Victim 

• being forced to kill
• bring threatened for their lives
• being drugged
• not having anyone to look out for you
• losing parents and siblings and having no where else to go
• risk losing their lives       
•  They are kids!                                                                          

Guilty 

they could have chosen to fight

The kids are responsible for their own actions

language arts - child soldiers 1

  This little girl is clearly a victim, she did not choose to be in the middle of a war zone, the child thinks she is protecting her country by fighting, she might have killed and acted as somebody else but as you can see in the picture she is traumatized and she is scared literally for her life, she does not look proud for what she has done in the picture, she does not look victorious for killing and for pretending to be somebody else, she most likely was born to this war, war is all she is used to, there is nothing else to look up to, maybe even nobody to look up to. She could be forced to fight, what if she does not want to be a part of all this and there is not enough people fighting the war and she was forced to join even if she didn't want to, if the war or when the war finishes you cannot punish her from something either she was born into or forced to do, war is all she knows, she does not know what peace  is like.-

Armed and Underage article

this article is so disappointing and upsetting to know that torture like this still happens that its still going on . the children are being forced to kill, how they do NOT have a choice in this situation they either kill or get killed it shocks me. Girls are being sexually abused and getting raped, in countries with poverty and hunger,  parents sell their children in exchange for food. it shocks me how 200,000 children worldwide are being used as child soldiers by force, these children know nothing but war, they are born into war and maybe even never experienced peace before, the article shows how children are getting taken away from their parents by force to be working in the military in ages of 12, 9 even. The article points out how child soldiers is not a new problem and it has been going on since the 1980's, this little boy Awil's parents have abandoned him and left to Yemen leaving him in the Warzone, Awil is so used to war he is starting to enjoy the use of guns, some of the reasons child soldiers are being forced is because they are loyal and they dont expect to be paid and how kids can easily be brainwashed.

                             Creativity and Innovation within my project

During this trimester, I really concentrated in what looks I thought about doing in order for it to work for different people, I did different looks, light makeup looks, dramatic makeup looks, a lot of types that would fit for everyone, eye looks that would either make the eye color stand out or make the eye look bigger, makeup looks where we can conceal some features we don't want to show.

Creating makeup looks are much harder than I thought it would be, I thought I'd enjoy creating different looks and everybody would like them, that this class would be super easy and stress free, this project was stressful for me because I wanted to please everybody with my makeup looks, and I probably didn't, but I did please a lot and ended up getting over a hundred followers.

All my looks are original, but did have some inspiration from youtubers such as amarsbai nickitoturials & hudabeauty. Sometimes I would just go with the day and what I'm wearing, what I want the concentration of my look to be.

Most of my issues came from inspiration, there would be some days where I literally didn't know what to do, I didn't know where I'd get my inspiration from, I would watch a lot of videos and nothing would come to me, I take makeup kind of like art to me you need that inspiration and that's probably the most important because if you get an image in your head, you really try and pursue it with a lot of effort.

As for D, I don't really understand it.

This week me and Aya took it into another level by filming a full glam makeup look.
Me and Aya filmed a video on a Valentine's Day inspired full glam look mainly using the Royal Peach Pallete by Kylie Jenner.

Glam makeup is a highly fashionable and is a veritable symbol of femininity. Usually full glam makeup looks tend to have strong impact on the eyes making the eyes look enhanced and even works both for light and dark eyes.

Our look was Valentine's Day inspired since Valentine's Day was this week we thought it would be cool to make a look specifically inspired for the day of love.

For this look we used the newest  eyeshadow Pallete by Kylie Jenner which is the Royal Peach Pallete for eyes, we used the rose water as primer, we used the Anastasia Beverly Hills Creme contour kit, Ardel Demi wispies eyelashes & the better than love mascara.

The photographs, pictures and bloopers will be posted on my Instagram page @makeupbyshammaa

Next week I'm planning on doing a toturial on my first ever classic smokey eye look, it will possibly be posted next Wednesday.

                                             Figured It Out!
The first post I've done on my Instagram page was really complicated and dramatic, so I kept thinking and thinking and I thought I'd do a simple warm makeup cut crease that would look good and bring out light eyes.

A cut crease looks like a lot of work when it's really not, it's only my second time doing a cut crease and it looks really pretty and it looks like it has a lot of work put on when it's really not, it's almost like a makeup hack instead of a makeup look.

As you can see I demonstrated how this eye look would look in lighter eyes, I put on some gray contacts from fresh look tri-color and it looked really pretty.

For this specific look I didn't really need inspiration I just tried doing something different and went along with it and I actually ended up being really really proud of what it looked like.

Today, me and Aya filmed a YouTube video and I was her makeup model, she did a Valentine's Day eye look using the “Royal Peach Pallete.” By Kylie Jenner, we made a bloopers part and it was really fun filming at school and taking pictures.

Making Decisions

Making Decisions

When it comes to makeup with me, i would either just make up what im doing as i am doing it on my eyes, and if it looks good i would go with it,the other thing i would do is look up nickitoturials or Amar Sibai on you tube and seek inspiration from them and add my own twist to it, although this week for some reason i had no inspiration at all.

I tried talking to Aya, asking her on what she thinks would look good on me, and what she was going to do, but still.. NO INSPIRATION.

I tried on many different looks for different occasions,i tried on different colors i never did before but nothing really looked good on me specifically.

This week i have decided to put on makeup on different faces, and see what looks good for different people, i am hoping it works out okay.
