Overview

It is hard to believe the Spring term has already ended. It felt like this class and learning project were complete in the blink of an eye. As a part of the EDTC 300 class, an educational technology course, I had to pick something to learn over the term and document it through blogging. 

I decided to learn makeup, as I enjoy it but did not get time to practice. I also chose it as I was more familiar with the process and blogging was already something new I was learning how to do. I was also a bit apprehensive going into this project as I am not present online. I am the epitome of the passive scroller, as I rarely post or comment on social media. 

Despite these worries, I came to enjoy the blogs and looked forward to getting to write my weekly learning project blog. I also learned a lot more about the makeup world than I expected to, as I tend to give up easily when I can’t get it right. I found myself pushing my skills and also giving myself more grace than I had in the past. 

What I could do before the project	Hoped to Learn to do	Learned to do
Eyeshadow with 2-3 shades Winged eyeliner Eyeliner Hearts Blush Highlighter	Foundation Concealer contour Masculine makeup looks Complex eyeshadow looks	Graphic eyeliner designs Simple shadow looks with 4-6 shades Complex looks with around 20 shades Flower eyeliner art

Recap of learning 

Week 1: A Semi-Beginners Plan to Learning Makeup)

• Introducing my makeup interest 
• Examples of past experiences makeup looks
• Rough plan on makeup skills to learn
• Examples of sources
• Documentation plan
• First eyeshadow look: ColourPop All Amethyst Palette | Soft Purple Eyeshadow Tutorial
  • Enjoyed this source as she had verbal cues and visual aids for where to put the makeup 
• Tips I knew before:
  • Use water or setting spray on a brush to make a shadow brighter
  • Using an eye curler before mascara can help make the lashes look longer,
  • Important to clean, moisturise and prime skin before starting,
  • Fill in the water line first on the eyes first. Helps avoid makeup running from eyes watering.
  • Put tape on your outer corner to help with making a wing
  • Start small. You can always make the wing thicker or bigger. 
  • Q-tips will be your best friend! They help sharpen the edges of the wing.
  • Try a pencil liner rather than a liquid liner. This can allow for easier control. 
  • Do the liner in sections. It is easier than doing a single line.
  • Place a dot where you want your wing to end. This helps to keep the wing to the size you would like
  • After putting a shadow on a brush, tap it off on the pallet. Helps remove excess shadow and makes it easier to build.

Takeaways from Online Learning and Blogging

1. Flexibility

My first takeaway from this project is that it allows for flexibility. This project was something we were able to build into our already busy schedules and relied on the time we were able to put into the project. This was a nice change of pace compared to other projects, as I would have weeks where I was able to put more time and effort in, while others were less productive. I was also able to choose when and where I did the project, rather than having a set time or space for it. Both these things made this project more approachable and forced me to put time aside to explore a creative outlet. 

2. Can find and use resources that suit learning

By taking learning online, people can explore many different videos, articles, apps, and websites to find information. They can conduct the research they need to complete the project, find inspiration for what to create, and explore tips on how to improve. But above all, they can explore resources that suit their learning styles, needs, and abilities. Online learning allows for a personalized learning experience, as there are very few stipulations on what can and can’t be used or done. 

3. Adapt it to what you are comfortable with

With online learning, there is no pressure to be perfect or get everything right the first time. It also allows people to learn from wherever they are most comfortable and share only what they want. This reduces the fear of failing or others watching, allowing people to take more risks in their learning. 

4. Confidence building

While exploring blogging, I became more comfortable presenting myself online. This project provided me a safe and supportive space to explore and learn about proper online presentation. It also showed me how fun being present online can be, as I was able to do something I really enjoy and share it with interested people. The support from classmates on these posts also improved my confidence, as I did not have to worry about ridicule or other negative interactions. They also helped me to become more confident in experimenting and wearing makeup outside of the house, which was a rare occurrence before. 

5. Community

My last takeaway from this project is that using a blog and personal learning journey assignment in a classroom can be a great way to foster a community. Everyone was able to see what others were learning and their processes. The commenting allowed people to provide compliments and tips to assist with people’s projects. It also allowed for the sharing of resources that we had explored and found useful.

