hmm.. im not sure if my make up is even correct.. usually i jus tembak, trial and error until i get something tht looks decent.. haha.. now i apply..

1. liquid foundation (light colour) to cover up my eye bags (reli panda eyes ) n then natural beige liquid concealer to put back the colour.. doesnt cover all but reduces
2. liquid concealer on the blemishes etc
3. 2 way cake foundation thingy..? makes my skin look abit fairer and even out..
4. puff puff blusher, acts as a bronzer to make d cheeks less pale and give tht.. 'glow' lol
5. Black liquid eyeliner with mild glitter (cos i cant handle the non-glitter ones.. its too liquid and hard to apply lol) apply along the eye lashes.. but quite thick cos i dun have double eyelids and a thin line would disappear completely
6. Silkygirl silver eyeliner pencil.. apply abit near the tear ducts below the eye (heard it enlarges the eye??)
7. eyelash curler, maybelline unstoppable and maybelline turbo
8. a very light pink lipstick from maybelline.. duwan too 'coloured' cos it makes me look very kua zhang (basically, its not nice)
9. light pink-orangey Etude Lipgloss to make it look nicer (i rarely apply this)

basically.. i think my make up is too much now lol.. this whole process takes me like.. 45 minutes if im fussy cos i dun reli knw how to apply well >.<

Hmm..not sure if i'm posting in the correct thread. I have a photo assistant, who needs to brush up her make up and hairstyling techniques. So I wanted to help her out, wondering is there any video or tutorial DVDs that I can purchase online?

Streaming video would be better!! Or any blog around that I can surf and have a look?

Anyway, thought that you girls will know alot. Hope to get some feedback. Cheers all!

wanna ask...wat is 2 way cake? is it loose powder?

and i heard that make up base isnt necessary....after u clean your face, tone, mosturize, and put sunscreen..then can start put foundation. is it true?

2 way cake can be applied either wet or dry

make up base is subject to your preference, but it's always better to have make up base on before anything.. the effects may vary according to the color of the base

i always thought we should apply concelaer 1st before foundation??and if i have medium skin tone,not fair nor too dark,wat colour shud we choose for concealer?eg for 2 types 1 is light beige 1 is natural beige?bcoz as u say we shud choose concealer which is lighter than our skin type??

hi, do you know any make up class? I'm interested to take DIY make class.

My simple make up for presentable look

1. Concealer: under eyes and at the side of lips (I don't know what you call this place, but I see a lot of make up artists do it LOL. and it makes ur make up look more flawless...) I use a concealer stick and then dab with my finger to even it out...

2. Foundation: i use the body shop all in one face base. i wet the sponge a bit if i want a fuller/heavier coverage. for normal usage, i just apply it dry.

3. Loose powder: with a big powder brush to seal it all in.

4. Eyeshadow: basic dark brown on the crease of my eyelids using a blending brush.

5. Eyeliner: i use black on my bottom lids only. I love maybelline auto eyeliner. Intense colour and easy application.

6. Mascara: heavy and black on my upper lashes to even out the eyeliner on my bottom lids.

7. Blusher: currently i'm using sasa blusher, but i can't find it in sasa anymore. seems they've stopped producing it

8. Lipstick: i apply a thick coat and then i purse my lips on a tissue. It becomes matte and very natural looking!

9. Optional Gloss: when i feel bored hehehe

This might look complicated and time consuming but i've done it in 5 minutes before. I can even apply make up when i'm already running late!

Practice makes perfect!
