Who Am I?
Dvmakeup stands for my name Dércia de Vilhena. Im more than 20 and less than 30 years old. I was born in Luanda-Angola-Africa but i moved to Porto-Portugal-Europe with my parents. I was a happy,single child but always creative. I used to play alone. I was able to play many caracters at the same time, paint (a lot), sing, dance, study, travel, etc.
Im the same girl, a bit bossy,but the same!
When did I start?
I love clothes, colours and camaras! I used to make my barbie clothes. I had no money...so i used to cut t-shirts; make paper dolls and design paper clothes and paint them( freak)! Gud times
( out of topic: i was always confused about the fact that Im Black and my daughters ( my dolls) white?!?! But I found one black. And I still have them all :) !! )
At school i used to take pictures of my classmates, of myself. My camara used to be my Bible!
In 2000-2007, in Luanda, makeup was something impossible to find. The makeup industry, is more than weak. Only 2 makeup artists but, i found their work weak, comparing to the rest of the world!
When I moved to CPT, in 2008, I was learning english, and I was bored. I decided to do some courses. I did Human Resources and 5 intensive days Makeup course at Moving makeup school.
My first course was a bit scary, didnt know what eyeshadows to use and find the right colour of foudation.
Makeup courses dont really work for me, because what might be good for the teacher might not be good for you. I decided to self teach, read books, watch tutorials and PRACTICE.
I started doing test shoots 2 months ago, and its totally different, a lot of work, hours, products...grrr but its god. Its great when u work with cool, experienced ppl.
Why am I doing this?
Im blessed for doing my work . I dont see myself doing something else, its crazy. I feel that I can have and do more and more things, soon.
I dont know how many ppl Ive met since im doing this...designers, photographers, models, muas, tv. Thank you!!
Future?
Just watch me!
