I'm Back!

So I haven't posted in a long time (Sorry Jenna, I know you've been checking!), but I'm back to fill you in on what's been going on!
So this week was my second week of semester two at college. I had such fun starting special effects and got some very worried looks on the train! We practised bruising alot and I think I have finally got the hang of using modelling wax to make cuts. This was a new thing for me because before the course, I use to only use latex to make wounds, which is very raised and needs alot of covering up and blood to hide the edges properly.

This week we started on theatre makeup - eg. fat and skinny and such. I found it to be rather calming at first as it reminded me alot of painting because there was so much line work and blending. I was really proud of my "skinny/sick" look, but once I tried to do that fat one and didn't succeed straight away, my patience ran out and I think I just went down from there. So I will practice that more on myself at home and try and perfect the art of making people fatter (which I'm sure nobody would truly want! Haha). I had taken some photos in class but they are on my friend's phone so I won't be able to upload it right now, but once i get the photo I'll edit it in here :)

Yesterday I woke up with a terrible cold, unable to go to college because 1) I felt terrible and 2) I didn't want to make everyone else sick considering we are so close to eachother's faces.
We were supposed to do a Ballerina look and then transform it into a more creative Black Swan kind of look. I think I'll just do this at home sometime too as I love the Black Swan makeup!
Today I am still too sick to go to class and I have no idea what I'm missing out on, but I really hate missing out on class! I was hoping for a sleep in this morning, but i was raked in to doing my little Sister's makeup for her dance concert today/tonight. I'm quite excited to go watch tonight, the High School actually have some really talented dancers, so it'll be a nice thing to watch.

I'm a busy girl this weekend and will have lots to update you on once I receive all the photos back. On Saturday I am off to the City to do a BlackMilk shoot on an apartment roof top. I'm really excited for this because I have complete creative freedom and I really love the look of BlackMilk Clothing (Far too over priced for me though! $75 for leggings? I think I'll stick to my amazing $8 thanks)

On Sunday I am off to Baulkham Hills to do makeup on two Male models and one Female model. This is for a short film/photoshoot in between and I'm excited to see how it all turns out. The photographer on the job is a-maaazing, so I can't wait to see how the photos go!

I think that's all I really have to talk about right now. I shall update you all after my hectic weekend.
