Event: Shu Uemura Beauty Art Makeup Competition 2009

another event, yay! thanks again to Shen for giving me a heads up about it.

Mr. Shu Uemura made history by introducing the first makeup competition in 1972. Aside from being a contest, the competition inspires, motivates and excites all participants with the unlimited possibilities of creativitiy with makeup.

And this year, the Philppines joins by promoting the talent of our makeup artists locally in the beauty industry. Having the theme, Mother Nature, the contest is open to all novice and professional makeup artists with no current affiliations with other makeup brands. At least 5 Shu Uemura items must be used for the beauty artwork to be eligible in joining. A photo of the finished artwork and a video of the makeup application process (no editing) must be submitted for the screening to be made by the Shu Uemura makeup artist team. 20 entries (10 from novice, 10 for professional) will be for the initial screening and the top 10 (5 from each category) will compete for the local finals and finally, the winner will be competing for the regional finals to be held at Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

lots of prices are at stake. really, something worth working hard for :)

sounds exciting, eh? honestly, i WANT to join. but i am not sure if i am ready for this. it's no secret that i get nervous each time i'd have a makeup gig...how much more if it'll be for a contest? lol.
