that i have had the pleasure creating! From Bruising, to an ass whopping, to getting your flesh burnt to a crisp, and everything in between. these are all things learned from just week one :D. and sorry if some of them could be considered grotesque. But for those that love the art. your welcome :D well be sure to come back next week and see what I have learned by that time.

and of course just like always. If you have any questions, comments or concerns. just leave them in box below :D !!! thanks again for stopping by!
