Hafiza's Wedding Reception, Natural Day Reception makeup, Lasting Performance

Salam dearies,

I know a lot of you would love to look naturally flawless, minus the thick eye makeup on your wedding day. I appreciate the natural look too, but in todays current weather, light makeup may not last even 2 hours outside. 

Here's an example of natural day reception makeup that looks natural in life and in pic too. Although it looks natural, this makeup is done to over blemish and last at least 4 hours in hot, humid outdoor reception (no aircond). 

Long lasting makeup sometimes looks way to matte, cakey and powdery, but Hafiza's skin pictured here is dewy and looks glowingly natural... like normal skin.

Hafiza is my previous client, you may remember her beautiful emerald outfit, which I had the chance to do her engagement makeup. http://linnaturalbeauty.blogspot.com/2012/12/natural-engagement-makeup-green-and-grey.html

I am honoured and very grateful that Hafiza wanted to work with me again for her husband's side reception in Arau, Perlis. I was absolutely delighted to have a chance to do her makeup again. Thank you very much Hafiza for your trust. I hope you are satisfied with the result. 

Here is the official photographer's link of her outdoor photoshoot done in the peaceful quaint state of Perlis.

Meanwhile this below pics, is from my Nikon... I really liked the photographer's style where they didn't photoshop the pictures to make it look perfect. The brides portrait from their work and my picture looks the same. 

High pigmented foundation from Dermacolor is used to cover blemishes and give lasting performance throughout the day. NARS foundation is layered on top of Dermacolor to give is a natural skin look that is dewy and not too matte. Her glowing cheeks are from Laura Mercier Star Dust Powder. 

Hafiza's nose and cheeks is softly contoured in order to give her a natural sharper feature.

LATEST PORTFOLIO AND SAMPLE WEDDING MAKEUP 2013

KATE Makeup Workshop, Pavilion Part One - PRODUCTS

Some of you may know KANEBO, Japanese based makeup company. But did you know KATE makeup is produced in Japan by the same company?

As soon as Nuffnang Fashion Fab team announced that KATE Malaysia invited japanese makeup artist, Mikiya Hirai who has been in the business for 20 years (although he doesnt look 40+ att all) to do a workshop in Pavilion.... I immediately signup to join in. And it was absolutely worth it.

Firstly, on the products...

2013 collection introduces the Eyeshadow, called Goldish Eyes pallette. Very shimmery quad of colors, very pigmented too. However, you will need to have a good eyeshadow base to make sure minimal gold flecks fall out. Apparently, the gold eyeshadow contains 0.01% of pure gold! W O W!

However my favourite product has to be their Slim Gel Eyeliner. Comes in 2 colors, black and brown. Retails at RM44. Waterproof, sweat, water and SEBUM resistant too!


The beauty of the product is actually the slim point which allows you to line up to in between your lashes! It is so soft because of the gel consistency, tighlining has never been so easy! I love it!

Here's how I use it for tightlining using the pencil liner from KATE. And very lasting too. I did a very thin line about 1/4 of my outer eyes and smudged it for softer look.

My STAR product!

The mascara is also a very lush and volumising. Super staying power.. but removal may need a really good eye makeup remover.

My other favourite product which happens to be inside the goodie bag... is the BB cream. I combined it with KANEBO new Freshel Whitening UV Gel....and I get healthy looking skin.

On days where I want no powder or foundation... I use these 2 to get glowing skin. The BB cream doesn't give greyish cast..in fact my skin looks even naturally.

On the other hand, KANEBO Freshel Whitening UV gel (fragrance free and artificial coloring free) is a dream come true. Imagine a light weight gel that absorbs well into skin, hence to greasy feel.

Five functions rolled into one cream.

LOTION + ESSENCE + EMULSION + CREAM + UV makeup base.

With SPF 26 too...

Yes, I'm loving this one....

There's other products such as powderless liquid foundation... for those on the go, and hates powdering up after wearing liquid foundation.

For more about KATE, visit Facebook KATE MALAYSIA.

Products are available in WATSON and SASA outlets storewide.

MAKEUP TIP AND TRICKS by MIKIYA HIRAI and BEAUTY TIPS from Desmond of KANEBO, brand manager coming up in my next post. Stay tuned.

Skin care philosophy as shared by Desmond.... I believe him.. He has got the most flawless skin seen, WITHOUT makeup.

Makeup tips and tricks by Mikiya.... Actual techniques use to reduce eye bag dark circles appearance, and KATE's campaign photoshoot.

Best Lip Gloss brand, high end and mid range.

