So BIG thanks to him for teaching me online! See if you can spot the diffrence!Enjoy!

~ 12 & 13th December 2008 ~

My second bride for the month was Miss Senarti who had her Malam Berinai ceremony on the 12th night of December.
For her look I did a natural makeover to suit her grey lace & satin outfit.
Her are her before & after pics :

As you can see, her makeup was kept to a softened effect to give her that innocent look
& I tried my best to conceal her uneven skin tone & texture.
Lips were kept to a nude yet glossy tone to give emphasis to her eyes.

As for her second look on the 13th, I decided to use warmer colours to give radiance to her look.
As usual I focused more on here eyes & had to exert double effort into helping her achieve that flawless finish.
Overall she was happy with her transformation thanks to me & a little help from colored lenses!

~ 21st December 2008 ~
This was a bride recommended by my friend Anne Soffie.
The bride was a primary school teacher based in West Malaysia together with her husband.
This makeup was for her evening reception in Sembulan &
here are her before and after shots:

As the makeup was intended for the evening, I opted for darker shades &
enhanced her skin tone to make her look fairer.
After all a personal request from the bride.
I used Revlon's face prep to smoothen her skin & continued her foundation using m.a.c NC32.
Her base was then set with loose powder.

For her lids I went with colors to compliment her outfit & used a metallic silver for her lids.
Lips were colored with a soft apricot peachy tone & blushed using Body Shop bronzer.
Her hair was set into a high crown & curled her the bangs to give her face shape.
The look was finished off with hair extentions.

A shot with the bride before heading home after a tired day!

Bridal Makeup for Nikah, Berinai & Sanding Reception

December was a busy time for me & had no time to update my bridal works for my blog.
Any how I am still keeping my promise to posts all my work as requested by my beloved clients.
This was one of my work for Ana who had her engagement ceremony on :
~ 2nd December 2008 ~
Here she is before makeup at her residence in Kepayan Ridge :

For her engagement I just went with the simple & clean look,
focusing more on soft radiant skin & a natural finish.

~ 3rd December 2008 ~
Her wedding reception was held at the Dewan PPS, Sembulan as early as 10am which lasted till 5 in the evening!
Here she is all dolled up for her 'berinai' ceremony.
The bridal boutique actually sent the wrong dress so we just had to make do with what we had.

Focus as always, evolved around intensive eye shadow, heavy liner, the works!
She wore a reddish tone which meant I had to 'up' the lipcolor to compliment her look.
It was indeed a challenge to keep her looking refined without over doing it because
not everyone can carry red well!

Moving on to her next change for her 'sanding' ceremony, blue was all the rage!
You know I never liked blue makeup on anyone unless required & this was inevitable ;)
So I tried to work my way through & gave her a more lush lipcolor & a change of eyes shadow.

Some may think this might be over the top for a bride but it all depends on lighting really.
In reality, it doesn't look this harsh but only when captured in film from a close distance.
All in all I am still satisfied that her complexion was ever so radiant & stood throughout the entire ceremonies. That' s why we pay for expensive products for better quality makeup!

Anyways here she is with me above & below again with her youthful looking husband!

Bridal Makeup for Reception @ Dewan PPS, Sembulan

~ 22nd November 2009 ~

With one event after the other it's been tough to keep track of all the work that I have done. However I will not let all my beloved fans down!
Here is another Bride that I made up in Dewan PPS, Sembulan.
When I met her, her initial concerns were heavy makeup.
She was worried that she'd look like a drag queen as she had an unpleasant experience with a previous makeup artist who did her makeup in her village in Membakut. Yikes!
So I after some talk and assurance, I promised to give her a very sweet & soft look.
Here she is before and after :

For her base, I had no trouble smoothing out as she had one of the most finest skin I've seen.
So I focused more on her eyes which were rather inverted.

I simply used m.a.c's shadow in Ricepaper as her base and defined it with brown shadow & a set of heavy lashes to give her eyes more omph!

Lips were simply finished off with a pale pink from Laura Mercier & blushed from m.a.c's dollymix.
With the happy & blushing bride :

The married couple so in love !
