Just bought a make-up book titled "Making Faces" by Kevyn Aucoin and I never expected that this will be a great great deal compared to the other books that I bought with it at Book Sale in Edsa Central Mall. Who could have thought of finding it there! (along with Phaidon's ARTODAY & FRESHCREAM) Treasure!
I love it! I love him. The book was published in 1999 by Little, Brown and Company. All of his models are his real clients like Janet Jackson, Tina Turner, Tori Amos, Drew Barrymore, Julia Roberts, Vanessa William, Winona Ryder, her Mom, friends, colleagues and many more. His make up guides are easy to follow and his ideas run from basic to conceptual. Even more, he is totally inspiring. Unfortunately, he already left earth and fled as an angel towards heaven. :(
"There are no rules when it comes to make up" is Kevyn Aucoin's beauty mantra. He never entered a formal institution in make up/cosmetology yet he is the best-paid make up artist in history. Therefore, I believe I can do the same. Make up school here in Manila are soooo expensive and I can't really afford to enroll myself for next year's start of classes unless they'll offer me a scholarship. Which is only possible if I can do better than an average enthusiast in make up - which, I don't know yet.
My love for beauty started out in high school. I've dreamed of becoming a Dermatologist so I can pull of my mom's garden of black heads and stretch her sagging skin to make her even more beautiful. My friends would always want me to do their make up for our school programs and their dates - and of course, I always enjoyed it. Now that I know I can live and grow old with just doing make up (after all my challenging yet unglamorous art department experience) - I'm giving myself a great go for this endeavor. Since I am a stubborn dreamy goat (Capricorn here!), I will allow myself to be challenged just how Julie manages to keep herself moving and being inspired by Julia Child. I love that movie. :)
Here's the plan: Every week, I'll schedule a photo shoot for make-up. It'll be a collaborative work with my model, photographer and stylist (ako na rin ata to) regarding Concept and Art Direction. I will give my self a year for this. Hmmm, around 52-53 looks for a year. Period. I'm swearing by the name of my religion, my beloved parents, brother, high school friends, college friends and industry friends. This is it pusit!
First photo shoot is on Monday with my model/housemate/twin Tinz Diaz and his photographer/painter beau Carlo Gabuco.
Isn't fun to prove to the world that The Best Things In Life Are Free? and that All We Need Is Love?
xoxo ;P