Overall, this project was a fun learning experience that provided many new learning opportunities. I learned many new tricks for makeup, found some new sources I love, and built more confidence with exploring and wearing makeup. Although this blog will be coming to an end, my exploration of makeup will continue. And who knows, maybe I’ll finally learn how to do a full face of makeup!

Thank you for coming on this learning journey with me!

Well, this week did not go as I had planned. Originally, I had hoped to explore some simple eye makeup looks for my cousin’s graduation but I did not have as much time to play with makeup as I had hoped. However, I was able to explore a few different sources this week. 

Firstly, I did not have much time on June 10th, which resulted in me doing a simple cat eye wing. I did not follow a source for this look and forgot to take photos of the finished product. 

On the 11th, I had some extra time to explore a new source on YouTube. I decided I wanted to do something bright this day, which led me to look for a blue eyeshadow look, as I have heard it is supposed to make brown eyes pop. In my search, I came across Savannah Sylver’s video and decided to give it a try.

This makeup look was fairly simple but I did not have enough blue shades to get it the same as Savannah’s. Although the look was simple to follow, I was not a huge fan of this video. I struggled to choose the shades I needed as she did not show which shades in the pallet she was using for each step, like other videos I have watched. This made colour matching even more difficult as I did not have the pallet she was using, nor see the colours to try and match it with what I had. I also struggled knowing where to put the shadows as she did not say and the video was not overly zoomed in.

For this day, I also took progression photos. Firstly, I took a photo of what my eyelid looked like primed with concealer, but not set with powder. By not setting it with powder, the lid remains tacky, which causes the shadows to appear brighter. However, setting it with powder can make the blending process smoother. 

I then added my lightest blue all over the lid and along the lower lash line. This was my first mistake, as I needed the lightest blue later on in the look, not right at the start. 

The next step was adding a slightly darker blue to the crease. I felt like doing this created a harsh line, as the blue I chose was brighter and darker than that on my crease. I also struggled with blending the colours out. 

The third step was where I needed the lightest blue. However, I felt I saved this by using a shimmery aqua green on the inner corner. 

I then used a makeup wipe to reduce how high the colour went on my eyelid, before adding a cat eyeliner. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lastly, I added a silvery shimmer all over the lid to try and help tie the look together.

On the 12, I once again went to YouTube for inspiration. This day, I decided to try out a simple shadow look. This time, I came across Angela Bright’s video.

I, again, had a hard time with this look, but for my faults. I was at my parents this past week and did not bring many eyeshadow pallets with me. Thus, I did not have many options for neutral shades, resulting in a much darker eye look. I also used a silver shimmer for the look, which completely overpowered it. Aside from my faults, this video was really easy to follow. The creator explained where the shadows should go, showed which colour she was using for each step, and had the video zoomed in on her the entire time. Despite the video being good, I did not like the outcome of the look. 

Upon taking a photo of the look, I immediately removed it and did a simple cat eye wing with a shimmery inner corner. 

Lastly, on the 13th, I decided to try out a fun eyeliner, as I was not feeling up to doing eyeshadow. I chose to look at Pinterest as I find following a photo easier for eyeliner. 

I found this pin a little harder to follow than others, as the filter on it made it difficult to see the wings. However, I liked the outcome of the liner. 

This learning post is coming out earlier than I normally do as I do not think I will have time for makeup this weekend. However, if that changes, I will make an update to this post!

For my learning adventure this week, I focused on pride-inspired makeup using a couple of sources from YouTube. The first look I tried came from the creator Chloe Morello, and I was scared to start.

I had expected it to be difficult to follow the video and get the eye look similar. However, I was pleasantly surprised when I found this video easier to follow than any others I have used for this project. This video did not include visual markers for where to place the makeup, but she provided verbal directions and kept the footage on her eyes the entire time. It also helped that she went from the lightest to the darker colours, as it was easy to go back and add or blend them out.

 For this lookI used four different pallets and about 17 colours. This is the most I have ever used and I absolutely love the outcome of the look. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The second video I used this week came from the creator Alexandra Anele, and included three different graphic eyeliner looks.

I decided to try out the first look and adapted it to how I wanted it. Rather than doing rainbow dots, I changed it to rainbow hearts. I found this look easy, as I just had to place a dot, and then make two lines that joined at the dots.

