Mary Quant Makeup Workshop

Dear Friends

Recently I attended the Mary Quant makeup workshop organised by Manoah Consulting. It was a fun-filled afternoon playing with colours. It was my first encounter with Mary Quant makeup and I am quite impressed with the colour range and product offerings.

We learnt about Mary Quant makeup technique imparted to us by Ms Takaki, a Japanese makeup artist. Ms Takaki did a step by step makeup demonstration for us and we did our hands-on makeup on ourselves. I really enjoyed the session as her explanation was clear due to her good command of the English language.

I was very excited to see the colour range offered by Mary Quant. The Black Daisy brand signature looks really cute! I learnt that the cute daisy was born out of Mary Quant's childhood scribbles.

I like the concept of mix and match palette that Mary Quant created. It allows us the freedom to choose the colours that we like to create our own special customised palette.

First, we prep our face with Mary Quant Oil Zap on our T-zone area followed by Mary Quant Moisture Zap on other areas not covered by Oil Zap. It is important not to overlap in the application of these 2 products. As I have oily skin, I applied Oil Zap all over my face. The texture is smooth and matte.

 

We then prep our eyes with Mary Quant Eye Gloss, a moisturising eye foundation. I noticed that it brightens my eye area. This is a treatment eye foundation that can cover dark circles and dullness. It also can enhance the eye shadow colours to be more vivid.

Next, I applied Mary Quant Smoo Make powder foundation in 40 Natural (suggested by Ms Takaki). I like the super fine texture of the foundation. The colour suits me really well. I like powder foundation as it is easy to apply and hassle free compared to liquid. After the powder foundation, I applied Mary Quant loose face powder in 03 Natural. The finishing is lovely. 

Next is the most interesting part to me - Mary Quant Eye Opener. Ms Takaki taught us how to use shades of purple to create a very subtle look. The eye shadow is very fine and easy to apply. It adheres well to the eye lid. The colour is quite buildable.

Ms Takaki did a demo on my friend's eye and the result is very lovely indeed.

Mary Quant Action Lashings Lenthening Mascara comes in 7 shades and I tried the 05 Brighton Blue. The colour is very impressive. The mascara is very special as the applicator has a 2 sided coil and chip brush which features short raised bristles on one side and the oil gel formula that gives the mascara its elasticity. The mascara lengthens my lashes and gives more definition.

Mary Quant Brow Line eyebrow pencil comes in 3 colours and I used 01 charcoal grey as my brows are very dark. Thereafter, I used the Outline pencil to line my upper lid. The outline pencil comes in 19 impressive shades.



After applying Mary Quant Blush Baby Power Cheek Blush, I applied Mary Quant Moisture Rich Lipstick. I mixed 2 colours. Mary Quant Lipstick comes in 20 colours. The light purple colour looks pale but when applied on the lips, it gives a very nice nude effect. I topped it with the red one to create a medium colour which I really like. The lipstick is quite moisturising and can be applied straight without first applying any lip balm.

And the finishing look is really nice and chic. The look is very natural and suitable for office and leisure. Thanks to Ms Takaki for imparting her knowledge and makeup skills to us. Hope to see her again.

Good Skin Labs Workshop - Sculptinex

Sometime ago, I went to a workshop organized by Good Skin Labs. They are introducing a new product called Sculptinex.

This product is abt RM200 plus. It promises to reshape the face and give you the face lift effect provided you use it religiously. Same goes with any product, right?

I believe that this product can work if you use it daily as instructed. Else, no point buying it.

The product comes with a roller and we have to roll on to our face upward as shown below. The roller is detachable for cleaning which I think is very good.

Tsuya-Tsuya Korean Night Diva Makeup Workshop

Few weeks ago, I attended a makeup workshop by Tsuya-Tsuya. Thanks to Vonvon who posted the invitation on her blog.

Though it was a very brief workshop (less than 1 hr), we managed to learn about the Korean Diva Night Makeup.  

The criteria of a Korean Night Diva Look is shown in the slide below:

The makeup artist working on a model.

 

 For the Korean Diva look, BB cream is applied on the face with no loose powder. I am not a fan of BB cream as I have very oily skin and need to put loose powder to set the makeup. I used color 23 which is very close to my skin tone.

 

My eye makeup which I did on myself using NYX eyeshadow and Tsuya-Tsuya Gel Liner in purple. I only used the mascara without the extra lengthening fibre because of time constraint.

 

 

 

What do you think about this look? I think I need to do darker shading as I am a monolid person.

Have you heard of Tsuya-Tsuya before?

I will be sharing my Lancome makeover soon. Stay tune...

Soulful Feet Workshop

Hi girls, this is a workshop which I attended in Oct 09. Sorry for the delayed post.

Pictures taken with the organisers, lovely girls

 

What we have learnt is about our feet and how important to wear the correct shoe to avoid bunion, corn etc.

Summary of the important points in the workshop:

1. If we wear shoes with poor support and no cushioning can irritate the tissue in the foot known as planter fascia.

2.Our foot has a natural arch, so we must wear shoes that support the arch.

3. If we sprain our ankle, we should perform RICE - Rest, Ice (put ice), Compress (bind the ankle) & Elevate

The representative from Good Skin Labs, Ms Ng Soo Chien did a product demo on the right side of my face. The products used were:

1. Citra Peel (Step 1 - active ingredients: grapefruit & lemon)

2. Citra peel (Step 2 - contains aleo vera)

3. Eyliplex-2 Day Gel

4. Tri-aktiline (the star product) - smooth away lines & wrinkles instantly!
