Makeup Fixing Drooping Eyes or Lifting-up An Aging Eyelid

She requested natural makeup for her son graduation, and at the same time also for her family photo shoot. Despite the normal intense type of traditional Javanese makeup, on that day I have to make the makeup as minimal as possible without killing the image of the traditional costume.

Another crucial problem of aging is sagging eye, bulging eye bag, dark circle etc. Once the age is going up the more problem of beauty appears, that need to be fixed by a makeup specialist.

Bellow is sample without photography editing/ photoshop touch up.

Applying proper natural makeup, eye lashes and eyeliner is enough to fix a droopy eyes as a result of aging.

Irene has very short hair, that's way making her hair smooth and  neatly combed with perfect installation of hair bun extension is important. For this case traditional "sanggul" which fixed as a bun to incorporate her total Javanese Traditional Look.

Bridal Makeup Fixing Single Eyelid Bride on Actual Wedding Day

It's always an issue for Asian single eyelid to get it fixed properly and look awesomely lovable on important occasion especially wedding day. For a makeup artist, mastering how to create double eye lid without doing surgery is necessary especially if we are expose to an Asian Oriental eyes.

In this particular case, her problem isn't only her eyes but is also hair, as she has quite thin & soft hair texture.

Before Makeup 

 The steps:

1. Applying Scott tape. For her case I need to get it layered 2 plies to lift her eye up.
2. Applying Motives eye Primer, to the entire eyelid especially on the surface of  the tape. I found this primer quite useful to apply on basis of silicon/plastic surface, making sure that the colors of the eye shadow kept stays stable and wont be patchy or crease after hours.
3. Starting to draw the eye shadow.

The Hair styling.

As I had mentioned above that she has an issue if thinning hair, so there is only one way to settle this problem, I used Glamtime hair extension to most of my brides, if you want to know why I trust this hair extension, please visit http://www.glamtimehair.com/

Bridal Trial Makeup For Her Church & Peranakan Wedding Dinner

Spoken with her through the phone, I knew from the beginnings, Clarissa wanted her makeup & hairstyle to be very simple. That's what I have the impression during her trial day. Kate Middleton bridal day style is her inspiration, which is quite simple makeup with simple half bun hairstyle, not too much & never be over do.

Clarissa has short hair and quite blunt cutting. In order to create the style that she wanted, I used   www.glamtimehair.com extension to create a proper length. The extension made from Remy hair which is real human which go through ceratin process in order to make it not easily tangle & aesy to maintain.

I will post the Actual Day Makeup at different Section because in my opinion, Wedding is still very special, Check how is the makeover and how my signature foundation perform in every bride actual day wedding makeover.

Makeup for Gripz Shoe Campaign Behind the Scene

This is another overdue posting too. Perhaps it's very very late posting. The project happen in July or August 2013. Involving a Photographer, as per normal photo shoot, a fashion stylist, and a product company.

Gripz is Singapore itself-product. I have no comment about the shoe because my capacity is a makeup artist hired to do makeup for the Campaign photoshoot.

For sure I can remember the photographer. Thanks to Adrian Tan, the photographer who called me for this job. Modelled by : Louise Arild. And I am very sorry for forgetting the name of the stylist. anyway He is always awsome.We'd worked for few project together.

The for this Campaign is Spring, that's why I played a lot with fresh vibrant color to display thespring mood.

I was using Studio Fixed Foundation by MAC. It proven very stable, especially for in-door photoshoot. Never the less the [hotoshoot last very long, I couldn't remember how long but for sure it is a whole day typical job. And the foundation amazingly very sturdy. This is one of the reason why I like to use studuio fixed in my indoor photoshoot project, it has the stability to stay matte for long hours. The coverage is medium, so it 's not too thick and it remain natural. The contra of this product is that, I don't recommend to use for skin with a lot of blemish & redness as the coverage is just medium, although it claimed to be build-able but I don't think, it can cover prefectly.

Moods Hair Product Campaign at Bugis Junction

Throwback in January 2014

It's been long time, that I should post this work of mine sometimes in January 2014.

The purpose of this event is to introduce a new styling product in the market name : Moods. The product itself , if I am not wrong was made in Japan or Korea ( apologize for some mistake, since it has been some time I didn' do the record).

Product that I supposed to introduce are : Styling Foam, Hair Setting Spray, the Hair Shampoo, and it's conditioner, and also Hair Shine Serum.

I would say the product is quite okay for customer daily use. It's pretty light and too heavy especially being use in daily basis.

I did simple some casual hairstyling using Moods Product to try on costumer's hair. I have to admit that the product did help in my styling. The foam especially was keeping the hair easier to style, this was usually applicable for extremely smooth hair. Furthermore in for this event, I had showcased mostly braided hairstyling. The foam would assist a lot in giving texture to the hair.

Talking about the hairspray. As I had mentioned above that, it did help even though the holding power isn't expected as strong as it usually a professional product.

Bellow is the pictures I had the opportunity to collect from the exhibition at Bugis Junction :

Side bun experiment

Waterfall braided it looks more exceptionally nice in highlight hair.
