Creativity
is something very subjective and varies depending on individuals preferences. I have seen the work of several makeup
artists’ creative makeup. I have to
admit some of the makeup works were pretty impressive but some were rather too
scary for my liking.
To
me, creative makeup is my expression of my love for stunning colours and everything
pretty.

| Spring Blossoms |
“The cold heart
winter has passed. Spring follows to warm the air and thaw
the ice. Flowers
now bloom and butterflies flutter around them playfully.”
Why did I select this makeup
theme?
It
took me a while to decide the theme for my creative makeup. I was contemplating
between winter or spring. As some of my friends would have known, winter theme is
definitely inspired by my recent obsession for my favourite princess cartoon
character- Princess Elsa from the Frozen movie. However, I finally decided to
choose spring theme instead as it coincides with the starting of the spring
season this March. I absolutely love butterflies as well as flowers and stunning
colours, so this theme is the best theme that fits my personal liking as well
as my personality.
Brainstorming
for ideas is not exactly that difficult as I initially thought it was but to
choose a particular style can be a little challenging. I went ahead with my
preference for simplicity yet sweet, lively, merry, happy, colourful and
soothing to the eyes.
It
took me 3.5 hours to complete the entire makeup with a majority of the time
trying to capture good photos of my work.
It is really challenging to be doing creative makeup on myself as it
takes lots of effort and concentration to be putting together all the leaves
and flowers at my ear and on my face. However, it is
still an enjoying process. I believed I have captured the spirit of spring
using the very basic- flowers and butterflies.
Thanks
to my fiancé I have photos of the pretty outcome of my work.
