Summer colors!
Hello dear community, today I decided to participate in the initiative of dear @lucianav something that excites me a lot because this community is one of my favorites and I love to see that it is reviving after a terrible storm that shook everything.
For my entry to this initiative I chose the hard way (at least for me) and wanted to go for a social look with shades I don't usually use, as I wanted to participate with something opposite to what I usually do and show that we can adapt to various styles and create different things, I like to have variety of styles and make up one day social and the other an artistic makeup, both techniques seem amazing to me and not easy at all.
Personally I love cold colors but this time I decided to make a combination with colors that I almost never use because the truth is that they are not my favorite, despite that I loved the result, I will answer some of the questions of the initiatives during the process images I hope you like it!
My beginnings in makeup came since I was a teenager, because I always liked to make up and although at that time I only wore black makeup, I followed some trends of my "dark" style, practically I always make up with black eyeliner or black eyeshadow covering all my eyelid, after becoming a mom, I spent a couple of years without touching any makeup, the truth was quite busy with taking care of my baby and I left everything aside, my passion for makeup revived about 3 years ago when I decided to enter in Hive, one day it just occurred to me that it would be great to start to make up like a horror movie character, by then my material was scarce, I really made up with cold paint mixed with cream and it was terrible hahaha, then Makeup power was born and everything changed, I decided to make an effort and improve my techniques and materials, little by little I could buy everything I have now, and every day I learn something new, although the world of makeup is something quite complicated because it evolves really fast, every day we see new trends, techniques and new products, it's too much!
Although today I present a social makeup, which I like very much, I would say that my favorite style is the artistic, because I feel more free and comfortable painting things on my face and chest, it is a big job but I feel that it is easier than the social makeup, plus the idea of representing a character or some makeup that represents art for me is really exciting, I love how I can transform my face into something completely different just using body paint.
As I mentioned I would like to master both artistic and social makeup, however, social makeup is still something quite difficult for me, I still find it difficult to proportion my eye well at the time of makeup, such as making a cut crease or something like that, I have learned little by little to do better but it really is complicated, Another thing that is very difficult for me is the eyebrows, I feel that my eyebrows are too low and that limits even more my work space, I have even thought about shaving them completely, but I know it would be a big mistake HAHAHAHA, I would like to learn to manage better that technique in my eyes and eyebrows to work a little easier and more comfortable.
Well what I would love to see is more initiatives like these and contests, because the truth is sometimes we do not know what to do and that would help a little to have new ideas, I would love to see challenges of social makeup, artistic, trends or crazy challenges like makeup with a single product, it would be great to see that.
it would also be amazing to see more support from other communities or curators, because this is a very difficult job, it's not just about sitting down, putting on makeup and feeling "Pretty".
Well, I already answered all the questions and now I will tell you something about me that I have said in some opportunities, the makeup for me is quite important and it is not that it helps me to drain my stress or sadness, for that I use the drawings, but the makeup helps me in some way with my self-esteem, because I am a person who has always had a very low self-esteem and I am quite insecure, instead, with the makeup I feel more beautiful and I am impressed as I can improve those things that I do not like about my face, although for the day to day I do not usually use makeup, doing it as a hobby is quite therapeutic for my self-esteem, plus it makes me happy to learn more every day, I am a person who can set out to learn something and achieve it, although in the process I suffer a lot, I continue to be happy with my work, today I feel good because I thought this makeup would be ugly for the colors I use, but the truth is I loved it, once again I learned that I must trust the process haha, thanks for reading and I hope to participate again in another initiative.
