Jos + Rachel’s Cosmo Chic Collection

This series was done quite some time ago for the Cosmo Chic Collection from Jos + Rachel. In their own words:

Color and geometry are the two pillars in this collection and many of the dresses are combined with the contrasting texture and weight of fabric. Liberal use of tulle took on a feminine grace, which was the collection’s strongest note. Jos + Rachel’s signature delicate dresses – here in hand-pleated silk chiffon, taffeta, and satin, were raw-edged and has a touch of balletic loveliness. Add some splendidly sleek accessories that are worthy additions to this Cosmo Chic collection.

Words can hardly describe the extremely adorable, cute, and bubbly Joanne. Her fun-loving personality is so contagious that, being her makeup artist was such a joyful and happy task. And I am glad to do the job not once but twice; once for her pre-wedding and second time for her wedding actual day.

For her pre-wedding first look in white gown, Joanne chose very natural look and kept her hair bangs puffy. This created a lovely and romantic look to match the greenery in the morning. Later, for the second look, I gave her a heavier eyeshadow to match her bright yellow gown. Completed the hair with a side ponytail half updo and a fascinator.

Cozycot 100 Most Inspiring Real Women

Jovie — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 15:20:17 +0000

Today – 8th March 2011 – marks the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day. I am very happy to receive the news that I have been selected as one of the 100 Most Inspiring Real Women by Cozycot to commemorate the International Women’s Day 2011!

And here is a short write-up I did for CozyCot on how I inspire other women with my profession:

They say beauty is only skin deep. In my line of work, I have learned that beauty penetrates all the way into the heart and soul of women. Be it a bride on her wedding day, a student on her prom night or a mother in a studio for family photo session, every woman simply wants to look her best (even if she doesn’t admit it sometimes). With that extra fine stroke of eyeliner, a gentle dab of blush and a final touch of lipstick, I find great joy in enhancing and bringing out the elegance and beauty of their faces. At the end of the day, I am deeply touched to see how my job is transformed into smiles and glows of confidence in those faces. That every woman in this world rightly deserves to be beautiful, and can be so, is the greatest inspiration that I wish to share to everyone.

On her wedding day, I gave Hwee Ping, the lovely and easy-going bride, a high bun with crown to create a clean and neat look. During the evening dinner, she chose to put on a birdcage veil (that I made myself) as her hair accessory.

This was also the coolest weddings I’ve seen to date (video). On their wedding day, Wilfred, the groom and his brothers arrived as a group of pirates with the mission to rescue the bride from the sisters. And of course, the mission was a success and the pirate and his bride live happily ever after. Definitely one of its kind.

Last but not least, I wish to extend special thanks to the photographer of the day – GwoWei of Raydanz Photography - for providing these awesome pictures.

Due to other makeup assignments, I have not taken up any stage production assignments for a long time. However, I made a special exception recently when the Temasek Hallplay Committee from Temasek Hall, National University of Singapore contacted me. Having stayed in Temasek Hall for 2 years during my university days in NUS, I have fond memories of this place. Naturally, I am inclined to contribute something back to the hall. With that, I agreed to sponsor the hair and makeup for the show.

Special thanks to my friends, Jesslyn and Wan Xiu who assisted me with the hair and makeup during the show.

June hails from Hanoi, a place where I still have vivid great memories from my first trip to Vietnam. Just like all the beautiful ladies I encountered there, June has a radiant good look and feminine charm.

Held at the chic and contemporary 1 Twenty Six, June and his fiancé invited many close friends to attend this cozy affair. As it was outdoor lunch reception makeup was kept light and natural for a classy look. She requested for a curled hair to be different from her usual natural straight hair.

Some of her friends mentioned we look quite alike in this picture. ^^

Few months earlier, I also did the makeup for her pre wedding shoot. I did three looks for her altogether to suit the different themes and costumes. Below are some of the pictures taken from the photoshoot.

On her wedding day, Celia wanted an elegant and natural look with a soft and wavy bun up hair. As for dinner, she preferred a more glamorous makeup with stylish bun up hair.

Many thanks Celia for sending me the lovely pictures.

For Melissa’s wedding day makeup, I brightened up her face as she has natural good complexion. Also, I tried to make it look more natural by using less colors for the eyes and enhanced them with eyeliners.

For the evening dinner, because it’s mostly indoor with dimmer and warm lighting, I did a slightly heavier look with smokey eyes. Color of choice was aqua.

The wedding was held in Orchid Country Club. Thank you Melissa for the pictures and wish you a blissful marriage.

As Pam was in Australia at the time, we mainly exchanged emails and photos to help understand each other’s expectations better. To suit the tiara she brought, Pam chose a half updo hairstyle.

