Make up For Wedding Solemnization

When a time a bride enter the world of commitment as partner in love, never the less she wants to look awesome, at the same time she wants to show the world who is. Solemnization or ROM in Singapore is crucial because at the day a man is willing to tie a not with her.
Unlike the Actual day wedding, the makeup usually pretty much more simple, but still need to showcase the beauty of the most beautiful lady that a gentleman choose to commit for better of worse for his entire life.

When Sylvie approach me to be her makeup artist for her Solemnization day, I know that she take the ceremony seriously. The couple choose the SEA Ocean Dome as the venue. Understanding clearly that the location is dark, I have to prepare that her makeup shall be intense to be able to bring up her look feature in that certain condition.

The make over - in the morning. She has single eyelid which she had mention to me  beforehand , she need the eyelid to be corrected.



After  a little adjustment, her single eyelid eyes now has double line. This way of proper placement of tape correction will also giving a power to  lift up and open her eyes up, both side, at the inner part & at the outer part.




Now, the drawing & painting part.

Drawing :
Make sure the tape is invisible, cutting the tape exactly to the size that is required, it definitely needs skills.
Drawing the eye makeup , applying enough depth to disguise the tape.
Drawing the eyeliner to seal and at the same time giving a definition to the eyes.

Painting:
Contouring skills is crucial, very few of us born with the perfect shape & feature of face, that's the reason why painting of the base to create flawless complexion is the key part of overall makeup.

Technic to place the Eyelashes.

Many clients are asking what is the different between, bridal eyelashes and normal dinner eyelashes. They are not only different in terms of "comfort", but also different in "shape" and "application". Unlike dinner eyelashes which can be pretty dramatic & fashion in style, bridal eyelashes has to carry a power to pop the eyes up, to make the bride look subtle but radiant. That means, proper placement is key point.

Back again to our topic, Considering the venue has minimal lighting,  the only light that will be used later for her photography is the flash which is extremely powerful to wash her makeup away, that  is the reason the makeup has to be intense enough,  but adequate to make her feature look naturaly beautiful.

Bellow, is the complete look of makeover from the time I haven't touch her face, into the time when she took selfie on herself after the makeup done.

Aha!!! Seeing two different person? They are the same person, just the makeup that do "Magic" without going under the knife. It withstand for at least 8 hours perfectly and can go up to 12 hours to 16 hours without touch up depending on the skin condition.



The following is The Hairdo look.
When it's time to do hair styling, I always check with the bride what kind of hairstyle she wants. Hair styling is like a package cover, it will complete to overlook and giving the overall image of the person's personality.
She wants simple sweet looking hairstyle that will portray her as young energetic sweet woman, intelligent, full of idea & caring person,  just like her real personality. Her natural hair is extremely straight, with strong persistent to heat & chemical process, considering this as a reason, the curl has to be smaller & more intense.

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.
