About Julia

Hey, I’m Julia Arenas.  I’m 28 years old and based in the Philippines.  I’m a U.P. Fine Arts graduate and after 6 years of working on digital effects for TV commercials I’ve left that industry and have just begun to pursue a new career, professional make-up artistry.  I’ve done professional shoots with real models for their “folios”, makeup for TV Commercials, and shortly after that I recently finished studying foundational make-up principles under the MAKE UP FOR EVER Singapore Academy this last June 2011.  My work portfolio is viewable at juliamakesfaces.tumblr.com

 I am really fond of getting gussied up and playing around with beauty related products, most especially make-up.  I became cosmetic conscious most especially when I worked for Living Asia Channel a few years ago.  I had to learn to put my own makeup on-the-go as a writer/host, there were no make-up artists around to touch you up.  This blog began as a thank you post to an Australian lip balm company that were very warm, helpful, and friendly when something I purchased from them online got lost for awhile.  They assisted me with my very first purchase of Lanolips lip ointment that had been sent to a wrong address because of a typo on my end.  Around that time I also started watching some make-up tutorials by some currently famous make-up gurus and professionals on YouTube.   Some of those artists in particular who inspire me are a UK Professional Makeup Veteran: Lisa Eldridge,  US based Korean: Jen of frmheadtotoe, UK sisters Sam & Nicola Chapman of Pixiwoo, the ever popular and innovative MichellePhan a.k.a RiceBunny , and the beautiful and driven Swiss siren, Julia (lovely name LOL) of Misschievous Makeup.