 Lip gloss... another magical transformation from drab to dewy, youthful sexy lips effortlessly achieved by using it, either on top of lipstick or on its own.

Lipgloss comes in clear gel-like or, with sheer colors. Some with shimmers, or huge glitters.
The one thing I hate sometimes, is the leak if store horizontally. So, to avoid that, please store gloss vertically/upright. The mess is a pain to cleanup.

Another thing about gloss is.... quality isn't compromised by price range. Beautiful result can be achieved with mid range price brands. And pricier ones, although may come in better looking packaging...the actual product is equally same in terms of final application result with its mid range buddies.

So my favourite choice is....

CHANEL

My mid range fav lipgloss is

KATE

If you guys haven't tried KATE, you should give it a shot. I am in love with the peach colored one. More info, in my next entry for KATE Makeup Workshop in Pavilion recently.

And what is your favourite gloss? C'mon and share with me.

See how battered my CHANEL gloss is.... kesian dia. 

Goddess of Glam makeup for Miss Asia International Winner of 2012 - Femina Chaudhry

Femina Chaudhry was winner for 2012 Miss Asia International. I had a delightful opportunity to work with her during her visit to Malaysia as a judge for the Mrs Malaysia Planet event, held in Palace Of Golden Horses last weekend.

Femina has great features and lovely skin. Her foundation in from Kose, to ensure maximum moisture for dewy skin  effect. Her face base is from Laura Mercier and Embryolisse combined with Lancome Genifique serum.

Femina thought me few tricks and tips herself, doing up hair with gel to ensure maximum sleekness. We concocted a cool glitter body powder by mixing MAC pigments and Laura Mercier Stardust loose powder. She looked amazing!

We were also very lucky to have celebrity makeup artist Rose JR in the house. She was a tremendous help in doing up Femina grand hair and saree. Special thanks to her, for steadfast support and inspiring encouragement always.














Hair is done using fake bun, to build up a grand sleek bun, to suit her grand crown, which i do not have a pic of it.... SO SAD!






Initially her concealer was from Graftobian, but it proved to be too dry and we decided to use liquid lifting concealer from Make Up Forever instead.


Her sweet soft blusher is from MAC, bronzer from MAC too. Her beautiful sultry eyes is from Urban Decay, NAKED series, MAC.

Lips is from MAC and CHANEL. 


Thank you Femina for hiring me!

FaceTips by Lin Elier : A NASTY PIMPLE on my face AND my wedding day is coming soon!

You generally have a good complexion

Suddenly....

A huge ZIT or pimple decides to pay your forehead a visit. Now??!!

This is normal, but what you can do is pay a visit to you're trusted beautician to handle it.

OR, if you got 24 hours to spare....

Here is a home remedy, suggested by Ole Hendriksen Spa (skin care guru, esthetician and Spa Owner)

The best way to reduce inflammation is with warm compress applied directly on pimple area. Gently press with a piece of soft cotton and hold firmly in place, don't rub or glide it on the blemish.
repeat 2-3 times. Now wrap a supersoft tissue around the each index finger and begin to gently press the outer perimeters of the pimples.

Press upwards while gently removing the puss.press and let go, repeat until you see a little blood, which indicates all the infection has been removed. When you're done, drench a small piece of cotton with antiseptic, disinfectant or alcohol and press on the pimple. repeat again an hour later.

NO MAKEUP, concealer or cream should be applied on the spot for at least 8 hours!

Exfoliants should be avoided for several days afterwards.

* Make sure hands are clean or sanitized before doing this.

FaceTips by lin Elier : Skin/Face preparation tips before your wedding day

Generally I would recommend you find a well recommended spa by good friends or family or reputable experienced beautician (NOT well known ya, becoz not ALL luxury spa will yield the result. Trust me, this comes with my own experience)

And book your self into a routine of 2x a month for at least 2 month before, depending on your skin condition. If you have major acne or congested skin, please start earlier.

Start with a good deep cleansing treatments, extraction and what not, to clear up your skin.

It is important to note that, a good natural makeup looks best on a good healthy skin base. Because more amount of makeup will be used to cover up imperfections, if you do not have a good base and will result in a heavy makeup.

So, key of natural looking makeup actually, a GOOD SKIN ! So, invest in your face before investing in make ups.

A week or 2-3 days before wedding, have a good hydrating/firming treatment that is VOID of any extractions. Extraction within a week may not have ample time to heal, before your wedding day.

Avoid micro dermabrasion done to near to your wedding day. Start 3 weeks before, to allow skin to recuperate. Freshly microdermabrasion treated skin may not adhere well to makeup.
