I asked one of the staff at MAC 1 Borneo and they said that they might not carry it in Kota Kinabalu so I'm kinda getting nervous already!I think the lipsticks are my absolute MUST HAVES.

 

Oh Marilyn, why are you so gorgeous?

 

Since we're on the topic of Marilyn,

here are some of my Top 3 personal favourite

celebrity transformations as Marilyn.

 No.2

Fans of hit TV series SMASH will know this one! Katherine McPhee as Marilyn on Broadway.

 No. 1

Scarlett Johansson is the perfect actor to play Marilyn. Super Gorgeous!

 

I better start saving now &

If any of you generous lovelies want to pass some my way,

you are most welcome.

 

Till next time lovelies,

XOXO!

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
