Work of the day

Its a not rushing job today... gladly even i have relax heart to work, i still able to finish my job on time haha! u know sometimes when u work on pressure you will be able to work faster alot, and when you are relax, you tend to be slower than what your usual speed....Cos the people are so relax there unlike other weddings, so many anxious people around rushing each other to be quick... lol If you went to alot of wedding dinner, you probaly knows tat all are anxious of things not done, cannot rehearsal on time blah blah blah, but really, today was the very first time that i dun sense that kind of anxiousness in the makeup room haha maybe its early and they are very sure that everything has done....

I have this lady, the mother of the bride, whom dont do makeup often, and keep telling me, light makeup.... haha shes so cute! she kept saying, i dont wan too heavy... and when i finished her makeup, she say OMG! so not me! lolxxx usually u dun really meet alot of good people around, usually, when you done when their makeup they jus go.... but shes polite and cute in the way tat she keep stressing "light makeup"... shes so afraid of heavy blusher too,kept telling me lighten up lolxx isnt shes cute!!

Explaination of why wedding dinner makeups are usually thicker than day time look.... Anyone knows the answer? ................. Its bcos the light of the ballroom flash out the colour.... if you would have notice on dinner time.



Another lady, bride's friend. I would like to call her, Ms anything.... I asked her about her colours, what colours she likes or she think looks good on her or what colours she cannot accept, what hairstyle she wants, she keep telling me anything haha. well, as a makeup artist, we need to communicate with clients that some colours like black, a common rejected colours, cos they are scare that it looks like ghost or panda, but if you know, black is a very good standout colour on makeup, enhance the eyes, if u know smokey eyes, you will know the beauty of black.... i ended up didnt add much black, cos her looks look sweet, i actually wanted to do something like a fairy, pinkish like princess look though it matches her looks but i wanna something more mysterious.... sweet and sexy at the same time, take a look!


guess how old is she?

she has very thick brow which im super envy cos even she put on foundation she can go without drawing brows... i asked if its ok i shave alittle to reshape but still dont need to draw her brows, shes so happy and smile and say ok! she keep laughing loudly at her brows cos a small hole was unfilled by her own brows, and the unbalance eyelid which is same like my eyes and when i told her about my eye lid is same one smaller and same side on the left we both laugh so loud lolxx... i asked her about her age, i was like wow! so envy haha i told her most enjoyable time in life is the golden 20s, im not going to say her age cos i think its her privacy, let u guess hahaa!! She is very bubbly and cheerful whenever she hear something funny she will laugh loud, will showing being her own true self, without being like minding too much how pple say about her. definately like her character to be true to everyone. And when i tell her tat i wanna take a picture of her, shes was very happy and say take photo take photo... her cute reaction is unforgetable. All the best to her.



Working Partner Makeup class

I was asked by my makeup partner Stella for help in her makeup class on one sat... i was there to help them while stella is teaching and some students may not be able to follow as they are new in makeup, basically my help there is to explain if they dunno, and show them how to apply makeups, here is all the cute students with me...


All the student has lots of fun, fun loving and cheerful people! so happy to know all of you!!

Tried once, Feeling like putting a light weight of oil onto skin, not very oily though, you know some oils like, olive oil are very sticky and oily, people seen my videos knows i dislike stickyness and oilyness on skin no matter day or night, this feel quite acceptable to me, but 30ml for $90 is abit pricey but if its good, why not? Consult your local Kiehl's counter and check if your skin type is ok for that. It smells like lavender, quite strong though, if you dislike lavender then this is not for you.

shu uemura Whitefficient Brightening Gentle Cleansing Oil
shu uemura happens to be a pioneer in cleansing oils. The famed makeup artist worked with them in Hollywood when heavy stage makeup needed to be taken off multiple times per day without harming actors' skin. Cleansing oil cuts through waterproof makeup, including mascara, and gently cleans your pores while retaining essential moisture your skin needs to stay young looking and healthy.
This whitefficient cleansing oil has all of the aforementioned benefits but includes added ingredients that remove the accumulation of melanin cells from the surface of your skin, leaving it unbelievably bright and evenly toned.
· Washes away dullness
· Moisturizes
· Removes makeup, impurities and melanin cells
· Contains mito-white complex and Vitamin C
· Comes in 2 sizes: 150ml for $58 and 450ml for $155

