Had a lovely shoot with Chester and Rebecca last week.

My fave shot.

She's gorgeous!

Behind-the-scenes:

Photos taken with my 500D.

She has a really sweet girl-next-door look! :)

First look: Sweet and natural.

Chester working his magic. :)

Love the bright fuchsia lips on Rebecca. :D

A natural and neutral look.

Many thanks to Chester and Rebecca!

Totally enjoyed doing the shoot and I LOVE the photos. :)

Real Weddings: Nicole AD

2011-09-25T23:28:00.009+08:00

I had the pleasure of doing Nicole's hair and makeup for her wedding a couple of months ago.

It was one of the most beautiful and elegant weddings Ive been involved in. I shall let the photos do the talking. :)

Nicole AD. St Regis. 5 July 2011

I love her freckles and her natural radiant smile. And those teeth!!

She had wanted a very natural look, nothing overly dramatic or OTT. Just natural and elegant looking makeup. Which is what love doing for weddings as well.

You can never go wrong with natural and elegant, and it will never go out of style. ;)

As for her hair, she wanted her hair down with big soft romantic curls.

I love this candid shot of her.

The Gown.

And I cant resist posting this one from lightedpixel's FB page:

I JUST LOVE THIS PHOTO.

She looked absolutely beautiful and stunning.

There wasnt a dry eye in the hotel suite after she put on her wedding gown and veil. Mine included!

The link to Nicole and Vincent's photos on Facebook.

(See if you can spot me!)

Many thanks to Nicole for engaging me as her MUA for her big day, being so nice and sweet (I swear I have the nicest clients!), and for giving me permission to share her wedding day photos on my website.

Products I am loving now- June 2011

2011-06-29T00:58:00.008+08:00

I have recently gotten some new products which I think are fantastic and wanted to share them with you.

Amongst the new favorites are some old favorites. :)

Kanebo Freshel BB cream.

I have purchased many BB creams in the past few years since the BB cream craze started. I have never finished an entire tube of BB cream until I came upon this one. I have finished my previous tube and repurchased another tube because I like it so much.

Most Korean BB creams have a grey-ish tint and can look very pasty when applied to skin. The shade is often too pale. The texture is also often rather "gummy" or difficult to spread. This Japanese BB cream however, is very creamy and blendable.

The shade is yellow-based and is similar to M.A.C NC20. This comes in only one shade. It would fit most fair to medium fair Asian ladies. It is very much like a tinted moisturizer.

Many clients ask me, "Whats a BB cream? Is it a foundation?" BB creams are not foundation per se. The closest description would be a tinted moisturizer, because they provide coverage yet has various skincare properties.

I love that this Kanebo BB cream has SPF 32, which is more than suffiicent for daily use. I can skip sunscreen when I use this BB cream. After I apply my moisturizer, I apply this BB cream and set it either with my 2 way cake (for more coverage) or a sheer pressed powder (for a more natural look).

Its ideal to always set BB cream with a powder (be it pressed or loose), otherwise with sweat, sebum and the hot humid weather, any BB cream will just melt into a gooey mess.

This gives a very natural dewy finish, it just blends and disappears into the skin. And this makes you look like you have naturally good skin (which is the whole point) and not like you are wearing a heavy layer of foundation on your face. The cakey mask-like foundation look is passe and very unattractive. Skin should look like skin!

Heroine Make Smooth Cover Powder Clear

I was looking for a sheer pressed powder which I can use for touch ups and I came across this in Watsons. I tried the sample on my hand and I really liked the sheer silky finish. I use this to set my BB cream/ liquid foundation, and also for touch ups and I really like it. The powder is very fine and doesnt look cakey at all. I also like the subtle (rose?) scent.

Biore Cleansing Oil Cotton Facial Sheets

Old favorite. :)

I use this myself and I always carry spare packs in my makeup bag in case clients do not have any makeup remover to remove their makeup at the end of the day. I like this because its inexpensive, removes makeup very well, is very easy to use, and comes in small handy packs of 10 and also the larger pack one which can be refilled.

