Since beauty bloggers, make-up artists (MUA) and the the talk of lipstick colors could we hear from a far, it became an omen that "make-up and beauty" are on demand. It's not only about demand, it's about being fancied, loved, the topic that should be talked. I honestly don't know anything about make-up thing. Skin care? Well, a bit, such as facial wash since I knew how pimple and acne could be very irritating. Make-up? Totally blinded. But, as far as I see, woman around me put make-up, except the one who had major influence on my, my mom. She doesn't put any make-up since she has allergies. As I grow up, I fascinated by it. Circa 2012 I started to get to know foundation, face powder, blush-on, and eyeliner. That's it. I didn't really know how to put it right on my face, the function, the kinds of, the type.
Today, women are more and more awakened by the need of make-up, not only how to put it on face. They find out about choosing the right one (as important as finding life partner, spouse, best friends, you named it), the formula contained, the skin tone, and so on..
A couple years ago, there's no Sephora in Indonesia. The closest one is in Singapore or Malaysia. Now, it has their outlets in Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya. WOW! And as the talk about lipstick getting louder, it's easier to find brands from local products to the worldwide ones. Kyle Lip Kit from Kyle Cosmetics could be an example of how can women became crazy over the colors of their own lips.
And this euphoria has an impact on me. I have a thought that "woman should take a beauty class," it's not to become make-up artist, or to put make-up on face every single time. It's about having skill to make-up their self when they couldn't make an appointment with their personal MUA and in the other side they should present their self in "appropriate" way. It doesn't have to be thick make-up and using the hard techniques. As we know that nowadays the natural make-up become a trend. Maybe 50 years ago, in Ibu Kita Kartini era, making hair bun is a skill that must have. But for now, skill to making eyebrows looks presentable is must.
Lucky me! I have friend that profession as MUA and she owns her beauty shop #womanpreneur. It really fad, I asked does she teach beauty class, since I have thought about make myself have this skill. And turned out, she does. She does it professionally, so we agreed on the cost I must paid first. Basically, for me, it's not pricey remembering her words that she wanted her students could do their own make-up. "You must can do it yourself, cause you already learn from me." Many of you may can learn from tutorials on Youtube, and bet many of you success do yours. In my case, it's doesn't work as I want. It's really different between watching on screen and learn directly, I had to many questions to ask.
Thanks to my friend, now I know how to differentiate brushes, making my own brow, and playing some colors by her guide. If I can make suggestion, I think every woman should at least have the basic capabilities to do self make-up.
by her guide
by myself, but she bit guided me too ;p