Wedding – Lu Li

Jovie — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 16:01:02 +0000

The night before their wedding was my first meeting with Sung Ming and his wife Lu Li at the 39th floor of Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Based in Shanghai, Sung Ming is a hearty man with generous laughter while Lu Li a gorgeous and amicable lady – both of whom I felt more like friends than clients in brief moments.

An avid photographer himself, Sung Ming is the only groom I have encountered so far who got himself busy with camera during the bridal makeup session, with his friend, David Phan. I am also very grateful and touched by the fact that Sung Ming contacted me after he has returned to Shanghai just days after the wedding to send me the photos. We have actually gone through a Skype session where he showed me his wedding pictures and let me to select the ones I would like to.

I shall not neglect the bride either. As Lu Li has chosen two very elegant cheongsams for morning and evening session, I gave her a neat classic bun for hair on both occasions, with variations of flower and crystal hair accessories. While the morning makeup tends to be more natural, the evening look with slight winged liner fuchsia red lips created a more stylish yet oriental look.

The following pictures are of course courtesy of Sung Ming and his friend David.

Last but not least, my heartfelt congratulations to Sung Ming and Lu Li!

Makeup Course August 2010

Jovie — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:26:17 +0000

I have been receiving enquiries of whether I conduct makeup course for individuals every now and then. In fact I have just completed a series of makeup workshop for the Far East Organization staff in June and July. It was a great experience speaking in front of so many people and imparting the knowledge. Kinda reminds me of the days when I was teaching in secondary school.

For this coming August, I plan to hold a makeup course that caters for the needs of most people. It would be suitable for those who wish to learn makeup for daily work, outing or functions.

The Course is divided into two sessions – basic and advance. Each session will take about 3 hours. Participants can choose either one or both the sessions.

Special rate and freebies will be given to those who sign up for both.

More details of the course can be found here.

Two months ago, I received a phone call from Evelyn from Australia for my makeup service on her wedding day in Singapore. Everything went smoothly and we met up for a trial session one week before the actual event. I was then struck by Evelyn’s joyful personality and we hit off well immediately.

For the day makeup, Evelyn had requested a look that is natural, healthy and alluring, complementing the environment of the ceremony which took place at Bollywood Veggies. Instead of a veil, Evelyn chose to don a fascinator with netting across the face.

For the evening reception, Evelyn picked a sexy, glamourous and womanly look.

Photography by Sami B, the prettiest photographer I have met! More photos can be seen in Sami’s blog.

Congratulations Adam and Evelyn!

Makeup and Photo Shooting Session – Jessica

Jovie — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 06:24:37 +0000

Jessica is Claudine’s sister, whom I have just posted earlier. She followed Claudine along during her trial makeup, and we have hit along with each other quite well after some chit chat. One thing led to another, and few weeks later, my husband and I did a makeover and photo shooting session for her.

We started around noon time and finished in the late evening with the two looks.

The first look was kinda Barbie-doll like with slightly over-the-top faux eyelashes. Jessica actually has long and straight hair. To do something different, I created a short, curly and messy hair for her, sharpening her oval face. A mini crown in the hair added some cuteness to the overall look.

The second look is suitable for evening events. I used green eyeshadow with long faux eyelashes. The eyeshadow color is not intended to be very strong, but to create a noble and elegant impression. Finished it off with a classic yet simple and neat hair bun.

Shall start with the makeover session I had with Shanzie, my ex-roommate whom I consider the most supportive friend since I started learning makeup. She has been my model on countless occasions for most of my lessons back then. And it helps a lot that she has an almost perfect facial feature.

Instead of the usual fashion makeup I’ve been doing, I decided to make her a bride this time. Photography by my husband as usual.

Attended the Mac Pro Master Class by Gregory Arlt, makeup maestro and director of makeup artistry for MAC last month. The topic was on HDTV makeup and red carpet makeup and Greg proved to be a very humorous and interesting speaker.

Greg prefers using MAC burgundy lips pencil with viva glam I and some luster gloss when he is doing red lips. And I have to agree that the result is really stunning and beautiful. According to Greg, gold color eyeshadow is the preference of red carpet actresses these days. Clean, soft and natural look will easily make the person look more glamorous.

It was indeed a very inspiring class to say the least, and i have gained much knowledge from Greg.

The second makeup leans towards a more natural look with light blue eyeshadow.The overall makeup is clean and light, as it brings out the youthful and sweetness of ladies. Together with the hairdo, this is a perfect makeup for daytime outing or dating.

Singapore River Festival 2008 – Legenda Singapura

Helped The Make Up Room to do makeup for dancers who performed during the Singapore River Festival 2008.

I love this this dancer by the name of Samantha the most. She’s a lovely girl, who was always the earliest and fastest to sit down and let me do her makeup. To me that is very professional of her.
