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
