The female model had, namely 2 looks - Smokey eyed, ala Nicole Kidman in Chanel No.5 and a 'wet look' as the second more refreshing take, courtesy of Miss Pristiq. The male model had only 1 look though - Oily abs. Hahahahaa... One cannot do with an obscene 8 packs. I should have asked for one pair to be donated to me!

Anyway, there is so much work put in each picture that it becomes unimaginable for me to think of anyone not giving any credit to good fashion spreads they see in magazines. The next time you do come across one, savour it, worship and lick it all up. It's hell a lot of hard work pumped in by the make-up artistes, hairstylists, stylists and photography team!!!

Slightly outdate pictures on the top - After Xiz's house visit, met up with lil' Lulu in town. Nini's very cute Topshop animal necklace got in the way of her boobs (WAHAH), GP3 came out looking like total SHIT, miniature panties mannequins are so cute. :)

Been moonlighting at Mac's, so that explains the red cap I'm wearing beside YR. Oh, and that fat face too. By the way, someone got a brand new earhole.

Guess WHOOOOO... ;)

Pardon the highness. It is, after all, a weekend and I've just came home from shoppppppping.

Home Visit. Fed Up

Xizzy was such a naughty kid! The visit we paid to her mum totally confirm all our suspicions about her as a supper fighter warrior kid. Tsktsk. ;) Now we have enough evidence for blackmail! :P Horrrrrrrrrrrr.

*** (on a completely different topic)
I'm so fed up with the ignorant people.

"I think you look better without your make-up."

Grrrrrrrr.

What do you know and why do you care?

Ignorance, not always bliss.

Make Up Forever III

Smoke attack! The result of 2 hours of practice and another 1 and a half hours of the real thing. This picture makes it look deceptively simple. Trust me, you'd be amazed by the amount of work put into just one eye. The blending took forever... Heh. I LOVE IT! Doesn't this look more like a proper eye now? :D

And hey, it's not every day that I get to be a model, so here's a mini photojournal! :)

Yo, waddap. The pop rock gansta says hi. ;) The blush looks kinda harsh under this lighting but I'm really digging the smokey eyes.

Thanks to Priscilla for being so patient and professional in insisting on perfection! She definitely passed with flying colours and it was obvious she topped the class. ;P

Definitely felt uncomfortable having 10 people staring at my face all at once but having someone fuss over my face while I sit high up on a director's chair is a simply D.I.V.I.N.E experience. Pampering!

Make Up Forever II















Since it was a test after all, the make-up teacher set a question for the 4 students in that class and it was written on a whiteboard!

Read:
"Charity show at Youth Park. 3pm. Young MC in her early 20s."
"8pm. Same MC will perform an item. (sing and dance to a pop rock tune)"















Tadah! The master with her answer to that test question. This is the intended "pop rock" look. :) If you think the make-up looks heavy here, I swear I looked like a wayang troupe member under the bright white studio lights. There were SO MANY layers of things that went onto my face -
1. Make-up base to neutralise the sallowness of my skin
2. Tons of concealor to cover up my blemishes
3. Foundation
4. Contouring colours for the cheeks and jawline. Not any part of the face can be left out!
5. Layers and layers of eyeshadow and an assortment of blushers of different colours for a blended look.
6. Fake eyelashes. So dramatic, so Priscilla.

During the evaluation, Priscilla's teacher asked if she took a picture of me before I had the make up done. Reason being she wanted to show the entire class the before and after pictures so she can convince them I'm a classic example of how "good make up can enlarge small eyes".

"When she came in, I couldn't even see her eyes! She had like no eyes. Her eyes are really, really small but Priscilla has done such a good job in making them look so much bigger! Now, her eyes are so much less puffy and she actually has sockets!"

$!%^&^%$!#!

How dare she discriminate small-eyed people like me! No eyes? Thank you very much.

Nonetheless, I still felt happy for Priscilla because me, being the foul-proof subject helped in impressing her teacher since I went from no eyes to big eyes! Hee.





















Since the make up academy is near Citilink, we went back to the stall for a while and that's our lao ban niang at work. Hahaha...

Make Up Forever

Fun day. :)

Out of sheer desperation, Priscilla (ie. my boss who's advancing her make-up skills) approached me to be her model for her make up test today! Desperation, I say, because which idiot in the right mind would wanna use the chinese version of Frankenstein's bride as a make-up model?

