Nikka doesn't like wearing makeup, though if she ever would, it'd only be blush, lipbalm, and lipstick. However, when and if there's a special occasion that requires her to look a bit more polished, she always runs to me to give her a makeover. I've done her makeup several times in the past, for induction balls, graduation, weddings, etc. and every time her friends see her all made up, she's always asked where she had her makeup done. Of course, she feels happy with all the compliments that she gets, and I do, too, considering that I'm not a pro-MUA. Maybe someday.
Since my sister is attending a friend's wedding in Bulacan this afternoon, she asked me if I can prettify her for the event. I happily obliged, of course, though my sister can be a pain in the neck every time I do her makeup (she cries every time I put something on her eyes which explains why I didn't bother curling her lashes). Besides, would I ever decline an offer to give someone a makeover? Hell no! I love doing other people's makeup! I'm getting so tired of putting makeup on myself. Anyway, since my sister doesn't really like wearing makeup (and the feel of makeup on her skin), she requested for something simple, something not scandalous (using my sister's terms). Well, I really wasn't thinking of doing something dramatic or dark for a wedding, anyway. So I did a fresh, neutral eye makeup, with a pop of color on her lower lashline :)
And here's the end result.
Before and After.See the difference between a $300 point&shoot camera and a $1000+ (or is it $2000?) DSLR camera (thanks, brother)? Maybe I need to upgrade, eh?
She doesn't know how to smile :p
Closed-eye shot (She was typing a message on her phone when I snapped this photo)
And a sillier one.
Another successful makeover, eh?

haha! those silly shots are funny :P
Haha. That's so cool.
My sister does silly poses all the time coz she smiles very awkwardly. Thank you for commenting, Kay!
Wow you have an amazing sister! A doctor? She looks soo young! I can see why she may not use makeup, she probably has no time. Wow your camera is amazing! I don't own anything worth 2,000 except for maybe monthly rent but still thats just rent per month and I don't own it. LOL! I really enjoy your blog! :)
it suits her well, without clashing with her boyish personnality, all good ^^
Haha! Yeah. Although I pretty much look like a kid myself, people often mistake me as the "bigger sister" coz I'm taller than her.
Aside from the fact that she doesn't have time, she doesn't like being hit on by her patients, since a lot of them are seamen.
Ah... That's my brother's camera. I wish it was mine, but eh, no. I'm hoping to get one this year, though :)
Thanks, Carine. I haven't heard from you in a while :)
She is absolutely gorgeous! You did a great job. :D
Thank you, Lizz. Yes, my sister is naturally gorgeous. She just needs a little help here and there, but beautiful nonetheless
She looks lovely!!