It was also a fun and subtle way to show pride at work. This is a look I recommend for beginners as it does not take much to do and the video is easy to follow.

The next video I used came from maybelinenewyork, but the person who did the look was Gabriel Zamora. I found this video harder to follow as the camera kept pulling in and out of his eyes. This made it difficult to know if I was putting the shadows in the right spot. I was also struggling to get a good pigment with the shadows as they were no sticking to the eye. Usually in this case, I would prime the lid with either primer or concealer, but I forgot them at my apartment. This was probably my least favourite look all week, as it did not come out how I hoped. 

 

 

On the 7th, I made a second attempt at the rainbow look from Chloe Morello. I found it even easier to do as I had tried it before. I also did not need to use as many pallets this time as I was able to get all the colours really pigmented by spraying the brush with setting spray and priming my lids. 

On the 8th, I followed Alexandra Anele’s video again, this time using the colours of the Pansexual flag. I, again, created hearts and found this look easy to follow. 

Lastly, I created a look without using a source. I just made a small black wing, then made hearts along the top of the wing. I found this look really cute and easy to complete.

Here are a few tips I learned this week:

1. If your a beginner, use setting powder to make to make it less tacky and easier to blend
2. Use tape on the outer corner to sharpen look and on the undereye to catch fallout
3. Can go back with previous colours to help blend out colours
4. Keep makeup wipes close, makes for easy clearing of brushes
5. White primer can help make colours pop

I had a lot of fun with this week’s looks. I was planning on learning how to do a full face of  makeup this week. However, I am at my parents and forgot the majority of the makeup I need. Thus, I will probably focus on either pride looks or a more natural look for my cousins grad.

Unfortunately, I could not explore a new source for learning makeup this week as it was jam-packed. Thus, I stuck with looking at Pinterest to find inspiration for different eyeliner looks.

On the 27th, I found a liner look I wanted to try, but could not do it properly. I also completely forgot to save the pin I was using for inspiration. However, I did create a video on using a pencil liner to create a guideline. 

After failing multiple at this look, I decided to find a different reference photo to follow. I came across a star eyeliner photo I wanted to try. Again, I used a pencil liner to outline what I needed to do, as I knew the stars would be difficult to make.

This did provide an outline, however, the pencil liner was thicker than the liquid liner I used. I had to remove the pencil liner star and dots before adding the liquid liner, as the star was bigger than I wanted. I also found the sharp edges of the stars difficult to make as the tip of the liner I use has a thicker brush. I absolutely loved how this look came out and plan to use the reference again. 

 

 

 

 

 

The second look I did this week was a simple liner with no reference photo. This day was very busy, which resulted in minimal time to play with makeup. However, the wing of the liner went really well that day. 

The third look I did was using a reference I liked from last week. This time around, the reference photo was easier to follow, but I still could not get the line at the end of the wing the way I wanted. It was more straight then I had wanted. I also made the wings this day thicker and longer than I had wanted. I did my best to clean it up with a Q-tip, but eventually gave up trying to make it better. 

The next look I tried was inspired by this pin. This was my favourite look I created this week. The dots were difficult as my liner tip was to thick. However, I was able to space them the way I wanted. I also found the wing for this look hard as I always flick my wings up rather than slightly down or straight out the side. 

 

 

 

 

 

I tried this look again the next day for work. Usually, the second try at a look is easier. However, I could not make a thin line for the wing and the dots kept bleeding into one another. After about 5 attempts to fix the wing and the dots, I gave up and settled on doing a simple wing with no reference photo. Unfortunately, I was in a rush for work after these failed attempts and did not take a photo. 

The last two looks I did this week were all on the same day. The first look was inspired by this photo and was extremely difficult. The lines I was making were too thick to work for the look, I struggled to make the arrow at the end, and could not make the curved line on the inner corner at all. I became very frustrated at this attempt and forgot to take a photo before removing it. The other look I did involved two different designs without reference photos. This was a subtle pride look and was fairly easy to do as I have created hearts with eyeliner before. The one heart with a flag in it was created with a heart outline, then filled in with the three colours. For the other look, I made the hearts first and then made a black outline. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I found this week fun and frustrating. I struggled with many of the wings I tried to do and gave up more then I would have liked. Next week, I am going to use YouTube again to find some more subtle pride looks to do for the month of June. 