Well well, cleansing oil for definately the best cleanser in the whole world, it takes off everything include waterproof products but for what i received, i think its for dry to combination skin includes normal skin as well, for oily skin, i always do not recommend it to oily skin, oil + oily= OILYNESS, double up the oil, When i have oily skin at times like in summer time, I use not often cos i will have bumps and feel itchy on my skin... Shu Uemura has another oil cleanser for oily skin, I believe. Its call the;

shu uemura Fresh Pore Clarifying Gentle Cleansing Oil

This all-in-one cleanser precludes the need for stocking a retinue of facial cleansing products in your bathroom drawer. Not only does it gently cleanses your skin and removes even the most stubborn waterproof make-up, but its lightweight, smooth texture will have you wondering if it's an oil at all. It is.
Cleansing oil give you the ability to erase impurities from your skin without stripping essential moisture that keeps it fresh, firm and young. This fresh pore clarifying cleansing oil reduces the appearance of pore size in as little as four weeks and can be used with wet or dry hands.
· Ideal for oily and acne-prone skin
· Contains Sakura Complex that reduces excess sebum
· Removes waterproof makeup
· Leaves skin feeling soft and clean
· Comes in 2 sizes: 150ml for $55 and 450ml for $138


Oh yes! Im totally right on this product..... I swear i didnt read it before i type it on top saying its not suitable for oily skin which what i had recieved. Oily skin, try the fresh pore clarifying gentle cleansing oil, dont forget its in pink bottle. 

Always I could say, if you are interested, always start for sample size before you try anything on your face, not because the brand is not good, but u might be sensitive from the ingredient. If you know you are sensitive to any, read ingredient before you get the samples. Well, like i always said: What might work for me, might not work for you, what work for you might not work for me."

Let me know if you are liking any products in here. Good Luck!

The memorial of the King Of Pop

I was browsing thru my Facebook, and I saw my likes of the King Of Pop, Michael Jackson. I remb when I'm young, I already know who he is and his song, Billie Jean (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWULhhL2F18&feature=youtube_gdata_player) and smooth criminal (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ceU4ANZKdOM&feature=youtube_gdata_player).
He had alot of songs which are very nice and popular, other than these two songs there are also, Dangerous (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=280sGC16jmA&feature=youtube_gdata_player), one of my fav and made me dance was The way you make me feel; if I'm right, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYnLl8IQ34A&feature=youtube_gdata_player), when I saw this video his performance with Britney, I was wow! So sweet, and this song made me feel like dancing too!


Black or White, is a song created to be anti racist, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLV1QHQwowI&feature=youtube_gdata_player),Iheard about it why Michael Jackson becomes white, didnt know whether it's true, you know sometimes there's always false rumors all the Internet, jus believe what u think it's right. Over many years ago, the news said he's a rapist of a child and even carried a baby out the window, I really don't believe such a person whom love kids and always doing charity will do such things, maybe there's some misunderstanding. I would say, he look better when hes black and without too much surgeries, first few surgeries are ok the rest after tat wasnt looking as cute as before, i still likes the first few jobs done. Charity videos on YouTube, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iwimKsLJTA&feature=youtube_gdata_player) and more of his videos u may want to search if u r interested to see type Michael Jackson charity on YouTube. A song for u to brighten ur heart, this song really touches me. what's more can I give, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7baeBy7E-w&feature=youtube_gdata_player), he did alot of charity, visiting them and donating. Look at this video, everytime I see it I will simply smile (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raw96oUPGLk&feature=youtube_gdata_player), see how he letting go his pride and the named king of pop and playing with the younger ones and letting them making fun of him, this wins my respect for him. There's more other videos like his playing with his children as well, too much to say and view his videos.

When I first google him, the first thing shows up was his amazing moonwalking, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVNIJOP2nME&feature=youtube_gdata_player). I was really surprised with a dance like this and I remembered I use a pair of socks and tried, haha I believe there's alot of young children tried that too.

I wanted to write a page of him today bcos I wanted to share my thoughts of him and a memory of him. I didn't wanna forget such person in my life. I really love to meet someone like him, who is famous, rich, kind and never see u and I differently even he's a king of pop. I could said, talented pple r lesser now, and to find someone like him, it's totally out of question. With his talent, it's a unforgettable incredible legend in the world, I pay my respect here to him and always remb him in my heart.


People, so many celebrities died bcos of drugs, if you r one of them who took drugs, stop it. Avoiding is always not the best way, problems will not solve even if you take it. The best way to seek for help is to talk to ur family or someone whom is closer to you or even get the professionals. Before u do anything silly, think about your mother, having u in the tummy is no joke. I'm a mother of one, I know how pregnancy is, how dangerous it is when we r giving birth. Life is precious, pregnancy of ten months is not easy job to do. Some people may want to have a baby but can't, some babies wanna grow up with their parents but can't, cos they was abort. Treasure the one who is there for you, think of people who loves you. Good luck and God Bless.

Dear Mr Michael Jackson,
If you are reading this, I wanna to say I'm a mini fan of yours, Thank You for bringing such nice musics and dances to the media. Your determinations and passion for music have proven your talents, such a waste of your depart, your skill and your kindness. You will be remembered by your love ones, your fans. You are always The King Of Pop. We love you and may you watch us over from heaven.


With love, Candy
