ready for the weekend . . .

well, last night marked my second class in makeup school. unfortunately, our makeup kits didn't come in yet, but they will definitely be in by Tuesday... seriously i'm wondering if they are testing my patience - haha. 

my instructor taught us color theory last night... you know, primary colors, secondary colors and complimentary colors. she quizzed us on eye colors and shadow colors: like if you have a blue eye your most complimentary colors are in the orange and yellow area -- meaning peaches and golds will make your eye look bluer... and green eyes more pinks and reds oranges and purples, and so on.

*** soooooo i tried a little something different on the eyes this morning...
a bronzey copper on the outside, creamy gold on the inside & liquid liner.
{i know it's not the best picture. i'll work on that} ***
...i'm diggin it...

it was definitely a helpful lesson, especially when we all received news that our makeup kit wouldn't contain an abundance of lipsticks, but just a few lipstick tints in the basic primary colors... which means WE WILL BE MIXING AND MAKING OUR OWN LIPSTICK COLORS every. single. time. Kinda scary, but VERY cool at the same time. reminds me of painting when i was a kid mixing all those paints...

we also were given a makeup artist to research -- mine was gina brooke. i'll admit i had no idea who she was, but a little research and a few articles later, i realized she is amazing, and does the exact style of makeup i am interested in. crazy huh? 

here is some of her work... seriously stunning.
{yes, she's Madonna's makeup artist!!}
so i guess you could say i'm loving this class so far!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY!!

are you guys doing anything fun this weekend?
