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!

hello... i know one website that provide makeup class www.hdimagestudio.com

haha`i just take few steps =.="

1. apply BB Cream first
2. mac eyeliner gel`draw the eyeliner then, i have no double eyelids so i have to draw it thicker too, if not it will disappear then, same as yingjee said
3. i use 3 mascara == maybelline..first one, the blue n white punya, i use the white part to brush the front eyelashes first, then use anna sui mascara brush again (looks like longer), lastly maybelline XXL`volume! lol...my eyelash was short`somemore single eyelids T__T
4.the face shop lip gloss then mac lip glass.. =]

but i think i cant make it reli well too`

seriously i dont know how to use those foundation ==

i think the make up will definitely melt in this hot weather!

i suck at this make-up thingy~

thank you fpr sharing the class~ appreciate it

I see lotsa girls apply lower eyes eyeliner.. I tried on myself using (gel.. liquid..pencil..) but all smudge..

Any pros here know which brand I should use..? or is there any technique that after apply wont smudge?

Anyone knows any good and high pigmented kohl (black) eyeshadow brand? i've been using the brand FACES, bought years back at Midvalley but now no longer there.. and cant find it anywhere in KL..

Thanks !! im learning it for my girlfriend lolz >.< she's a lazy person to make up... now im her make up artist lolz xD

I bought Pupa eyeliner from Sasa last year, I like it very much! it is very black! and can apply very thick.
recently I am using Gel eyeliner, from Sasa also, addicted to it!

you can try the in2it black liner. it's not the gel/liquid/pencil one. it's the one which seems like a crayon.
the liner is not with me now, so i cant remember what its called.
but, it's <RM20 only.
available at any guardian/other pharmacies.
and also, another item you can use, is an eyelid primer.
it will ensure that the makeup will not stray.
hope this helps!

What make up tools should I use if I only want a really simple and natural look make up like in the pic? And how can I use BB Cream? Will I still need foundation, concealer and powder if I'm using BB Cream? Trying to learn... Newbie in make up

It depends on the types of foundation & concealer you use. EX if you using liquid concealer, it should before "2-way cake" / after "liquid foundation".
concealer use for covering your dark circles, blemish & pigments. If you do not have these condition i guess you are blessed then u dont need to apply concealer as with foundation itself can helps our skin turn into even tone. If you have serious dark circles ( especially nose sensitive or sinus ) i will suggest you use orange color concealer. reddish, acnes can use green concealer. freckles can use yellow or beige color 1 tone darker than your skin followed by lighter beige cover on it =)

Added on April 7, 2011, 11:22 amtry to avoid using pencil eyeliner?

usually for lower eyeliner i will apply on the roots of lashes instead of the water line as it also smudges easily~~~

Added on April 7, 2011, 12:58 pmhehehehe.... if you have fawless skin like baby, no heavy foundation needed. To archive this kind of look infornt of camera, heavy foundation ( those for shooting / bridal makeup or stage ) will needed as the outcome on the photo will appear "fawless" but when you see it closely ( i mean you stand infront of the model ) you'll see the foundation is at least 1 inch thick