Priscilla was digging her own grave.

The studio...

They had about a gazillion palettes and all sorts of books and magazines on make-up!

Under construction. Priscilla originally wanted to do turquoise colours for my eyes but de (evil) teacher said it makes my eyes look puffy. Hmph. *puff puff puff*

Chidlish Sucker.

YES, Hip Hop and RnB are for kids still tied to their mothers' apron strings so let me be that kiddd.

Hmmmm... When was the last time I clubbed? Probably around the time when our national anthem was written. Oh wait, actually it could have been when the light bulb was invented! Oh no no, I think I vaguely remember meeting a certain Adam and Eve in da club, sipping some apple martinis...

Wahahahaha...

Wth. Come with me! :D You can have all my free drinks, especially the Vodkas. :S

Tagged!

By Fi. :) I do hope this tagging business isn't too meaningless for anyone. It's, after all, 1130 pm now and I'm breaking my vow of sleeping early as a remedy to my acned-skin because I don't feel the least sleepy.

I AM: ambiguous, inadequate. Shady character!

I WANT: to have my cake and eat it. Literally, sometimes. More wisdom lah, basically.

I WISH: fashion can love me back as much as I love it. To be free of jealousy, spite and the feeling of never being good enough.

I HATE: being accused of doing things I dhaven't done, lacking the means to a desired end, being called FAT (really, I HATE IT when it happens), my rebonded hair, PHONE THIEVES, Ah Liangs and Ah Bengs, rainy days, the scorching weather, dust, oh no this one can go on forever!

I MISS: RG, Xizzy being around in Singapore, coming out tops in class (or anything at all, for that matter).

I FEAR: being trapped in 1 single place, LONELINESS.

I HEAR: peace and insecurity. Hurhur, figure that out.

I WONDER: when enough is enough. You just aren't turning up, are you? Oh, and how and when I'm ever gonna get rich.

I REGRET: bringing my bro to the swimming pool that day which led to the subsequent loss of 1 of his front teeth. I do, really. His teeth aren't looking very pretty now and the dental procedures he'll have to go through is going to cost an estimated 3, 4 K? :S Heeeelp.

I AM NOT: as stern and no-nonsense as I look.

I SING: when I think no one's looking. WAHAH.

I CRY: at the most inappropriate times. :'(

I AM NOT ALWAYS: able to handle criticism, so give me some warning in advice if you intend to provide CONSTRUCTIVE ones. :)

I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: what I'm made to do in this life. The only thing I'm good at and never got groomed to excel in...

I WRITE: in awkward sentence structures. Know I yeah already!

I CONFUSE: pork with beef.

I NEED: to be less spiteful and channel that energy towards something more meaningul. SOME GOOD LUCK! Oh, plus loads of money and a hunky dory bf. Apply at the tagboard by the side please. :D

I SHOULD: save (more) and frown less (at the ATM screen that stares back at me at the end of the month).

I START: wriggling my toes whenever I get bored. Spending as soon as I get my paychecks (HORRENDOUS HABIT). Daydreaming the moment no one talks to me. My day off really grouchy in the mornings when someone else at home beats me to the bathroom.

I FINISH: (don't really know what to put for this) an apple a day, at least? :P

I LOVE: my then good skin, clothes, shoes, bags and accessories, the underdogs and most importantly, the people around me who keep me sane. :)

I REMEMBER: the scene at my maternal grandfather's wake, the red ribbons my mum used to tie around my hair, my fat past and random people's birthdays and numbers!

Okay, whoever feels like doing this, please post away! ;)

GSS + GP2 (Attempted)

Terrific Thursday!

There's nothing as exhilarating as cheap and chic buys under the company of not 1, but 2 very lovely ladies! :D

2 new tops and a pair of 'magic-school-bus-yellow' patent slippers richer. ;) I love whoever came up with patent as a material! Plastic or leather, I'm stoked.

We wanted to recreate Gorgeous Picture 1, so we took about 50 over shots I think. Unfortunately, the lighting at Wisma is apparently a far cry from Marina's because none of them were of comparable standard when measured against GP1!

Remember this <--?

Perfect lighting, angle and positioning! How can anyone create such a beautiful self-taken picture?!

Some good things only come once. :P

And I just realised I'm not gonna get paid as much as I thought I'd be. :'(
