I've long thought of holding workshops for my readers but my workshops will be different: I'm going to learn WITH you! As a writer and magazine editor, I feel like the only workshop I can do where I have enough credentials to share knowledge is a writing workshop. For that, I am very confident and I will charge people to attend because that's what I do for a living—I write! And one day, I will definitely offer writing workshops and I promise you my writing workshops will be awesome! As for the other aspects of my life, I feel my experiences are still inadequate so I decided that instead of teaching you, I will learn with you! Hence, my new project: the Topaz Learning Workshops!

For my very first Topaz Learning Workshop, I partnered with a respected name in the beauty industry: Bobbi Brown. Bobbi Brown! This is sooo exciting!! I'm so excited for you and me!!!
Why did I choose Bobbi Brown? Here are my reasons:
1. Bobbi Brown is a respected name in the makeup industry. She's one of the elite makeup artists trusted by celebrities, fashion houses and magazines. She practically invented the no-makeup makeup look!
2. I learned to apply makeup in my mid-30s. Yes, just a few years ago. I learned from Bobbi's books. Then I went to the Bobbi Brown counter in Rustan's Makati where a makeup artist taught me the 10-Step Makeup Lesson (click here for a menu of lessons). I also found out what my colors and shades are (foundation: Beige 3, lip: Sandwash Pink, bronzer: Natural 1).
3. Back to the no-makeup makeup look. As a mom who stays home most of the time, I don't really need a full face. I just need enough to make me look like me, but prettier. So that my husband and kids will think I'm pretty; so that when guests come unannounced, I'll be ready; and so when I suddenly need to run errands, I won't get lazy because my face is already decent enough to face the world! Bobbi Brown is the master of the natural look, so who else to teach me and fellow moms the way to do it?
