No, I'm not actually counting down the months, I'm just amazed at how quickly time has passed again.
It doesn't feel like a month ago that I was welcoming in the new year.
But here is my first end of month review, something that I will hopefully be doing each month. It's basically a review of that month and setting up for the coming month.
1/ Write "2013" whenever writing the date.
That was my January goal. Did I manage it? For the most part, yes! I was surprised how little I actually wrote "2012". I normally have such an issue with remembering the change in date for the first month. That said, I did slip up a little at times.
2/ January College Work
At some point I'll show you all of my 2012 college makeup work too, but on these posts it will focus on that month's work. This month: Ageing, Editorial Fashion, and Avant Guarde.
Question: Would you guess that the "old man" is actually a 20 year old? Sidenote: I was a little disappointed with how badly the prosthetic nose blended into the skin, even with latex, but as my teacher said, you cannot expect a perfect finish with shop bought pieces.
3/ Band of the Month
This month's band I have loved for a while, and got their album for Christmas. That band is: Imagine Dragons. They are brilliant, and I'm happy to say that I am getting to see them in April! Hurray! Also, their fans are called "Dragons" which is pretty awesome. Needless to say, I am a definite dragon!
Hopefully the picture will link to some of their music on youtube. That's if I've figured it out right. If not, then go search them! They really are good!
4/ Film of the Month
Well I haven't really seen any new films this month, so I'm going to go with one that welcomed in my new year by being shown on tv on New Years Day. And that film is: UP.I don't think anyone can dislike that film. It's so funny and cute and really heartbreaking and heartwarming all at the same time. If any of you haven't seen it then where on earth have you been living!? Go watch it! Now!
5/ Event of the Month
Winter = Panto season, and I was lucky enough to be asked to do the makeup for some of my local theatre's panto characters. Our panto was Aladdin. Unexpectedly, it never got boring, even after watching it over 10 times. The makeup never got boring either. Right now I feel at a loss because it's all over and I miss being with and working with everyone. But I'm sure we'll all get the chance to chill together sometime elsewhere.
The Genie, Abanazar and Widow Twankey.
These makeups all changed slightly as the days went on and they became easier and I became quicker at creating them. I do believe these were from the final dress rehearsal or something along those lines, so things did get tweaked between then and the actual performances.
6/ Beauty "Fad" of the Month
Colourful Eyebrows. Mainly purple. I love bold colourful eyebrows. It's quirky and draws attention to you (not so good if you're as clumsy as I am). The amount of compliments I got from people because of them, from actors to makeup artists to classmates and friends, everyone seemed to love them (or were just really good at being fake-complimentary!)
Next Month's Goal: "To prepare for my acting school audition."
So on March 2nd, I have an audition to an acting school. This one in particular I have applied to the previous 2 years and failed to get in. This year I am determined to manage it!
In terms of preparation, I need to get fit (as part of the audition is a physical workshop to test fitness and agility), I need to learn and prep 2 monologues, I need to redye my hair and I need to book my train ticket.
That's All Folks!
Hope you've enjoyed my little month review. I shall do another one at the end of this month. Any and all feedback is appreciated. And I shall speak to y'all later!
Love B xxxx
