BLOG 8: A subject that I enjoyed studying this semester

Hi everyone! 🌻✨

I hope you are well

Today I`m going to talk about my favorite subject of the first semester of my second year on University

And the subject is…

Makeup! (What a surprise, no? 😂)

Basically, we do a lot of practice in ourselves, `cause is a personal work (and in this pandemic context 😷, we don’t have models. But, the work start in ourselves)

In class, we talk about the different types of makeup, if this one is based of water, alcohol or oil. The makeup brushes for foundation, shadows or illumination have this form, this angle, etc.

We share tips and techniques to do the makeups, because there is not one technique ❌.

We learn about how made natural makeup (in my case natural latex and fake blood), because the sensitive skins are allergic.

In this semester, we studied our own faces, the type of skin we have, and how are our face bones to do our first evaluation in 2d, create volume from contrast.

Then, `cause we know the human cranium, now we go for the animals (and monsters!) skulls and bones. Now, we have to create a non-human creature; for that, we are work in 3d thanks to prosthesis (I don`t have photos of this job because I haven`t started yet 😅😓)

So, as you can see 👀, the whole semester was basically around the bone structure 💀

I like this subject, because is (like many subjects in this career), something I don`t knew anything about; and was my first experience in this area.

I like it, because is an experimental subject, where you try and try until you find your own technique, and because it`s let you create whatever you want or imagine ✅.

Now, you know which subject is my favorite for when I will ask you!

Thanks as always for reading and

Will see you soon! 💕
