EOTD : Rainbow Eyes Makeup with Make Up For Ever

Yesterday I got some time to kill while waiting for an event to start, so Sephora KLCC was the perfect place to loiter and to check out some stuffs. While doing my beauty rounds, I looked at the mirror & thought that my makeup looked so plain. Then I remembered that morning I was in the rush to go out and just simply did natural brown makeup.

This is my "rainbow eyes" after playing with the colours !

And I am feeling so good because been some time I have not really play with colours because I always have to do quick makeup before I got to out out in the morning :)  

I always wanted to try Make Up For Ever Aqua cream and since all SAs were so busy serving customers, I went on try out Aqua Cream colours to "brighten up" my look. Those marked in stars is the colours that I picked up; i.e Pink Beige, Warm Beige and Intense Blue for their existing collection! 

I also picked up some of the colours from their latest Aqua Summer Collection ; i.e Delicate Pastel Green & Deep Iridescent Mauve! The green is so pretty...!!!! 
The Aqua Cream is an ultra-pigmented, long-lasting waterproof cream. Highly concentrated in mother-of-pearl pigments, it provides an immediate color intensity with a luminous finish. Its long-lasting formula will not crease or smudge under the most extreme conditions.

Oh  I love love love these Aqua cream, so easy to use...and seriously wanted to buy all those colours that I used! There is no real technique and I just use my finger to it glide it through.... so easy because the texture is so smooth...even I was applying on top on my existing eye colour. The Aqua cream colour is vibrant and really long lasting! Each Makeup Forever Aqua cream selling at RM 95 

Aqua Eyes is a waterproof liner pencil. Highly pigmented, its unique formula adheres to the eyelids and doesn't run or fade even under the most extreme conditions. Its fluid, creamy texture glides onto the skin and doesn't irritate the eye contour.
I also used Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes too! Picked up Gold, Majorelle Blue and Turquoise! This eyeliner is creamy, glides on smoothly and the colours are so pigmented! It stay on the whole night without smudging or anything....and this is really making me falling in love with colour eyeliner! Each Makeup For Ever Aqua Eyes is selling at RM 64 (if not mistaken). 

I applied Warm Beige Aqua cream all over my eyelid and from inner of my eyes applied pink beige.then applied a little bit of Delicate Pastel Green & Deep Iridescent Mauve as I applied outward. At the corner of the eyes I applied Intense blue Aqua cream.

At the first half of my upper lid on the lash line, I used Turquoise Eyes pencil eyeliner and finish it off with Majorelle Blue. To enhance the look I used Aqua Liner in Gold on my waterline. 

Note: In the morning, I am using Lunasol Skin Modeling Water Liquid Foundation OC 03, Jane Iredale Pressed Mineral Powder in Warm Sienna, Lavshuca Melting Eyes OR-1 palette, K-Palette Zero Kuma Concealer 01, Nars Orgasm Blusher and Maybelline Cat Eyes Colossal Mascara.

To finish off the look, I simply picked up a nude pinkish lipstick from Laura Mercier & applied Benefit Sugarbomb Blusher :)

Do you like my rainbow eyes makeup ? 

Should I do this more often?


p/s: Maybe I should dig out those pigment and colourful eyeshadow to play with...one of these day!

My Beautiful Hair Makeover by Kevin Woo, Founder and Creative Director of Centro Hair Salon!

 
As you all know, I had a haircut last year and I went really short. Well it looked fine but not great because the hair colour is uneven, dull and looking unhealthy... basically my hair looking lifeless.

So I accepted an offer for a hair makeover at the Centro Hair Salon in The Gardens Mall, Midvalley last week. Afterall I had changed my hairstyle, why not giving my hair a new life by colouring?

The interior of Centro Hair Salon in Gardens Mall is in stylish black, giving a modern, chic and classy feel as I walked in! I learnt that they have different areas for different purposes which makes it is an exclusive affair for for customers to enjoy their hair being pampered!

As I sat down, I was offered coffee, tea and juice. I was then served with a chill cup of orange juice and a Hokkaido Chiffon Cupcake to keep my tummy happy! Oh yummy..love their service!

 
I'm feeling like a princess, after getting a royal treatment from Kevin & his assistant Jay!

I heard of Kevin Woo name for the longest time and I get to know better from last year L'oreal Colour Trophy Award 2012. I was told that Kevin has came a long way before he was known as the winner of Winner of 2006 L’Oreal Color Trophy & 3 other subsidiary awards. He entered hair industry since 1990 and after returning from Singapore in 1998, he started a humble outlet at Sg Wang plaza in 2002 and later moved to Gardens Mall for re-branding in 2007. And now Centro Hair Salon has 3 outlets, one in The Gardens Mall and two in Suria KLCC Mall.

After Kevin looked at my hairstyle, skintone,personality and few other things, he recommended me to colour my hair red. He said it would make my hair looking alive and skin looking fairer than before! And that is exactly what I wanted!