Sometimes at the end of a very long day and I am too tired/ lazy to do the cleansing oil + facial wash routine, I simply wipe off all my makeup with this and go to bed. 2 sheets are more than sufficient to remove full face makeup. And it doesnt leave behind any greasy oily residue. Loves!

I also happen to love the Biore cleansing oil (the original pink one). I am not sensitive to mineral oil, so this is an inexpensive and effective cleansing oil for me. Ive used Fancl MCO previously and I honestly dont feel any difference.

Estee Lauder Disappear Smoothing Creme concealer in 02-Light

One day while hanging around Raffles City waiting for some friends, I started to gravitate towards the makeup counters (I wonder why!), and I started playing with makeup at the Estee Lauder counter. I tried this concealer and loved how creamy it was and also the coverage was really good.

I initially planned on using this for work but I ended up stealing it to use for myself. Heh. I will buy another one for work!

This is best used for undereye area because its creamy and covers dark eye rings pretty well without being cakey. I also use this to cover the redness/ blotchiness around the nose and chin area.

I use a gentle tapping motion with my index finger to blend out the concealer and gently spread this outwards and downwards.

Some ask me if its better to use a makeup brush, sponge or fingers? Its really up to you but whatever you use, just make sure its clean.

Essential Rich Premier Hair Essence

Yes, I repurchased. The left one is the old packaging. I really like this leave in conditioner. Its inexpensive ($10?), has a lovely fresh fruity fragrance and leaves my hair feeling softer and less frizzy.

I really like Essential range of shampoos, conditioners and hair masks etc. I have oily scalp but dry hair, so I use the PINK shampoo and ORANGE conditioner/ hair mask/ hair treatment and leave in conditioner. Made in Japan, smells great and super affordable, cant get any better than that. :)

Daiso cotton bud swabs

I love these. Why? Because the cotton tips are so firm and dense. There are no loose stray fibres (unlike Watsons/ Guardian ones) and these are great for cleaning up makeup boo boos ie- mascara /eyeliner mishaps, cleaning up nail polish boo boos, lipstick out of line, its even great for blending out harsh pencil eyeliner for a softer natural look.

I also use this for applying false eyelashes on my clients, to press the lashbone against the lashline- its more hygenic and precise than fingers.

I always stock up whenever I pop into Daiso! :D

Shu Uemura UV Underbase Mousse

This has got to be my favorite makeup base, hands down.

Its so light and fluffy. Once applied to skin, it disppears without any trace. It has SPF 30. It comes in two shades- pink and beige. I have tried both and personally I dont notice any difference because its sooo sheer. They are both fantastic. It does help makeup apply better and last longer.

Think of this as your foundation's best friend. :)

This is also great for people who dont wear makeup but want to have SPF protection without something sticky/ greasy on their face.

$78. A tad pricey but worth every cent.

Ettusais Peeling Milk

Its pronounced "Eh Tu Say"!

I tried some on the back of my hand and was sold immediately. This is amazing stuff. If you find Cure Aqua (forgot the full name) too watery/ weird smell/ too expensive, try this. It has a nice milky creamy consistency. When you massage this over your skin, you can really feel the dead skin sloughing off and skin looks that much brighter and fresher after rinsing.

Frequent gentle exfoliation is very important to keep skin looking fresh and dewy, prevent breakouts and minimize blackheads/ clogged pores. :D

Nivea Body UV Whitening Serum SPF 22

You can probably tell by now that I am obsessed with sun protection and whitening products. I have clients who are obsessed with sun protection (one wears suncreen even when she's home all day, everyday without fail) and they have amazing near-flawless skin!

I love Nivea. Ive used so many of their products for over a decade. I use both the day and night whitening body lotions. And when I saw this, I had to get it. And because I am so hardcore, I use this OVER my day whitening body lotion.

Does it work? Well, I wear a watch everyday and I do not have a strip of fairer skin on my wrist. I am as pale as a ghost. :x I can safely say it does help prevent skin darkening.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of UV PROTECTION. Make sure it has both UVA and UVB protection. The former protects against rays that cause Aging and the latter protects against rays which cause Burning. I never step out of the house without applying my body lotion + sunscreens.

You'd thank me 10 years down the road!

My current skincare routine.

