MY LAST POST?

OCTOBER WAS MY LAST POST??

OMG It has been quite a while and blogging really needs commitment!

I truly apologize for being quiet here as opposed to 
my Facebook pages that I often update on a daily basis.

I guess things might have been pretty crazy

towards the end of 2012 and all that END OF THE WORLD hype.

BUT NOT TO WORRY - I AM BACK PEOPLE!

Back with more positive outlook & wonderful things to share with everyone.

Starting off with this video tutorial just for YOU.

I noticed that I haven't really posted any vids on my blog 
so here's to a good start for 2013!

This is a Miss Universe 2013 inspired make-up look 
of the winning Miss USA - Olivia Culpo.

I hope you love it guys. 
Don't forget to lemme know what you think at the comment below.

Till next time,

XOXO

It's Official. My classmate is getting engaged!

I'm so excited!

It's really a great feeling when someone you've known from way back when

gets married.It kind of gives me flashbacks to to the good ol' school days.

Never in a million years did I imagine that I would be doing her makeup

on her engagement/wedding day!

 

Anyways, here is the lovely Siti Asmah before & after.

Basically she wanted a simple makeover for her intimate engagement ceremony

at home so I did a very minimal day look for her without going overboard.

She basically doesn't use so much makeup so I understand where she is coming from

- In other words, nothing too va-va-voom or unrecognisable.

 

Here are more photos of her after makeup.

To achieve this look, I did neutral tones for her eyes and cheeks.

The emphasis was more on contouring her face to give her a

 slimmer look not forgetting to give her smoother skin.

A touch of pink was added to her lips to complement her lavender outfit.

Simple Updo since she will be wearing a veil.

 

Congratulations Girl!

Looking forward to doing your wedding in December!

 

Till next time,

 

XOXO



Pricilla Verus' Wedding Story featuring Mon Amour Collection

I'm Back!

Hope everyone's doing fine at the moment.

Anyway, here's another wedding makeover that I did recently for a friend's sister.

 

Her name's Priscilla Verus who hails from Penampang 

and here is her before photo and after photos.

For her Solemnization Ceremony, I broke away from the norm

and gave her smokey bronze and gold eyeshadow to define her eyes

and balance out the uneveness of her eyelids.

Her lips and cheeks were kept minimal to not overwhelm her entire look.

 

Here's a picture of Pricilla complete with sideswept updo.

 In the afternoon,

I retouched her makeup to complement her red gown at her Reception in KDCA.

I changed her lipcolor to red, enhanced her cheeks with a little bronze

and rearranged her hair into romantic sidecurls.

The next day,
I did another makeover for Pricilla during her 'moving out' ceremony
 which is a custom of the Kadazan people for the new bride to move in to her new home.
So for her third look, I did blue eyeshadow with
a touch of pink for her blush & lipstick look to match her second outfit.
Eyebrows were lightned to match her haircolor which was loosely curled.

Her first outfit was a modernized Kazadan & Lotud

inspired evening gown from my Mon Amour Collection 

which I made for the Unduk Ngadau DBKK Gala Night in 2011.

 Congratulations Pricilla & Husband!

Hope you like this post.
Till next time,

XOXO

Renawati Jamudi's Wedding Story featuring Mon Amour

Hello Lovlies! How have you been?

I am super excited about this post because not only is it about Rena's makeover

but it also features one of my dresses from my Mon Amour Collection!

 

Rena contacted me one day to do her wedding makeup and

the first time I saw her she instantly reminded me of Wendy Radin,

a friend whom I madeover for Unduk Ngadau DBKK in 2011.

 

So without further ado, here is Rena before her makeover:

 Rena admits to not usually putting on makeup on a daily basis

so I did my best to not overdo her makeup by giving her

an au naturel look but with emphasis on her sleepy eyes. 

Foundation was kept as close to her natural skintone which was tan

& it is important not to make her look fairer otherwise

it would appear 'ashy' in photos.

Lips were kept neutral to complement the minimal feel of her look.

Here is Rena after her transformation.

As this makeover was for her wedding reception in the evening,

I channeled the Beyonce Bronze/Golden Red-Carpet look for inspiration.

 

Hair was wavy and styled into a modern updo as she specifically

requested to have a diffrent hairstyle apart from her pre-wedding photos.

I then attached a diamond encrusted brooch as an accessory from my collection

to finish her hairstyle. Simply Chic and Exclusive!

Available for purchase or rental. Kindly email makeupbyjeff@gmail.com for more details.

 

Here are the newly weds as they made their grand entrance together into the ballroom.

She wore a creamy/peach gown from her bridal vendor for her first look.

 

 Next it was time to amp up the drama!