After a good hair wash, Kevin started by highlight my hair using L'Oreal Professional Majirouge - Permanent Hair Color Magenta Red after carefully sectioning my hair.

 For the rest of the remaining hair, he used a mixture of L'Oreal Professional Majirouge - Permanent Hair Color Dark Blonde Intense Red & Light Brown Intense Indescent.

He said the result of the hair colour would be dimensional and the highlight will give texture to my hair and complements my whole look.
 
And just before the colouring, Kevin applied this L'Oreal Stillcap Scalp Protector on my scalp. He said that this is a pre-treatment before colour, which it will protect the hair scalp and reduce discomforts such as itching and stinging of my hair scalp. And true enough, I did not experience any itchy or stinging on my hair scalp during my colouring session! 

I didn't know L'oreal has this awesome stuff !

Looking like an alien during the colouring.

After my colouring is done, I can't wait to see my hair... but before that Kevin treat my new coloured hair with a mixture of Kérastase Pixelist together with Kérastase Concentre Fusio-Dose-Booster Polyphénols which is a highly concentrated protective treatment for colour-treated hair to ensure lasting color radiance and hair fiber repair.

And finally my hair makeover is done! 

 This is my before picture, looked how my hair looked dull, unhealthy and lifeless.

 Presenting to you, the Before & After picture! 

See how much a good hair colour makes such a big difference! 

It was such a perfect combination of colours and now I know why he is the 2006 L'oreal Colour Trophy Winner and he has celebrities clients such as Amber Chia, Daphne Iking, Lynn Lim, Jojo Goh, Atilia, Syafinaz Selamat and Vanidah Imran. 

My After picture (indoor lighting), from all angle. I love the first instant I looked into the mirror!
 
See the beautiful highlight that Kevin did, it was really nice & not too striking which gives just the perfect glow to my hair! The colours looked different from every angle, reddish, brownish and purplish too!

And I knew a hairstylist need to have certain skills & experience when comes to colouring, because one has to take into account of the existing hair colour, hair texture, hairstyle, skin tone, colour mixture and timing..and Kevin has it all!

Thank you Kevin & Centro team for inviting over to be the first blogger to enjoy the hair makeover & it was really an honour and I love looking into the mirror every now and then to admire my beautiful coloured hair!

My hair has a new life and this is the best hair colour I had so far. 

And it is just a month away from Chinese New Year, why not a hair makeover for yourself too!


p/s: And to those who asked me how much is the price of my makeover, with my hair length and the two tones hair colour ( colour & highlight) this cost around RM448.

FOTD : How to create the Party Look that steals attention!


Happy Saturday people!

I know I haven't been quality of not posting Face of the Day (FOTD) for quite a while. The reason is nowadays I am into natural makeup because it is fast to do & match with any of my outfit. However yesterday I took some effort to mix & play with the colour rather than having the boring natural eyes makeup for a change, as I'm attending a party at this very new & nice skybar in Tower 3 KLCC at night. I love how Marini's 57 club has a very nice view of the whole KL city from 57 floor! 
  
Well I planned to wear a red lacey dress & I wanted to do something to make people notice my makeup so I decided to do blue-ish & greenish smokey eyes instead of the common black & brown colour and pair it with striking pink lip colour from the New Shiseido Lacquer Rouge! 

So let's see how do I create the Party Look that steals attention!


The 10 products that I used in my FOTD
  1. Burberry Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base
  2. Shiseido Radiant Lifting Foundation SPF 15 (Review here)
  3. YoungBlood Hi-Definition Hydrating Mineral Perfecting Powder (Translucent)
  4. Estee Lauder Blue Dahlia Five Colour Eyeshadow Palette
  5. Lunasol #03 Gentle Variation eye palette from Auroral Purification 2010 Collection 
  6. L'oreal Paris Lash Architect 4D Mascara in Black
  7. Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner N in Jet Black 
  8. Avon Brown Definer in Dark Brown (Review here)
  9. Shiseido Lacquer Rouge in Disco RS404
  10. Avon True Colour Blush in T420 Cool Plum
*Now I remembered that I also used Maybelline Angel Fit Perfect Concealer but forgot to include in the picture*



Close up of my eyes makeup.



My striking hot pink lip using the New Shiseido Lacquer Rouge in Disco RS404 , a full review of this will be up soon!

How do you like my look, do you think it steals your attention?

Well I broke the tradition of having heavy smokey eyes using black colour and instead I went to mix the blue & green eyeshadow to create a softer smokey eyes to match my striking hot pink lip colour!               

It's my intention to make Shiseido Lacquer Rouge in Disco RS404 to be the highlight of the makeover. And I think it was a sucess because it did steal the attention the moment I walk into the party! 

p/s: I really like how Shiseido Lifting Radiant Foundation on my skin as it has really good coverage yet looking natural on my face. Like I said before, it basically help to "photoshop" my face!

Do you wish to see more of my Face of the Day makeup ?

If YES leave me a comment and I shall consider doing it more!