I LOVE Cellnique's Off With Those Heads (quirky name I know). I have to say I much prefer the original packaging when it first came out on the market.

I used to use this a few years ago when it first came out and I must have used about 3 or 4 bottles before I stopped. And I forgot how good this product is until recently there was a 20% off at Sasa due to GSS. I used this for 4 days and I could see and feel the results. Its as good as going for a good facial! Because skin just felt so smooth and clear, without any painful extraction. I swear my skin is softer and smoother.

Upon application, skin feels minty fresh and this clear gel absorbs almost instantly leaving skin feeling very smooth and soft. I apply at least 2 layers of this for optimal results.

They have a 14 day money back guarantee. If you dont see any results in 2 weeks, bring the remaining product back and you get your money back, no questions asked.

Go take advantage of the GSS promotion and get this. You can have better skin in just one week. Cheaper than a facial, without the pain. :D

...

I really like Hada Labo too. Its like a more affordable version of Fancl. No fragrance, no mineral oil, alcohol or colorant.

My AM routine: Wash, Cellnique, Clarins White Plus moisturizer, makeup.

My PM routine: Remove makeup, wash, Cellnique, Hada Labo Arbutin Whitening Milk. Sometimes I alternate with the Hada Labo Hyaluronic Acid Hydrating Lotion.

Two of my fave facial cleansing products.

Shiseido Aqua Label White Clear Foam and St Ives Apricot Scrub. Lets just say Id be really devastated if either product were discontinued.

The former is a foaming face wash with some granules in it. I love that my skin feels very clean and yet not taut/ dry after washing. I have combination skin- dehydrated on the surface but oily under.

As for the scrub, I have used countless tubes of this in the past decade. I panicked when I couldnt find any in Watsons last year, turns out they were revamping their packaging and was clearing all the old stock.

I cant live without this. I use this scrub maybe twice a week and it might be too abrasive for some but I like it. You can even use this on neck, decolletage, elbows and knees. If you find this too abrasive for the face, you can use this as a body scrub. I love how it leaves skin feeling so uber smooth!

And its inexpensive! This is a cult favorite.

Crabtree & Evelyn Gardeners Hand Therapy

I have the driest ugliest wrinkliest hands in the world. :(

No thanks to OCD, I am always washing my hands, with anti-bacterial soap! Thus I need the really heavy duty stuff. This is GOOD. A tad pricey but worth it.

Okay. Thats all for now.

Phew, long post. Anyway do let me know what you guys think. Id love to do more of such posts! :D

Note: All products featured are purchased myself, all reviews are 100% my humble honest opinions and nothing is sponsored, this is not a paid ad of any sort. (I wish.) Heh.

I cant live without this palette.

Whoever said smoky eyes has to be dark brown, grey or black? I love a bold purple eye. And its not a must to use many different shades.

Here I used ONE shade of irridescent purple e/s.

Dont you hate humidity. Oh well.

Was a great shoot nonetheless and I love the photos.

Hello March!

Hello!

Sorry for the hiatus. I have been too busy to update.

A new post is coming up. Soon, I promise. :)

Have a lovely weekend!

Vanessa + Kya

2010-11-18T01:49:00.016+08:00

Up first- Vanessa.

We started the makeup at my place first to get a head start, because the studio was booked from 7pm to 10pm. We had two models and I wanted to do at least two looks each.

Vanessa has really beautiful bone structure and facial features. My first Columbian model!

Before:

(Poor girl accidentally burnt her face with a hot flat iron a few days before the shoot. Ouch!)

First look- Clean, fresh and natural.

Classic beauty shot.

I gave her dark smoky eyes with a cool-toned pink lip. The smoky eyes and nude lip look is done to death. I wanted to try something new!

And I love big crazy hair. Who doesnt?

Up next Kya.

Very symmetrical face, great skin, beautiful full lips and a gorgeous smile!

Some more photos to share:

Nina Clare

2010-09-02T20:28:00.007+08:00

Did a shoot with this Australian model today. :)

We started off with a clean, simple and sleek look.

Then we moved on to another look. Nina has beautiful green eyes. I wanted to use my new pink eyeshadow palette. Bright pink really makes green eyes pop.