Some tips I learned this week:

1. Sharpen pencil liner to make thinner outlines
2. Squeeze liner brush between two fingers to make it smaller

Thanks for reading!

Since I started dabbling in makeup, I’ve always felt like a sharp eyeliner can improve a look immensely. This belief, alongside a very busy week, is why I decided to focus on trying new eyeliner looks. As eyeliner is a skill I have practiced in the past before and love doing, I chose more advanced eyeliner looks to try. 

This week, all my sources came from Pinterest, as I found it difficult to follow step-by-step videos to do eyeliner. Following a photo was still difficult but better than following a video, as I could zoom into each part and get a closer look at how the liner should be. 

On May 23rd, I had more time and also was not going anywhere, so I decided to try two different looks. The first photo I used was from ColourPop.

I found the curve portion of this liner difficult to do. However, I think if I did it again, I would place a dot where I want the line to start and end. I tried this later in the week and it helped me get the lines how and where I wanted them. 

The second photo I used was easier to follow. I, again, struggled to make a curve on the longer line connected to the wing. However, I felt the curve on the inner corner went well, probably due to it being a smaller line. 

The third look I did was using this reference photo. Before finding the photo I used, I tried out two different eyeliner looks that I could not do. I eventually found this one and it was the easiest reference I followed this week. With this look, q-tips came in very handy as I kept making the liner a little too thick and too far into the lid. 

The fourth liner look I did was a simple wing with no reference as I was in a rush to get to work. 

Lastly, I used this photo to create a look. I had a lot of fun trying this one out and found it easy, as it required a simple wing and the other lines followed parallel to it. This was also the look I put dots on the start and end of where I wanted the liner. It helped curve the line along the bottom lash. My main issue with this look was the white liner I used as it was not sticking to my lid very well, but coated my lashes. 

Tip I learned this week:

1. Place dots where you want the line, then connect the dots.

I had a lot of fun this week experimenting with different eyeliner looks and plan to do the same next week as I will be busy again. However, I am excited for June as I will finally have time to adventure into new makeup territory- foundation, contour, and concealer!

Thanks for reading!

Hello everyone and welcome to week 2 of my learning Journey with make-up!

From May 12 till the 20th, I have been focusing on eye looks using a source from YouTube called TheMakeupChair. Throughout this time, I used three videos to create four looks. The first video of hers I watched was the Beginners Eye Makeup Tutorial.

I really enjoyed this video of hers as she provided many visuals, such as arrows and outlines, and verbal explanations for the parts of the eye and where the shadow should go. For example, she used the terminology ‘crease of your eye’, while providing arrows to show the area she meant. It was also easy to follow along with, had very few steps, and was a simple look that could be done with any eyeshadow pallet.

I thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial, enough so that I used it twice over this time. I was very happy with the outcome the first time I did this look. The browns were soft and blended well together. There was a noticeable contour and highlight on the lid. I also loved how my wing turned out that day. However, in my second attempt, I seem to have gone very heavy-handed with the shadows. The entire lid looks the same colour with a light shimmer visible. Although, I do like how the wing turned out this day as well.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The second video of hers I used was the ‘Beginners Eye Make-up Tutorial Using Blue Eyeshadow’. This video of TheMakeupChair was harder to follow than the other two I used. Visuals were still used but not for every step she took. She put makeup on the lid in different shapes in areas I was struggling to find. I also struggled as the blue shadows I had were a lot darker and not as shimmery as the one she used in the video. The outcome is not overly similar to the video, as my lid looks all the same colour and the blue on the inner corner is not bright. I was also not a fan of the liner that I did for this look. However, I would try this eye look again but spend more time placing the shadows in the correct spots and blending them out more.

The third video I used from this source was ‘Barbie Girl Eye Makeup in 5 Easy Steps’. She, again, provided visuals for the areas where the shadow was supposed to go. She also provides tips she has found useful in her experience to make the process easier. I honestly wish I would have started with this video of hers, due to these factors and how few steps were involved in the look. This is my favourite look using the source TheMakeupChair, as I created a distinct difference between the crease and lid. I also really like the wing I made. 

