First Wedding of the Year (2013) :Bride Nash

Nash got me as her Tinghun and Wedding make up artist. Her friend is

my former bride too. I have come to know her thru our exchange of messages both from the phone and internet. She loves the natural but blushing make up on her wedding choosing peachy earth tones with a hint of pink for that blushing look.

Make up Look:

Airbrush make up foundation, eye shadow base and blush.

Peach,champagne and brown and a little of shimmer on the eyes.

Subtle pink for the cheeks and semi-matte mauve rose on her lips.

Hairstyle:

The hairstyle was left for us to decide. But she just wanted something that will not expose much of the shape of her face.Although in my opinion, her face shape was a bit flattering to her.She chose half-up and down for the church ceremony veering away from the usual updo . Then at the reception, I made it a point to really bring out the best of her beautiful face by just being "natural". I fixed her hair as if she could just do it herself but with more control and volume.

New powder foundation discovery!

I have been searching for my new powder foundation as Kate Tokyo discontinued my fave😞(see the black case) Sorry for the ugly dirty case as it was stuck inside my drawer for a long time.Anyway, a friend told me about SilkyGirl make up! She told me it's really making her look flawless! Which I think it is! I bought my own powder foundation at Robinson's Galleria and oh,wow, my friend was right! I don't even need to use concealer. I know some people prefer to use liquid but I tend to use matte powder foundation because it gives me that polish and clean look. I chose the cute Magic BB Oil-Control Pure Fresh Powder All-In-One because I don't have to use any concealer. Comes in a small cute plastic case that fits perfectly in my palm. It has SPF 45 which says: Shine-free Matte finish Long wearing Fragrance-free Formulated for Asia Skin I got the number 01- Fair because of the yellowish and light tone. Will post pics when my skin adjusted to my natural color... I'm s

It's been a long time...

Oh my, it's been a long time since I have last posted something about work... and I think it has been a year already to be exact! Anyway, I won't make any promises but I will really try my very best to post works more often and perhaps share more about what ladies often want to learn more. Even the men can join too. And to share some more today, I almost gave up being a make up artist! Probably one of the reasons why is because, most people nowadays are becoming more and more of a critic and doesn't know what real art is. I had a lot of experiences, really bad ones, that I almost lost myself but I just prayed to God. Then, it happened...I still get blessings from Him. They just kept pouring in. I couldn't even believe it myself but I always thought God was the one who is telling me to slow down. To enjoy. To do my best. Now, I'm grateful.This is me, still working and surviving.... after 13 years. Thank you God. I am grateful.

New packaging! New formulation?

This is again an update of the pressed powder I'm using! I just couldn't believe why I switched from a luxurious brand I was using before into this! I mean, it's nothing negative as this is still an Asian brand as it says "Made in Thailand" . This is actually good. The pressed powder is medium coverage for me like a foundation and I like that it covers my imperfections without using any concealer. Even my dark undereyes were magically covered! I will post the before and after pics soon😊 Anyway, the new packaging is very handy and cute with a mirror inside! However, the scent is kind of "off" for me.I can't quite place it. The old version doesn't have that smell and is actually quite "unscented" (I have to do the sniffing again once more just to be sure). I tried the powder again this time and I think it's just like before! My face looks flawless and blends into my skin after a few minutes! It's just the smell that's bothe
