fotd: pink and purple, rant, maccosmetics.com, 100 followers

I mentioned on my last post that my cousin from Washington is back for vacation, well she's leaving on Tuesday [that went by so quick]. But anyway we took another studio picture and this time our theme was HOT PINK. I really didnt know what look I wanted to do on myself and I was running outta time coz I woke up late [due to our late night karaoke-ing]. I woke up at 1pm and had to start getting ready. I left my house by 2:30 coz my cousin [Michelle] asked me to do her makeup so we were even more tight on time. I wish I took a before and after, she wanted some color but subtle. I think I did the opposite of subtle hahah. She had MAC Sushi Flower and Passionate on her lid and then MAC Shadowy Lady on her crease. I pretty much used the same colors I used on me. And then one of our other cousin's [Diana] met up with us at the house and she asked me to do her makeup too. Again, no pics. I did a Smokey eye on her with a hint of pink. But for some reason [I guess the lighting] made it look like she had dark circles around her eyes. haha! So we had to quickly soften it up a bit. Anyways heres what I wore:

Face:
Physician's Formula Concealer stick in Yellow

Revlon Colorstay Foundation in Toast

Johnson's Baby Powder

MAC HK Blush in Fun and Games

Eyes:

UDPP

MAC E/S in Grain

MAC E/S in Shadowy Lady

MAC E/S in Sushi Flower

MAC E/S in Baby Petals

MAC Penultimate Liner in Rapidblack

MAC Technakohl Liner in Graph Black

Lips:

Aquafina Lip Balm

MAC Lipstick in Pervette

Rant; not for those who are sensitive to cuss words

Okay so we took our studio pictures at the same studio as last time and we [or maybe it was just me] were suprised that it was a different photographer. At some point during our "photoshoot", for a lack of a better word, I murmured under my breath that I fucking hated this photographer. My cousin's were like why? and all that. I explained and they agreed. He basically used the same fucking pose for every shot he took, the only changes that were made were the people. 3 sitting up front 3 standing in the back, all we did was rotated. OMG I was so fucking pissed, Excusè Moi for my french but I did not wna pay for something UGLY! We all did not like how the pictures turned out. IDK but a good photographer will try to even it out meaning one person was leaning in closer than the other one so theres like awkward spaces in between us and it just did not look professional. If I wanted some like that i'd just take my own fucking camera and take it myself on selftimer or something! We asked if we can take another set of poses and with a different photographer [the one we liked was on vacation, just great], he told us that we'd have to pay another sitting fee of some sort and it was their policy. That pissed me off even more. I mean I understand that all companies have policies so that they dont lose out. But this was totally the photographers fault. Who the fuck takes pictures like its casual?! Thats why we go to a studio to make it all nice/professional and shit. I really did not mean to hurt his feelings but if im a paying customer and im not satisfied [and they're not willing to compromise], I AM going to voice it out! Now, if we just didnt like the way we smiled or if our hair was all whack and outta place or our shirt wrinkled up, I understand thats not on the photographer, but the godsh damn poses were wayyyy off! My cousin tried to calm us down by saying she doesnt wna get all worked up coz she knows how it feels to be in their position. But trust me when I say I KNOW HOW THAT FEELS TOO. I work with Japanese tourist [they are hella Service Oriented] one wrong move and they will complain, BUT at my company we COMPROMISE, because we know they're paying customers and we want them to come back. If they waive the 2nd fee for taking a new set of poses or even discount for that matter than I'd be ok but the bosses didnt wna admit that the fucking photographer was off just so they dont discount the 2nd fee. And from the looks of it, he doesnt have experience. I dont know that for a fact but I was really unsatisfied. But we couldnt just leave with out paying anything so we just decided to pay that extra $40 some and take a new set with the owner as our photographer. He was wayyy better and gave us a variety of PROFESSIONAL looking poses to choose from. In the end, they gave us a $12 dollar discount for the 2nd fee. Im glad they realized. I've been taking studios there for a while now with the photographer we like and the first time [this time] it wasnt him, I was never more unsatisfied. And these picture packages, they are not cheap! Rant over.
