Step-By-Step Process

Today I didn't have much to do and so I really wanted to do a spontaneous makeover. So I called one of my models to practise on. Turns out she had to go out for dinner straight after the makeover session.

So, instead of using Kryolan foundation, which I only use for stage and weddings, I switched back to the more subtle foundation, GloMinerals.

We decided to take step-by-step pix for those interested in seeing the makeup in stages...I personally love to see this sort of thing!

This is the 'before' shot. No make-up at all. You'll notice that my model has few blemishes....not to worry, when you have make-up ..that is.. hehhe ;p

STAGE 1 : CONCEALOR & FOUNDATION

Foundation...and a bit of concealor under the eyes. This is a liquid foundation. I chose a foundation colour close to her natural skin tone. Already the blemishes on her cheeks are covered

STAGE 2 : SHADING, HIGHLIGHTING & POWDER

I know she was only going out for dinner and not 'getting married' but I couldn't help do a bit of shading around the nose and cheekbones and also a bit of highlighting around the eyes, nose bridge and chin...just a little bit.

Then I applied the powder over and created this nice, soft, matte finish.

STAGE 3 : EYEBROWS, EYESHADOW & EYELINER

Totally forgot about re-shaping her brows coz I was too fixated about finishing her look so she could get to her dinner!! Oh well...I just defined them with a brow pencil. Gave her just natural eyeshadow with a tiny bit of green at the bottom. And then I used a cream eyeliner.

STAGE 4 : BLUSHER

Gave her just a natural peach blusher. Why is everything sooo natural? Coz she is one of the very many people in Brunei who don't normally over do her makeup on a daily basis like I do..hehhe...and so I didn't want to give her a heartattck...therefore, it has to seem natural enough that she won't feel overly conscious .. hehhehe...

Here's a closed eye shot of the makeup so far.....

STAGE 5: LIP LINER, LIP STICK, LIP GLOSS, MASCARA & FALSE LASHES

Lastly...!! Lips!! Again..fairly natural....and I decided to give her a demi lash...that's one lash cut into half and then overlapped. It's to give it a more - natural - look.

And the makeup is COMPLETE!

So amazing what makeup can do....!!

Pakai tudong...hehhe..

Final closed eye shot...

And here are shots of her becoming increasingly vain!! This tends to happen after I'm done with a makeover....I see it as a good thing in this case!! hahaha..
