Did you know?
I cried while walking down the aisle? The moment the door of the church opened, I looked at Keith, then to my parents, then I saw my mom crying! LOL There you go! Poise --- GONE! lol But thank God for waterproof make-up, I know how important that is!!!
-----------------------------
A reader requested me to do a bridal look, I have to apologize as I didn't complete all the "Bridal" Look requirements, I've only used Mineral Foundation as I came back from work and putting on liquid foundation on my "already made up" face felt weird. But, because I love you my dear reader who requested this look, I've done this before the year ends. Congratulations in advance and I hope you have a great wedding next year!
Here's my finished eye look
Diagram time!
1. Cover Girl Eye Enhancers Barely Beige - swept all over the crease
2. Lancome Maquiriche Eyecolor Duo Matte Brown color - out V corner to deepen the crease.
For bridal look, try to use matte colors as glittery shadows will not show up good on photos.
Eyes closed
Yes, I've used a natural looking falsies!
I'm ready to walk down the aisle?
Nah..lol Been there done that!
New Years eve!!!

ReplyDeleteGracie, no wonder we're good friends, we're CRY BABIES on the loose!
ReplyDeleteBeeyoutiful7, thanks for liking my wedding shot, I was so worrying about my make-up all messed up, when I'm finally with hubby, the first thing I asked is: "Are my falsies still intact?" lol :)
NicNic, thanks girl! take care on your way back to Japan
Aika, I cheat, i want more money! I put BILLS! hahahahha :)
ReplyDeleteLiz, happy new year to you too :)
Jojoba, it's ok :) I'm sure you'll get the hang of it, I just knew the use of Green and Purple, i was staring at the red orange one wondering what it's for, I will mix and match and will report back which works and which doesn't :) I'm glad you love the post :)
Prettybeautiful, I know!!!!! The bride should look radiant and natural looking, now clownish :)
Nikkiz, awww thanks for saying that! I'm touched!!!
ReplyDeleteNilla Cookie, I am so happy I got the Bourjois e/s from Malaysian friend, if not because of her, I wouldn't be able to try the beauty of Bourjois :) Happy new Year Lilan :)
Purple snowflake, you are so right!!!! Eventhough I love putting make up on other people, people who have seen me would know that I'm into light colors or neutrals, hubby doesn't like it if I put too much! :) So does most of the guys! :)
Liz, :) Happy New Year to you too and I'll keep on smiling for sure!
ReplyDeleteYumeko, it meant "fortune" down here. I think it's Chinese or Filipino think? I'm not sure, but we do that! We also create noises...to drive the bad spirits away, sounds crazy, but it's FUN TO DO :)
Syen, hold on *hollers to hubby to read your message* lol he said HE KNEW he's a lucky man! Aawww..thanks girl!!!! My head is bigger now!
THSG, Happy new Year to you too!!! More posts from you and videos! :)
Jenn, I'm glad you like it, I can't believe I would cry! I'm not that type! LOL But gosh!! It was overwhelming :) You'll get there *winks* :)

I almost cried when my husband spoke of his wedding vows to me. It's not the conventional ones, so I had no idea what he was going to say. At that very moment, everyone in the church disappeared and it was just the two of us :)
ReplyDeleteHappy new year, sweetie :)
girl, when (if) I get hitched, can I 'import' you to KL to do my makeup ah? :)
ReplyDeleteoh heck, just come over to KL and teach me how to do it anyhow! i'll feed you in return!! *teeheehee*
Aw! How sweet that you cried! Tears of joy! :D I didn't cry when I got married. I cried when he proposed! hahah!
ReplyDeleteTine, awww that must be super sweet! I hope I can watch it over videos when we meet..someday :)

Happy New Year!
OMG you're such a beautiful bride...why did i get misty when i saw that, lol?
ReplyDeletePretty lady! Did you do your own makeup on your Big Day? You look gorgeous in your bridal photo as well as your demo.
ReplyDeleteHappy 2009, Lovely -- you really have been a huge delightful part of my first seven months in the blogosphere. I'm still learning how it all works, finding my cyberfeet, and you always brighten my day. Thanks so much!
Hugs and happiness! xoxo
sabby :) no, i wasn't the one who did my own make up, I don't want to stress myself on my wedding day :) thanks
ReplyDeleteGio, I'm glad you liked it :)
RenRen, coz you're close to your family and probably wedding bells is near for you? hehehhe
Janine :) No, I didn't do the bridal look on my wedding day, I just recreated my own version :) Thanks for bringing up a smile on my face too! I'm looking forward for more gorgeous smiles from you!
ur absolutely correct about matte eyeshadows working better...on my wedding day the makeup artist used matte eyeshadows except for under the brow bone...i had never had matte eyeshadows on me before and it was amazing...needless to say,i havent done my makeup the same ever since she graced my face....congrats! u were an absolutely beautiful bride. :)
ReplyDeleteaww you look so gorgeous at your wedding!
ReplyDeleteHappy new year, Nikki! And that really is an amazingly pretty and fresh wedding makeup look. =D
ReplyDeleteLily, thanks, oohh if only you knew how stressed I was lol :) But I'm glad I just enjoyed the moment :)
ReplyDeleteKahani, Happy new year!!!! I'm glad you liked my wedding make-up look! :)
