take your breath away...

The Makeover Process
I was both excited and blessed for being able to work with Sabah's best celebrity models Mandy Nandu - state level Unduk Ngadau 2005 & Miss Sabah 2007 as well as Keddy Mahdfuz - Mr.Kaamatan 2008 & winner for the Mr.Photogenic title for the Sabah Supermodel & Manhunk 2008.
Both a star in their field, I decided to make this shoot even greater by involving on of Sabah's top wedding photographer Frisco Daniel who takes extremely beautiful pictures! Check out his blog www.friscod.com for more details.

To start off, I did my makeup for Mandy using a m.a.c base to give her that sheer coverage as she already has beautiful skin. Intensity was mainly on the eyes which I did a socket shadow to give them more depth.
Products used were Strobe cream, Foundation in NC30, Mineralize eyeshadow trio in Danger Zone & Dazzleglass in Sugarrimed - all from m.a.c.

The following are pics from behind the scenes by Doris & Dolly as well as a collage of Mandy's makeup by Frisco on set below.

More behind the scenes footage on set of the outdoor shoot by Doris & Dolly.

It's a wrap! Big cheers to everyone's combined effort!

A big thanks to those who made this shoot a sucessful one :

*Sabah's top models Mandy Nandu & Keddy Mahdfuz

Makeup for Breeze Magazine Shoot

~ 11th December 2008 ~

My ultimate JOY came true one unexpected day when the editor of Breeze Magazine, Jonathan Bong called me up to work with him in a 2 page fashion editorial featuring products from Charles & Keith as well as apparel from mPhosis & eclipse.
I have always been a fan of this publication for quite some time and was beyond excited when I got the chance to feature my work in KK's hottest lifestyle magazine!
Shoot theme & concept was 'Evening Party' so I had to come up with the makeup style that mirrored the editor's requirements.
Products that I used throught this shoot include a mixture of M.A.C, Elizabeth Arden, Elianto, Napoleon & Laura Mercier.
Models for the day was Kohinoor & Francine.
Here are Kohinoor's before & after shots :

Makeup for Hair Show Models

~20th December 2008 ~

One unexpected afternoon, I was given the opportunity to work with one of Malaysia's top hair dressers, Alan Inspiration Salon which operates in Komplex Asia City.
They did a hair show during the Sabah's Supermodel & Manhunk competition held at 1 Borneo Grand Ballroom. If you were there, you would have seen it.
All in all they had 12 models for 3 categories including haircut, high-hair & avant garde.
Here are the collection of pics taken from various photographers during the event.

:: Haircut Models ::
Basically they wanted a very fierce dramatic look as their stage personalities were predators!
Color selection was done by the artistic director of Alan Salon & I did my best to deliver the desired look. As for makeup items I do not recall as they had their own products which I HAD to use.

:: Avant Garde Hair Models ::
Finally after years in this line, I get the opportunity to express my artistic works.
As usual color & concept selection is from Alan Salon & I did my best to deliver the looks on 12 of their models. Here are the pics of me & the models Maria & Grace Kho.

Thanks John & Gerry Kong for the professional pictures! Visit www.bananakk.blogspot.com for more details.
