got this from a clipping from the Manila Times under Life and Times posted last June 7, 2007...
Ms. Mari Wild was my professor a few years back and got a formal training from her in one of the most respected schools in the country today...CAS..she is also my great mentor... and also my dear Aunt..(in-law)
When you look good, you feel good. When you feel good, you look even better. When a woman improves her appearance, amazing things happen. She becomes more confident, and this makes her look even better. There are a lot of ways to improve her appearance but the simplest—and surest—way is through the proper use of a “magic” called makeup.
“When it comes to makeup, color is everything,” says internationally trained instructor Mari J. Wild of the Center for Aesthetic Studies (CAS), one of the most respected makeup schools in the country today.
CAS is a division of Isdanco Foundation, a nonprofit organization established to teach people how to help themselves through alternative learning and values formation. It is the center’s commitment to provide quality education at world-class standards while offering alternative teaching methods that enable students to excel.
“Color does not translate into the usual imagery of various mixes or the seven hues of the rainbow. By color, I mean proper tone, mix and timber appropriate for one’s skin tone and even the personality, mood and purpose of makeup,” Wild explains.
But this is not to say that one’s skin tone is limited to wearing only one color. She further expounds that any color may be applied on any skin tone as long as you know the concept of color in relation to various skin tones. “Even the most difficult and hardest to match colors can blend well with any skin type depending on the shade you use,” she adds.
Wild has worked as a beauty consultant for four years at CLAMAR, a Philippine beauty and cosmetics company; as well as her priceless training at The Body Shop in Bath, England. She took further studies in makeup at the Westmore Academy in Burbank, California.
Beauty can be achieved even without cosmetic surgery. “The science of makeup is not something that competes with cosmetic surgery. If people would only realize the benefits of knowing what a good makeup can do to a person, then there’s a huge probability that it can, indeed, make a difference in how one looks and feels.”
