VANITY SESSIONS by JOYCE IGNACIO

In my continuous quest to learn how to do my own every day make-up, I attended another workshop, Vanity Sessions. Professional make-up artist Joyce De Dios-Ignacio was a grade school and high school batch mate from Maryknoll (aka Miriam). Learned about her makeup class from Facebook (same way I learned about Makeup by Karen).

It was another fun (I love everything kikay!) and empowering (Kaya ko pala!) experience for me. I love learning new skills!

Our class of six.

I love that it was a small group

kaya Joyce was able to focus on each of us.

Me at work.

I chose a seat near the window

for maximum natural light.

The workshop provides attendees

with headbands, makeup brushes,

a buffet of makeup, mirrors, lamps,

bottled water and snacks.

I still brought my own kit

so Joyce was able to check if I have the correct shades.

As I feared, my liquid foundation is too light.

I have to get me a darker shade.

Yey!

What's inside the gift bag?

Shu Uemura samplers, discount card, oil blotter.

I bought a makeup palette

sold by Joyce for only Php 1,500.

Practice na!

Joyce's (in stripes) makeup looked so fresh, clean

and very polished! She was every one's peg, hehe.
