My creative makeup

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.
