Makeup Fun!

A quick update on the makeup artistry situation. 

I had my first lesson/class on Friday night and it was AMAZING.

Being there reminded me even more of how much I love makeup and how much I want to be able to work on makeup being a part of my future career.

I always thought that maybe going to makeup school wasn't as important as the experience of doing makeup but I kinda realized that even as an established makeup artist, you can always go back and relearn the basics. Kinda like the old "learn, unlearn, relearn" cycle. It made me realize that I do want to be trained by some of the world's leading experts in makeup! 

For now, I am happy with the Friday night classes (5 more to go!). I will be saving up my dosh in order to begin classes with MUFE in the fall.

Anyhow, quick recap. We were taught how to create a perfect base with foundation, concealer and contouring. I even got praised by the instructor saying that I made my sister's face look really natural and yet made up at the same time!

Life is good right now :) Heading to the library later to pick up more makeup books. Can't wait for my books to arrive in the mail soon!!


Peace lovelies!

Crown Brushes

Up until recently, my dreams of becoming a Makeup Artist (MUA) have been in the backseat thanks to graduating, finding a job and earning the money to buy myself an MUA kit. Well, since working, I've attended some makeup workshops and I am starting to buy myself a quality kit. 

No one likes to spend spend spend their hard earned money on just anything, which is why I love it when you get promo codes! 

Check out the Crown Brush 15 Pc Pro Set w/ Designer Case.

The original price is USD43.99 but by using the promo code KANDEE, you get the entire brush set for USD29.99 (~SGD39.99) which includes free continental U.S. shipping! The shipping to Singapore depends on how much vPost will charge me but I figure it'll less than SGD20.

The brush set includes:

Chisel Powder • Chisel Blush • Angle Blush • Foundation

Angle Blender • Oval Shadow • Blending Fluff • Flat Liner

Concealer • Lash Fan • Brow/Lash Groomer • Angle Liner 

Oval Lip • Mini Smudger • Round Crease • Faux Reptile Case

The brushes were highly recommended by Kandee Johnson, one of the best MUAs on YouTube. She likes these brushes even more than the ones by MAC and that is saying something!


I watched a video of hers recently and it provided the promotion code for the brushes and I thought, "Well, WHY NOT?!". I trust Kandee's opinion and the brush set is filled with 15 basic brushes that every MUA should have. 


There are 3 different brush sets to choose from, all with the same brushes. The only differences being the ferrules and handles of the brushes and the designer case that the brushes come in. 


I picked the bronze metallic ferrule with a matte black handle and a bronze faux reptile case. The other options include a black faux reptile case with glossy black ferrule and glossy red handles or a fuschia faux reptile case with glossy black ferrule and matte black handle. 


I can't wait to start doing makeup with these! I am particularly excited about the Lash Fan brush!


I'll post a review of the brushes when I get them!


Peace lovies!
