Designed for beginners to beauty enthusiasts, attendees were provided with a complete makeup kit so everyone could follow along and do their own makeup looks on the day. The kits even included a glimpse of never-before-seen products like the blk Cosmetics Eye Stacks and another power collaboration of the three makeup artists with Filipino beauty brand (by another makeup artist, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/mikkamarcaida" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Mikka Marcaida</strong></a>), <strong>Faboulash</strong>. They will be releasing a lash cluster collection designed by the makeup artists this August!</p><p>Adding to the excitement of the class, even celebrities like blk co-founder and creative director, <strong>Anne Curtis, Catriona Gray, Denise Laurel, Janine Gutierrez, and Cassy Legaspi </strong>played mentee to the pros and stayed the whole session to learn some new makeup tips from their favorite makeup artists.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNE2ikqzs4A/embed/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A5721365.099999998%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="881" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>So just in case you want to go to the next one (fingers-crossed there’s going to be another one next year), here are the kinds of tips you can expect from the masterclass:</p><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>1. Use your kit to its full extent.</strong></div><p>Resourcefulness is an appreciated trait in makeup artistry. Case in point, you don’t have to strictly adhere to what the product is labeled as. A lipstick can be a blush; a bronzer can be used as an eyeshadow. You can also mix and match your makeup products. You don’t need to have a hundred beauty items rolling around in your makeup kit nor should you feel the need to buy five different shades of pink blush. Sometimes, you just need to make your products work for you. You can mix and match your products to create something new!</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1755484505938SnapInsta.to_529019496_18521833438009593_5248746462008339800_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><p>During one of the segments, the artists taught the students to combine their peach color corrector (<strong>Happy Skin Second Skin Multi-Tasking Serum Concealer Corrector</strong>) with their poppy blush (<strong>blk Cosmetics Creamy All Over Paint in Rush Flush</strong>) to create a custom baby pink blush. You can experiment with adding each of the products to your little mix until you arrive at a color that you’re happy with.</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>2. It pays to layer.</strong></div><p>You don’t have to worry about being perfect when it comes to doing your daily beauty routine. Learning to layer can be helpful in improving your makeup game. The pros advised that mapping out the shape first, then layering, helps tremendously– like with eyeliner, you can first do an outline using a light pen so it takes off the pressure of creating a flawless winged liner in one fell swoop, then proceed to layer a more pigmented pencil liner on top to create a cleaner, sharper wing. </p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1755484847110SnapInsta.to_528348547_18521833411009593_1730628519776978119_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><strong><br/></strong></div><div><strong>3. It takes more than one.</strong></div><p>More often than not, when you see a covetable lip look on a celebrity, it’s never just one color; it’s usually a concoction of lip products. Using different colors, textures, and finishes gives the illusion of dimension. For the class, particularly, the lip combo of choice was blk Cosmetics Airy Velvet Tint in Sway all over the lips for the base, then the Happy Skin Lip Mallow in Lowkey in the center of the lips, and finally, a dab of the Happy Skin Lip Oil Stick in Jetset to finish. </p><p>This tip can also be applicable in other areas, like your base. Another great combo introduced during class was the mixture of Happy Skin Seamless Perfecting Stick Foundation with the Ceramide + B12 Boost Moisture Essence Lotion to create that healthy, dewy glow. You can basically do this hack with any foundation and skincare you already have if you want to achieve a more sheer, skin-like finish.</p><div><br/></div><div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-2" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DNQD4b9yjAf/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=540&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fod2-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A2%2C%22os%22%3A6301058.300000001%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="1059" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-2" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe></div><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><div><strong>4. Placement is key. </strong></div><p>Something novice makeup lovers often get confused with is where to place the products. Some tips from Anthea, Jelly, and Qua include: (1) Put your blush on the center V-shape of your cheeks then put a little on the nose and chin for a youthful look, (2) Put your highlighter directly above the blush, instead of the high points of the cheek for a more seamless transition, and (3) Apply the contour directly on the cheekbone with a patting motion. Another thing to note: don’t be too heavy-handed when applying your makeup products. Be patient and go for tapping motions, even if it might take more effort, it’ll pay off!</p><div><br/></div><div><strong>5. Makeup is a form of love.</strong></div><p>From the outside looking in, makeup can be viewed as something superficial or shallow. But for many people, whether novice or expert, makeup is a form of self-care. Something as simple as doing a 15-minute beauty routine can center your mind before starting the day. It’s fun and therapeutic, and deciding to level up your skills is a way to invest in yourself.</p><div><br/></div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1755485176472SnapInsta.to_530631069_18523047481040857_3087290888328813554_n.jpg" style="width:700px" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-rounded"/></div><div><br/></div><p>A lot of people who attended the masterclass were eager to learn about how to use their personal makeup properly, but there were also those who attended the class so that they could use their newfound skills on loved ones! One student of note was a mom who shared that she was taking up this masterclass because her daughter was in ballet. She said that she wanted to do the class to improve her makeup skills for when her daughter needs to be made up for performances. She even asked the three experts if they had any extra tips on how to do stage makeup, to which they happily shared their insights.</p><p>Makeup truly has a unique way of telling stories and showcasing self-expression. It’s through events like the Full Spectrum Makeup Masterclass that give a rare opportunity not only for Filipino makeup artists to share their knowledge, but also to bring a community together.</p><div><br/></div><div><em>Photos by Niceprint</em></div>