I wanted to do a Autumn/ Winter 2010 look- gold, wine, plum on the eyes and a dark wine on the lips.

I am very glad I managed to do all three looks within 3 hours. We booked the studio from 2pm to 5pm. By 5pm we had to pack up and LEAVE.

Phew.

Melissa Faith Yeo

2010-09-01T19:16:00.003+08:00

Did Melissa's hair and makeup for a shoot at Phantom just now.

She needed new photos for her comcard and she asked if I could do her makeup today and I said yes!

They wanted a "bombshell" look- very smoky dark eyes and nude lips, big wavy hair.

I think she looks gorgeous!!

This is my second time working with her. I think the first time was in like 2008. Hahaha. Time flies!!

Welcome home to Singapore babe! : )

Zoe Raymond Part II

2010-08-22T00:25:00.005+08:00

Zoe came to my place to get hair and makeup done for her D&D. :)

The theme was "Celebrity".

Before hair and makeup, very sweet and girly. She has a great complexion even without any makeup.

Smoky eyes + black feather/ net hair accessory + lots of chunky glitter. I told Zoe that she is definitely the most blinged out that night. Hahaha.

It was a lot of fun! :D

*Hair accessory is from Chomel.

Zoe Raymond for Freshkon

2010-08-17T14:53:00.008+08:00

It was a very enjoyable shoot and Zoe is like a happy child! :D

Its NOT possible to not love this girl. I think for local models, she and Huirong my faves. Both of them are made of rainbows, sunshine, sugar, spice and everything nice. <3

Zoe is very sweet and cute. Also very professional, arrived right on time (she's the first one there early somemore), and no diva attitude. (Believe me when I say I have met my fair share of unprofessional and rude models.)

Thank you Freshkon, Agnes, Zoe Raymond, and IMG Pixels.

Shanghai Night

2010-08-07T01:12:00.007+08:00

Mercedes Benz Shanghai Night, at Grand Shanghai, Grand Copthorne Waterfront.

Katherine.

June.

The look is chinois chic. Matte skin with very well defined eyes and brows, long fluttery lashes, thick black eyeliner, rosy cheeks, matte red lips and waved fringe.

Inspired by old Chinese posters:

The photos dont do these girls enough justice, because they look even more gorgeous in real life.

Both models look stunning in their cheongsams. And they're so tall and svelte!

Thanks Apple! ;)

Took a couple of shots of Nastya before the makeup was done.

Very beautiful and young girl, she's very friendly, very chirpy and great to work with. She's only 17 years old. My God I feel so old just standing next to her! Haha.

Photography and DI: Katherine Ahn
Model: Nastya

Thanks for the wonderful photos!! :)

P.S:

Oh yes one thing I need to clarify. I DONT provide accessories for brides. The accessories seen on my blog are either models' own or the stylists'. I believe its also easier for the bride to source for her own accessories, as different brides have different taste and its just not possible for me to cater to so many different brides. Im not a stylist afterall. :)

What I DO provide, are hair and makeup services. Thank you.

Another series by Katherine Ahn.

Makeup by Sarah Chaudhry.

Hair by me.

The look was 1920s. I curled her hair in sections with a curling iron, and pinned the curls with bobby pins immediately after that, to set the curls so they are more defined.

Hua Yang by Katherine Ahn

2010-06-07T20:09:00.007+08:00

I had the pleasure of working with an exceptional photographer and wonderful model last Friday. Three different light set ups and three different looks. I am so excited about the photos!!

And here are the shots.

I felt so bad for having to constantly spray water on the model in the cold studio!! But she was very professional and never complained.

Amazing shoot. Amazing photos.

Model Hua Yang from Diva.

Sharing some behind-the-scenes shots.

The model is extremely photogenic, I think its impossible to take a bad photo of her. She has amazing bone structure and looks great from every angle.

I was very tired during the shoot as I had no sleep the previous night, being really anxious about the shoot. I was all zombie while doing the makeup! Hahaha. But seeing the photos makes everything worth while!! :)

Thank you Katherine and Hua Yang! Amazing work.

Hows everyone? :)

Its already coming to the end of March. Its scary how fast time passes by!

