Makeover for Friend: Blue theme

Dear Friends

A few weeks ago, I did an evening makeover look for my friend who will be wearing a blue outfit to a wedding dinner. I used the Eye Color from Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess collection and Elizabeth Arden single color. They are both super pigmented and good quality products that I love.

You can see the swatches of both by clicking the below

Clarins makeover Sept 2011

Dear readers

Apologies for the lack of post. I am still down with flu and cough. In order not to bore you, I will show you my makeover at Clarins 2 weeks ago.

I bought 2 items on impulse. These are unplanned purchase. Nevertheless, I have tried the sample items before.

The makeover was not a detailed one. I would say it was done half heartedly. The artist did not even apply eyeliner for me. I suspect no eye primer was used. You can see how smudgy the eye make up after just 2 hours. Gosh! 

However, I was quite pleased with the photo taken. The photo editor kept on asking me to purchase extra pics but I did not as I think that the makeup was not good at all. I can do a better job. I hope the Clarins people will take note of this.

Enough of ramblings. Here are the pics.

After Makeover - pics taken at home

Can you see the smudges? I hate them. Don't they know that there is such thing called UDPP?

Thankfully the pics turn out ok

Thank you for visiting and have a great day.

Givenchy Makeover August 2011

Dear Friends

I was invited to the Givenchy makeover recently. Chervon of Givenchy extended the invitation to Jess and Jess has kindly extended the invitation to a few lucky bloggers. Thanks Jess!

I have never tried Givenchy products before and know very little about their product.

After using the skincare shown below to prep my skin, Mr Bong, the makeup artist put some makeup base followed by Givenchy Photo Perfexion Light SPF 10 liquid foundation. 

The texture of the Givenchy Photo Perfexion Light SPF 10 liquid foundation is not thick and provides medium coverage. The color used on me was no 6.

Mr Bong is a skillful makeup artist and immediately knew what technique to use for my monolid. He started by applying kohl pencil and smudge the color out followed by applying taupe & brown eye shadow. The result was a more defined eye albeit still small. Overall, I am pleased with the makeover.

The one thing that intrigued me about Givenchy products is that a single color eyeshadow comes in 4 different textures in one. The blushers and loose powder also have the same concept.

Givenchy eye shadow has 4 different textures in one color.

 

The blushes are lovely with 4 tones in one, lovely ya?

Overall, I like the texture of Givenchy products. Unfortunately, they don't last on my oily skin. After about 1 hour, my skin started to oil up. the foundation also oxidized very fast making me looked tanned. The eye shadow also creased on me after 2 hours as I have oily lid. I usually used Urban Decay Primer Potion (UDPP) to prep my eyelid before applying eye shadow. I guess my eye can't live without UDPP my HG shadow base.

As for the Givenchy Photo Perfexion Light SPF 10 liquid foundation, I actually liked the texture and light weight, non-cakey texture. It gives a healthy glow in the picture. Unfortunately I suspect it is not designed for oily skin. My skinned turned super oily after 1 hour or so.  I believe this foundation will suit those with dry or normal skin as it will make the skin glowy.

After makeover

Can you see that my face starts to oil up? I don't fancy oily face though.

I would like to thank Givenchy for the lovely makeover. This is one of the makeovers that I am pleased with albeit the "oily" result. Maybe they have oil control foundation and the makeup artist did not pick that for me.

For those of you who have not tried Givenchy products, do drop by at the nearest counter to check them out.

Dear readers

This is a very short post to show you the before and after photo of my friend and her mom in law. They requested me to do a simple makeup for an evening function. 

The mom in law requested to use red lipstick. Fortunately I have a red lipstick sample from Clarins. That is why collecting sample is useful.

See the pictures and let me know your view. 

I will be doing a giveaway soon. So, stay tune.

Have a lovely day!

Estee Lauder Gossip Girl Makeover Event

On 10 Apr 2010, I went for a one to one makeup event organized by Estee Lauder. 

Before

I was attended by a young and skillful makeup artist, Erich Yap. He shared with me how to create the smokey eye look for monolid and I am happy with the end result.

Although no liquid foundation / powder were used (due to time constraint), the effect is still good. The makeup artist only used some concealer around my eye area. I added the loose powder when I reached home.
