Polishing Workshop of UMAP with Inglot Cosmetics Philippines

Yesterday, some UMAP (Unified Makeup Artists of the Philippines) Members were privileged to experience a workshop sponsored by Inglot Philippines under the tutelage of Inglot Cosmetics Makeup Affiliate Xyrene Eugenio.  What is a polishing workshop?  Miss Eugenio has had experience working in pageants, having been part of the team under Inglot Philippines for Mutya ng Pilipinas.  She works quickly and is a pro at it.

It simply teaches us to practice and hone our expertise in the arena of pageant makeup.  UMAP is tasked to provide the makeup services of beauty candidates for an upcoming pageant in the next month.  Our Peg was Pia Wurtzbach Alonzo for Binibining Pilipinas and Miss Universe 2016.

Here is what we learned from Xyrene Eugenio.

Applying your base is important, you want to provide a smooth canvas for the makeup to last and withstand the harsh stage lights. Skin should look healthy, clean and glowing.

Foundation used was the HD Line of Inglot in shades 71 and 73 mixed with a little luminizer.

The finished Day look.  Contour is emphasised since this has a tendency to look washed out.

Evening Look. Admittedly, the only lacking is the lashes but you can imagine the look with big, flirty wispy lashes to complete the look.

We got to work immediately, taking turns as we executed the day and evening look needed for the pageant.

My take on the evening look, for MUA Michelle Viray minus the lashes.

Different Lighting, Michelle is wearing gray contact lenses to make her eyes pop.

On myself, the left side was done by Michelle Viray while the other half of my face was done by Xyrene Eugenio.  We need lashes to make this look over the top.

Here are some After Photos.  I’ve assisted the ladies below with their makeup and unfortunately, the other ladies were not photographed, they were busy attending to their own faces.  All 3 ladies wanted a natural, polished look.  Enjoy!

Human Nature, a love story that we need to feel good about.

I came across Human Nature products when a friend of mine, shared her hand sanitiser with me in one of our makeover workshops together.    She’s into all natural, organic products since she is very allergic to so many ingredients.  The smell was citrusy and since I’m partial to citrus fragrances, I  looked at the bottle and saw it was Human Nature.

Curiously enough, I was handed a simple pizza box like gift from a few friends from Human Nature and guess what, inside the box was the citrus hand sanitiser my friend had!  Want to see more from what was inside my happy box?  Scroll down.

Don’t bug me, ok? Perfect for those nights when its humid and the mosquitoes are having a field day with your skin, this comes in handy in driving them away.

Smelly hair gone when you spray this on your hair. It smells like a tropical punch bowl.

I ve actually used this while I was in their store, I think I got bitten by a small bug and I used their tester of Rescue Balm to soothe the itchiness and small flare ups. Rescue nga.  Love the smell of Lavender and Tea Tree together.
