| My everyday makeup... |
Things all started when I was little - I had a weird stuff about Barbie makeup and all these kind of things. I had tons of makeup palettes but I never thought I will work as a makeup artist one day. At the age of 5 I told my dad: "Look, Daddy - when I grow up, I won't be wearing any makeup. Never. Ever." He said my attitude will change very soon - he was right.
In 2009 my sister asked my mom if she can wear mascara for school and she said yes, and then I asked her if I can wear that too and she said: well, you can try out brown mascara if you really want to.
I started watching a lot of beauty gurus on YouTube, but I was like... "Okey,
they are fine, but I won't do them, because I don't need makeup..." and I remember
fafinettex3's channel was the first beauty channel EVER witch I started to watch.
Sometimes my Mom created a makeup look for me: painted a smokey eye, added glitter liner, a little bit of red lipgloss, but only on birthdays and... Halloween parties...
When I became a 7th grader I started to be more interested in makeup, so I tried out my mom's not really used beauty stuff - lipglosses, eyeliners, eyepowders and I was looking for my old makeup things which I got from magazines. Definetely not a great quality, but I was satisfied with that. I was only wearing makeup on weekends, when I met my friends, but my best friend didn't really like when she saw that I was wearing mascara or something else, so... Sometimes I did that in secret to special occasions. I remember that I started to do my makeup more frequently when 7th grade ended, I used eyeliner and mascara when I was in a camp. But sometimes I was too lazy to put my makeup on and it was also very-very hot and we were like... Sweating all day long, so I decided to.. Stop that! But at the end of summer, when me and my family went to Italy for 2 weeks I asked Mom, if we can buy a liquid eyeliner and a red lipgloss and she allowed us, so I started to learn how to use them and... Seeing those pictures now... I was really silly.
Then 8th grade came, and I started to have serious skin problems and acne. You know, I never really had any acne before, only one or two red spots in a year. But I was exhausted and stressed because as you all know, I had to do my entrance exams and things like that. I started to cover it with concealer and I also bought a few other makeup products like... Eyeliner, small eyeshadow palettes, blush, brushes and mascara... But I only wore them on home-made photoshoots or you know, special occasions like weddings, birthdays and things like that - except concealer, because I had to wear it like... All the time.
I had my skin problems from December to April, for like almost 5 months... And then I decided not to wear concealer anymore because it wasn't helping at all, it came off all the time and I looked like a zombie afterwards... So it was pretty embarrassing and totally awkward, but I remember I never had any red spots on my forehead. Never. Ever.
When spring came I started to wear makeup again... Mascara and eyeliner and my acne had discovered, so I was pretty happy that I didn't need to cover my spots up. I became like a "YouTube beauty guru-fan", because I started to be seriously interested in this beauty-stuff, so... I knew almost everyone of them. I got my first and real-big eyeshadow palette from Claire's after I don't know... My drawing-exam, I think and I started to create a lot of cool and colorful looks, people asked me to do their makeup - my mom, my sister, my friends... (
my first makeup post ever).
I got my makeup done by a professional artist for my farewell ceremony, and this was sooo gorgeous, so I decided to be a professional like her one day.
Summertime came along and my family, my best friend and I travelled to Italy for (again) two weeks and... We did our makeup every night. After that I was too lazy to do that and it was really hot again so I was like... I don't care... I don't have skin problems, black heads or anything, I have almost perfect skin, why should I wear makeup?
When I started to attend high school I was only wearing mascara and a little bit of concealer...
And right now...
You can barely see me without any makeup on. Until I went to the hairdresser's to cut my straight bangs I wasn't wearing eyeliner, but later I thought, hmm, it looks good... Bangs and "winged-out" eyeliner...
And I realized concealer is coming off without powder... And my brows look terrible when they are not filled in with a pencil... So I started to wear more and more products, BUT, I was never ever wearing any FOUNDATION. I just... Don't like it. I only have 5 (different shades) foundations for photoshoots and that's all. Sometimes I don't even put on powder, because it's so unhealthy for my skin, but that's why I do a lot of treatments at home... Every morning and every night there's a really long skincare routine which I have to do, but I don't mind, because I don't have any acne anymore. And I'm happy with that.
And I know, people always tell me that I shouldn't be wearing any makeup because I'm too young, I have nice skin, I don't look that ugly without it (haha)... I feel confident in my body, I love how I look like with (not too much, but enough to give me a healthy and fresh glow) and without makeup on , and it also gives me joy when I do this for myself or for anybody else. :) It's kind of an art, you know... And it can really do magic, change your face... Make you a really different and new person...
Right now that spring is slowly approaching I can get rid of my makeup because (I hope) the weather will be warmer soon, I won't need any blush, because my face will be sunkissed hopefully and I'll have a really natural glow and fresh, healthy skin, and the only thing I will be doing is curling my lashes, because I'm planning to go to a beautician to give me a "long-lasting-mascara-dying", so I won't be wearing any mascara. :)
I'm planning going on a makeup-artist-course, because I want to do this as my job, and I want to have a paper about that - that I finally became a professional and this is like a... Qualification. I still have to learn a lot, I still have to improve a lot, but I won't give up, I'll be practising a lot to make my dream come true.
But if everything else fails... I will always be the makeup artist of HammerGirl, and this is totally enough for me. :)
