Make-up by Nikki: Diary of a Makeup Artist

Here is a smokey eye and Nude lip that I did lastnight on the lovely Denise!

Here are some updo’s I did last weekend. A lovely vintage bun and a bridal updo.

Last night in class we learned Special FX! It was sooooo FUN!! I think I have found a new love! I am so excited for Halloween this year!

Lastnight in class we worked on more Editorial and Fashion makeup. We also learned some fun brow stuff!

Here I am in class getting my makeup done by a fellow student!

I decided that as a makeup artist I do not want to be limited in any way. I want to grow and learn as much as possible about this art. After searching the internet and touring some schools, I decided to enroll at the All About Face Academy! www.allaboutfaceacademy.com   I am currently in my 7 week of their 15 week course. I am SO happy that I made this decision and chose this academy. I have already learned so much about technique that I did not know before. I feel that I am growing as an artist and I cannot wait to continue to learn and take my skills to their highest level! Here are some pictures from class, and some of the looks and styles of makeup that I am learning. (All makeup done by me!)  If you are even thinking about looking into makeup school, Please do yourself a favor and check out All About Face!!!  (To see pictures with a closer view…click on them!)  All makeup used in these photos: Nakeah Cosmetics. www.nakeahcosmetics.com
