First Shu Uemura challenge completed!!

After a week of work, I finally finished my challenge for the Shue Uemura make up artist competition.  I most admit, they call it a challenge for a reason.

First of all, my first video that I recorded had no sound.  So my bf and I had to reshoot it using another model.
She dropped from the heavens like an answer from a prayer.  Her name is Starlette and she is a gorgeous pre-med medical student that happens to work at the same salon where Larry (my bf) works.
When I first saw her, I knew she would be my solution.  At the tender age of 19 with Korean background, Starlette metaphor into being my Cherry Blossom that I was so desperately in need of.
She agreed to do the shoot, and after nearly 5 hours of shooting video, doing make up and still shots, we got the shot I needed to keep me from being eliminated from the competition.
Another thing I found the most challenging, is my lack of expertise in the video editing department.  So after watching a couple Imovie tutorial, fussing around with my lap top and taking a class today at the Apple store in Imovie editing, I was able to make a video with special features, titles, and extras that I would never had not been able to do if I didn't take this class Larry signed me up for.  (he is so resourceful I must say).
So now, the voting period will be from May 1-5th.  I will keep you posted in facebook were to go for your votes.
May 7th, the last 15 finalist will be announced.  (hopefully I will make the cut.)
Now, I'm going to go meet Larry for a cocktail much well deserved.  I am beat after all this running around and my allergies are not helping one bit.

Ta Ta,

ME :^)