During her first visit to my home boutique, Rena instantly fell in love with

my Red Ruffled Dress from my Mon Amour Collection on display &

finally confirmed it a few days before her wedding!

 I have to say it fits her perfectly

and gives her that absolute glamour needed for her reception!

Red Ruffled Dress from my Mon Amour Collection available for rent.
Contact me on my Facebook page or email makeupbyjeff@gmail.com for more details! 

 As for her makeup,

I intensified her eyeshadow to make her eyes pop even more and

changed her nude lip color to Scarlet Red to go with her already fabulous dress!

Hair was let down and swept to one side for that romantic feel.

Diamond Jewelry Set also from my Mon Amour Collection available for rent.

 Congratulations Patrick & Rena!

 

Hope you enjoy this post!

The Marilyn Golingai Wedding Story - One Bride, Four Looks!

Hello lovelies! Have you missed me?

I'm finally back from my short timeout at home
because it's been such a hectic week of crash dance training & sewing for a client's wedding.
( which I will tell you more later *smile* )

But for now, let me share with you my makeover for
Marilyn who I've had the opportunity of making-over 4 times!
Hence the self-descriptive blog post title.

Here is a picture of Marilyn before her morning session.

 

For her first look, I gave her a minimal yet simple makeover to suit her Solemnization Ceremony in Sacred Heart Cathedral.

Eyebrows were given a fuller shape while her eyes were kept 

minimal with a kiss of brown eyeshadows + emphasis on lashes.

She also requested for red lips for a less pale look. 

 

As for her hair, she requested for a romantic look so I created

this sideswept loose chignon for that effortless feel.

 

 I continued to add white orchids to her hair as she wanted to replicate my previous hairdo design for a beach wedding bride.

 A few hours later, she had her reception at her Kg.Pogunon residence and I did a simple retouch for her second look.
Since her foundation hadn't changed, I proceeded to add a little more black eyeshadow to her eyes and retouched her lipstick and blush for a different effect.

 

 As it was going to be a humid day, we decided to re-arrange 
her previous hairdo for better comfort!
 Her side-swept bangs were then pulled back into a bump
and 3 champagne colored roses were added for adornment. 

The next day, the grooms' reception was held at Shangrila's
Tanjung Aru Resort and for her third look, I decided to give
her a more dramatic look to suit the evening occasion starting
with more dramatic eyes.
As she was to be dressed in the Kadazan Penampang traditional outfit, I gave her a heavier version of the Unduk Ngadau eyes
using more darker shades of bronze & taupe with accentuated
black eyeliner.
For that modern touch, silver shimmer was added to the inner
corner of the eyes.
As she wasn't a fan of nude lipsticks I gave her a traditional chilli red color for her lips, customary to Kadazan Penampang culture.

 For her hair, I simply did full curls for that sexy volume as she only had shoulder-length hair.
 Again hair was side swept and held in place with a decorative pin for that vintage inspired feel.
A red rose was then added for that extra touch that definitely
screams "Marilyn Monroe"!

 

 For her final makeover, she wanted a simple smokey eye for her home ceremony so I did this white, grey & turquoise combo to complement her theme.
 No lashes we added and hair was kept minimal.
For her lips I used Covergirl's Outlast All-Day Lip Color in Dusty Rose for resilient, brilliant coverage, color, and shine gives you up to 16 hours of color that stays true, in just 2 easy, breezy steps.

 

Hope you guys like her look.

Till next time,

XOXO

Zaidah's Nikah Makeover

Looks like I wasn't going to have a long and

relaxing Merdeka weekend after all...Duty Calls!

Well at least I do enjoy what I do so that alone

makes life so much easier.

 

Today I did Zaidah's Nikah Ceremony makeover who actually

hails from Sandakan but works at KLIA 2( I didn't even know that there was a KLIA 2 before this so I felt slightly un-smart. )

But now I know! *smug*

 

Anyhow this is what Zaidah looked like before the makeover.

Basically she wanted her eyes to appear bigger and

for her skin to appear smooth and even.

Her wedding theme was Purple & Pink so we took that

as inspiration for her look.

 

And here are the results...

So to give her that wide eye look I did a Black + Purple

eyeshadow from Urban Decay with dramatic lashes.

I gave her face more shape by applying e.l.f studio's Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder and finished her cheeks with a touch of Diorskin Ultra Shimmering All Over Face Powder.

 

I also fixed her eyebrows to give her face a more polished look.

Lipstick was 'Lucky' from Dior for that soft and

romantic finish.

For her hair I did a simple up-do with a side parted front for a softer look.

 

Hope you guys like her look.

 

Till next time, gotta wake up at 4:30am for a few makeover jobs later today. It's so gonna be a busy day for me!

 

XOXO