Overall, I really enjoyed this creator and will probably use her videos again, as she has many great tips and provides visuals. 

I also did a few looks this week without using an online source, as I did not have time to follow a video. The first one was a gold highlighter on the lid with a small winged liner

The second was a big winged liner with three small flowers. I included one light blue, dark blue, and purple flower, each with its leaves. I made the flowers using coloured liquid liner. 

Tips I learned this week:

1. Start with lighter shades and progress to darker. Makes blending out the shadow a little easier. 
2. Can use lighter shades or a clean blending brush to blend out colours and lines
3. Priming the lids helps shadows stick to the eye
4. Important to keep your eyes open when doing shadows. 
5. Put liquid liner on the open side of a bobby pin and place it on the outer corner of the eye. Provides an outline of a wing, and can be helpful if you have shaky hands.

Thank you for reading this post!

My interest in makeup developed as a young teen when I became fascinated with the world of beauty YouTubers. When these influencers started to take over the internet, I fell in love with the different products and the idea that the face could be used as a canvas. This interest continued to grow when TikTok became a space for makeup influencers to show off looks and provide tips. However, I had limited time to develop this interest due to responsibilities in my life. I also had influences in my life who would make hurtful comments about makeup that deterred me from trying it.

Although I was deterred from practicing makeup on myself as a teen, I occasionally wore it for events, usually having help applying it from my sisters or mom. As an 18-year-old, my interest and confidence in exploring makeup blossomed and I began to practice winged liner. The more I practiced this skill, the more confident I became and I decided to try eyeshadow. The first times I tried it did not go well, which left me feeling discouraged. Thus, I stuck with what I could do. Over the summer of last year, with more patience and success, I started practicing eyeshadow looks again. They are fairly easy looks, using only one or two different shades of the same colour and a shimmering colour, but have been fun to do anyway. I have also started to use fun eyeliner colours to create designs.

Although I have started to practice makeup, I never have had the confidence to try a full face of makeup. I use a few face products such as blush and highlighter, but have no idea how to use concealer and contour. I have also lacked the time to develop the skills needed to do makeup. Luckily, this learning project is just the excuse I need to focus on these skills! During this project, my main learning focus will be on more complex eyeshadow looks, as that is the main thing about makeup I enjoy. I also plan to learn how to use face products, such as foundation, concealer, and contour. I would like to learn how to use these products to create masculine and feminine looks.

To learn these skills, I plan to use many different sources on Youtube and TikTok for tutorials, such as this one. I also plan to use Instagram and Pinterest to find inspiration for makeup looks as I gain more confidence in my abilities. I will be using blogs and other online sources for makeup tips and tricks to improve my skills as well. To document my learning, I intend to take photos of the finished looks to add to my blog posts. I may also make TikTok or YouTube videos occasionally to record the application process.

Before I start my journey, I want to list the tips I knew before, which are:

1. You can use water or setting spray on a brush to make a shadow brighter,
2. Using an eye curler before mascara can help make the lashes look longer,
3. Important to clean, moisturise and prime skin before starting,
4. Fill in water line first on the eyes. Helps avoid makeup running from eyes watering.
5. Put tape on your outer corner to help with making a wing
6. Start small. You can always make the wing thicker or bigger. 
7. Q-tips will be your best friend! They help sharpen the edges of the wing.
8. Try a pencil liner rather than a liquid liner. This can allow for easier control. 
9. Do the liner in sections. It is easier than doing a single line.
10. Place a dot where you want your wing to end. This helps to keep the wing to the size you would like
11. After putting shadow on a brush, tap it off on the pallet. Helps remove excess shadow and makes it easier to build.

Lastly, I have officially begun my learning journey! I did my first eyeshadow look for this project on May 10th following this Youtube video by Angela Bright. Although I did not have the exact makeup pallet and shades Angela used, I overall liked this source. She was easy to follow and provided verbal and visual explanations of the steps. The video was short and did not contain any music to distract from the task at hand. Angela Bright is definitely a source I will be using again!

Follow along as I further immerse myself in the world of makeup!
