Re: My forays into the world of eye makeup.
I will be doing bridal makeup.
The problem is…in my area…there are no such courses. We have makeup courses but they don’t focus on desi-style bridal makeup application. In fact, one certified makeup artist I spoke to about teaching at my salon was telling me how she has to convince most of her clients to wear eyeliner. Ummm…who doesn’t wear eyeliner? Her clients are mostly non-desies…that’s why.
Another issue is that people do not like to share. We have some great MUA in our area that do amazing bridal makeup but why would they teach me? Its a sad reality.
So I have to resort to crash courses on youtube, extensive amounts of practice, etc to teach myself. I do about 3-4 people every single day (my sisters, best friends, etc)…I go through tons of product but its worth it if I can eventually deliver what clients want.
Its been a lot of fun…posting here, getting feedback and being guided by everyone. You guys are amazing…it helps me so much. My hand doesn’t shake as much, I can control the brushes better, etc.
