I have some awful pictures I deleted from the past. My avatar is my latest MUA wanna be attempt. Aug 20 08 11:28 am Link bump-zilla Aug 21 08 03:29 am Link AKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK I JUST FOUND MINE!

The first one isn't bad!!! Why is everything that's bright, fun, and creative considered bad? Last time i checked being an MUA isn't just about sticking to the natural, neutral look...!

I've only been doing photoshoots since last year and I was going through the typical fase of bright colours, drama with glitter, rhinesontes, feathers, EVERYTHING so horribly cliched and bad lol Aug 21 08 06:10 pm Link ok, found this today and could not resist posting....I feel so vulnerable Aug 23 08 05:30 pm Link I win! Aug 23 08 05:43 pm Link I couldn't resist! My first ever photoshoot back in Jan this year - Yep I had a bit of an obsesion with feathers/butterflyes etc. Always though more make-up was the best way to go! Oh how ive learned my lesson I was so nurveous before that shoot that I actualy forgot most of my brushes! And something I did a few days ago- Lesson learned! Aug 23 08 07:12 pm Link Aug 23 08 07:37 pm Link gotta say that as someone new to the business, this thread is really reassuring. nice to know that all of you awesome creatures had to start somewhere, too! thanks for having the cajones and confidence to share. Aug 23 08 10:52 pm Link Pretty Poison MUA wrote: LOL It's not bad because it's bright... In fact, I have a lot of bright makeup in my port. It's bad because it's bad application. Too many holes, wrong color choices, bad blending, etc.... Aug 24 08 02:20 am Link Aug 24 08 02:51 am Link Aug 24 08 02:52 am Link experiment gone wrong... aish Aug 24 08 02:53 am Link Cosmetic Couture wrote: Exactly! Aug 24 08 02:55 am Link EmElle Makeup and Hair wrote: LOL Yep! I wish I could go back in time on sooooo many shoots just to fill in the holes, blend a little more, pay attention to the details that don't seem important at the time, but make a HUGE difference in the final pictures. LOL Aug 24 08 04:44 am Link omg....here goes. done January of this year. BAD blending....and omg, look at that nasty lip liner ! lmfaoooo what was i thinking!!!!!! most recent photo taken today: ...i've learned the hard way that LESS is MORE R Aug 24 08 06:57 pm Link Robin C wrote: That lip liner is AWESOME! And by awesome I really mean horrible. Just say no to lip liner! Aug 24 08 11:27 pm Link Mar 13 09 09:22 am Link ack. I want to post. sort of. I have to go look for my bad ones... yikes! Mar 13 09 01:54 pm Link ok. heres the bad. ugh. and heres some newer work. Mar 13 09 02:00 pm Link oh god.. I can't believe I'm doing this look at this HORRIBLE attempt at a silvery smokey hooded eyelid!! ::cringes:: done in june 2005 its the same feeling i get as when someone runs their nails on a chalkboard when I look at this make-up I did this is how it should have looked done in june 2008 (i'm posting pics from my digital camera cuz well.. the first one wasn't professionally photographed.. (rightly so!!).. so I wanted to put equally crappy photographed images from the newer work) p.s. i'm SURE that i'll look back to these newer pictures and also cringe one never stops learning and growing Mar 19 09 02:59 am Link Here goes it...this is from 2007. It was like my 3rd photoshoot ever. Mar 19 09 08:18 am Link bump I LOVE this thread! Jun 03 09 11:03 pm Link DebraWeiteMakeUpNHair wrote: was the first one done with nail polish?

Jun 04 09 07:52 am Link Kelli wrote: me too! i really like the eyes. Jun 04 09 08:16 pm Link Awww guys!!!! Thanks for being so brave and posting. Just the other day I was looking at work from when I started which was only a year ago and can't believe how far I've come. (And how far I have to go) A lot of my worst work is still listed on my profile so I won't even bother posting it here and embarrassing myself. But it is such an inspiration to see all you talented MUA's posting your first work. It made me realize that you all didn't just decide to become makeup artists and start producing flawless applications. You all rock: And fine I'll post: This is by far the worst mess of makeup. What was I thinking? And I remember looking at it after I was done and saying "WOW look what I can do." HA! It was pretty hard for me to choose my worst because they're all pretty bad. So be nice. Jun 08 09 09:17 am Link what a great thread.. just wanted to bump it. Really wish I could have seen all the images.. damn you photobucket lol. Jul 17 09 12:17 pm Link I can't find my worst, which was typical messy goth makeup... why cakey face with peach neck, black lipstick, messy eyes... good lord it was pretty terrible. But here are some "avant garde" pics from about 5-6 y ears ago. Eeeeew. Those eyebrows! Drag queen anyone? Hahahah! Well, I suppose it was ok for the goth bar. NEWER STUFF Thankfully my avant garde stuff, got better and I got some beauty looks. Ack. Sorry, so many pics! Jul 17 09 12:59 pm Link I know I'm seriously necroing a really old thread, but I wanted to echo the sentiment of being grateful for finding out that the MUA deities weren't MUA deities from the very start. Now, I am at the point in my career where have a lot of really bad stuff that I managed to get in front of a photographer, but this is, in my opinion, the worst. My take on the 80s. Dec 22 12 06:06 pm Link OK, OK, I'm finally comfortable enough with myself and where I'm at now to share this stuff ... In school work, before I learned that less is more and before I realized the importance of blending well. More school work, my failed Charlotte Tilbury Lamb runway inspired look. Haha! First photoshoot, a newbie artist in the stick things on phase, still haven't learned less is more and blend, blend, blend! A couple of weeks before this, I had done a fashion show where we accented the eyes with feathers and to this day, I still think that was beautiful. It was fun to see walking down the runway, but it didn't have the same wow factor for a photoshoot! Enjoy! My happy holiday present to you all, I give the gift of LOLing! Dec 23 12 11:47 am Link Okay, I'm going to play. Second ever photoshoot... here we go... I had totally forgotten about this but the model still has a shot from this shoot in her port and I stumbled across it recently. Check out those eyebrows... and the rhinestones... and the terrible colour choices... and lips! My god the lips! I have no idea what I was doing or thinking. More recent... I still have a long way to go though. Dec 23 12 02:57 pm Link |
