30-Day Change of view "Self Portrait" challenge

Day 1

How do I start...

I started with setting up my 3400 DSLR Nikon camera, then I started putting on make-up. 

I don't normally put make-up on so I felt completely lost.

I tried using Youtube but then my eyes started looking like racoons and the foundation that was suggested for my face looked like I have been a vampire hiding from over a century. 

I washed everything off, took a deep breath and started over. 

My first layer was a redness correction, then second layer I used 2 different foundations mixed them on my hand and used a brush. 

My face now looked like Bella before she turned into a vampire and then I used my moms old power foundation on which she is WAY darker then me but I put it on lightly and suddenly I had color on my face. 

I put a little blush. 

Then lips stick eyeliner and mascara. 

I had to do several takes because apparently my whole body was shaking and it was showing through. 

I did what I usually do when I am taking pictures or doing archery. 

I took a deep breath pressed the shutter-release and waited for the timer. 

Those pictures are the results after 4 hours.

What I learned about my self is that I did not realize how uncomfortable I am taking my own pictures that my whole body was shaking. 

I also learned how to mix make-up 

I also learned that I took a step in the right direction with positive results.
