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.

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.

BRIDAL SIDE BUN FOR THINNING HAIR

Looking the best ever is all bride's dream of her wedding day. But sometimes the hair amount is a serious problem for a bride to be.

As makeup artist & hairstylist, to give her glamorous & elegant look, the most important thing is to create volume as much as possible.  I used back comb technic, and crimped iron for her side hair, then create soft curls and pin it up using normal bobi pin.

Total time needed to complete this hairstyle : 30min.
Hair length : Slightly a little longer than shoulder.
Without hair stuffing ; Nor hair extension.