Amanda came to my place to get her hair and makeup done for a bridal photo shoot, last Friday. Just got the photos from Chester.

I love her long and thick hair. Its extremely easy to work with. I curled all her hair for some texture, back combed the crown for volume and pinned them up in sections to create this look.

She has straight bangs, so I used a lot of hair spray to style it to the side. And I mean A LOT. Haha. I didnt want her bangs covering her pretty eyes.

Some shots I took of her at my home, after the hair and makeup was done.

Anna- Beauty Potraits

2009-11-17T20:46:00.009+08:00

1st look: Minimal, fresh and natural. Anna has naturally good skin, so I used only a bit of liquid foundation- Clinique Superfit and set it with a mineral veil loose powder.

2nd look:

Shimmery brown and taupe shades on her eyes, natural pink-nude blush, nude lips and black liquid eyeliner give her a more sophisticated look.

Photography by Chester Tan.

I love CHI Silk Infusion and Jose Eber curling iron. Together they create the most luscious and bouncy curls.

Some behind-the-scenes photos:

I had to cut Anna's fringe as it was too long and was covering her eyes..

Dont worry I am a makeup artist, and have no experience cutting hair whatsoever...but I am sure its going to be just fine.

You can see the fear in Anna's eyes. Haha.

Oh.My.God.

It turned out okay! Phew.

I love these photos. He used macro lens, the photos are so sharp that when I zoom in, I can see the tiny facial hairs and every pore on her skin. Its amazing.

This was supposed to be a creative makeup shoot, but I was so sick that day my mind was a complete blank.

I've just recovered from a very bad flu. Is it just me, or is everyone falling sick these days?

I did makeup for this lovely young lady a couple of months ago. And I really love how the photos turned out!

Marilyn has very good, almost flawless skin. I gave her a very light natural base, with soft neutral taupe and browns on her eyes enhanced with some faux eyelashes, a sweet mauve-pink blush to liven up her cheeks and a neutral pink lip color to complement her fair skin.

We had a lovely time shooting that afternoon as well.

Many thanks to Chon Chat for the beautiful photographs!! :))

Please help Charmaine

2009-06-03T05:12:00.001+08:00

http://ourfeistyprincess.blogspot.com/

The new blog is at http://ourfeistyprincess.com/

I am still reading this blog, and many photos and even videos are uploaded to update us about Char's condition. When I watch her videos, my heart really breaks.

She is only a 4 year old girl. Even after a few rounds of chemo, she is still very chirpy and cheerful. I do not think I have the courage to fight if I have cancer. I am not that brave.

The detractors should feel utterly horrid now for claiming this was a fraud case. Can falling hair be faked? Can photos and videos of Char in a hospital bed with needles poked into her be faked??

With her current treatment, even with so many rounds of strong chemo and surgery, her chances of survival is only 20%. If she undergoes a new treatment in New York, her chances of survival will be increased to 40%-50%. But the cost of the treatment?

USD$350,000.

And this is just the upfront deposit before treatment can commence. The costs of flying there, finding a place to live, living expenses, misc expenses and the actual cost of treatment will come up to a lot more.

I wish I could do more to help. If you have the ability to donate, please do so.

I believe any amount will be appreciated. If half of all Singaporeans donated $1 each, we'd have more than S$2 million, which should be more than enough for Charmaine's treatment. If you can spend a few hundred dollars on shopping every month, you can definitely afford to donate some money. Please try to help. A child's life is priceless.

If you're unable to contribute cash now, please at least help spread this news.

I had the pleasure of working with Lawrence Ng and Maggie Tan a few weeks back. And I just got the photos. :)

I love Maggie! She is very sweet and friendly. Down to earth and unpretentious. I like people like that. Definitely would love to work with her again! :)

Did makeup for Nat Dickson at Siloso beach about 2 weeks ago. It was hot as hell. But it was great working with Nat. She has such lovely eyes!

Fabiana. Very beautiful and great to work with.

Simple makeup can also be very beautiful.

Good base makeup and concealor to even out skin tone, a soft pink natural blush, neatly trimmed eyebrows, neutral shades of brown on her eyes, two coats of black mascara, a slick of sheer shimmer lip gloss.

I love it. :)
