For years I have wanted to pursue MUA School/Training (translation: Make-Up Artist). So as of a week ago, I have started the process - the very beginning, very small teeny tiny babysteps of the process. I'm presently looking for an opportunity to go to school/train, but only with limited availability - weekends only. Luckily, there have been a few (very few) schools that offer weekend only and evenings, about 6pm-10pm. This is hopeful, but I still find myself discouraged by it. The Hubster is very encouraging about it though.
And I'm finding myself not only excited about the professional fashion avenue of make up - can I just say that I'm super excited about avant garde?! I totally am - but I'm also finding the FX make up very exciting too, but that is an avenue I can't see going down (unfortunately.)
So, I am starting a little project if you will, and so far it has helped my mornings go smoother. The project: go through Kevyn Aucoin's books FaceForward and Making Faces and one look (probably in order - I have "Type A" tendencies) per day. Some of them are not going to happen on a normal day though. 2 words: Madame Butterfly. I used my limited supplies and tools to attempt that look for Halloween last year - I was a geisha girl... you can imagine it, I'm sure. It would have come out much better if I hadn't had to improvise on some of the tools and materials. :) And then I will need to get "models" to let me do their makeup.
My hope is that it will sharpen my skills and that it will either confirm that this really is what I want to do or let me know that it's not something I should do. One thing I know for sure though, God will direct me where He wants me!
