Nora's Solemnization - 26032011

Hi all.
This weekend, I had two sessions, one for a solemnization ceremony, & one for a reception for the same bride.
She is actually my returning customer.
I did the makeup for her engagement awhile ago, and she hired me again to do her wedding this time. :)
I am so thankful, at least I know one person who actually like my work.
She booked me a few months ago for all three ceremonies, her solemnization, and both her & his receptions.

Initially, I wanted to share two of our sessions in one post, but I accidentally forgot to bring my camera on Sunday, and only manage to share pictures of the first session this time.
Hopefully she will email me some photos of the second makeup soon.

One thing I love working with this girl is that she is very specific in what she wanted.
She sent me photos of the hairstyles she wanted way back when, and she prepared some reference photos for the makeup that she want for all three events.
I don't have to worry whether my smoky eyes is too dark for her or my foundation is too thick for her.
I just pick up some inspiration from the collage of makeup references, and go with it.

Anyway, for her solemnization ceremony, she wanted a simple fresh faced makeup with light brown on the eyes and glowing skin.
For the hair, she wanted a half up-do, with romantic curls going down the back.
I sort of did Taylor Swift's curls on her and pinned half of it up messily.

Here are a before & after shot.

Basic Personal Class: 29012011

Hello makeup lovers.
This post is long over due.
I hosted a makeup class in January for these three beautiful and wonderful girls, Kak Azian, Kak Hajah and also Suhana.
It was just a basic makeup class, for girls who are just starting out with makeup, sort of a zero knowledge basic class.
My girls were fast learners, and I was so happy that I had a chance to know them.

Hopefully, they will join my next class for Advance Bridal, once they have fully practiced what I've shared with them in our previous session.

So here are a few shots during our little session, enjoy.

Outdoor Shoot: Ti'qa - 28.12.10

I did an outdoor photoshoot today.
Thanks to Ti'qa for giving me this opportunity.
*Gotta <3 her~
She's actually entering a contest held by Tudung Fareeda.
So good luck to her, hope she gets it.
She is very talented as a model, very bold and brave.
Highly respects her for that.
Well, enough about her, going on about the shoot.
Promised her to start at 10am, but as usual, I will be 15 minutes late.
I went there with my sister Elyna.
But I was glad; I wasn't the only one late.
The photographer was late as well.
It is quite a funny story; apparently Ti'qa did not have the contact number of the photographer that was supposed to shoot her.
She did contact the photog last night through FB and arranged our little shoot, but missed his contact number due to the bad internet connection she had last night.
So, she was busy calling everybody she knows for his contact number, and finally managed to get one of her friends that had his number.
Actually, at the same time, the photog was also calling everybody to get to her.
Thank god, finally.
So, once Felix, our photog arrived, we started our makeup session at about 12pm.
And we started our shoot at about 2pm.
I did not wait until the end of the shoot, because my sis Elyna needed to get back home.
Well, that's the short version of the story.
So here are a few shots by my sis Elyna.
More photos will be updated once the photog submits.

Tiny Model: Hana Qistina at The Regency - 26.12.10

This post is not really about makeup.
I just felt like sharing a few pictures of my cousin, Hana.
I just love how my little cousin, Hana is so into makeup.
She comes from a family with three boys, and she is the youngest girl and yet she is such a girly girl in all possible ways.
All things pink, frilly dresses, teddy bears and Barbie dolls and of course makeup, btw, she's only 3 years old!
She celebrated her 3rd birthday last Sunday, in P.D. with her whole family and mine too.
That evening, she went to our room and I ended up giving her a 'makeover' as her birthday treat!
She was so excited! She even chose her own color of blusher, the brightest most shocking pink I owned in my palette, that shows how much she loves pink.
After that we had a little photo session by our little balcony.
Wow, she knows how to pose, just like a professional, she took instructions pretty well, considering that she always do things in her cute little way.
Here are some shots.
Enjoy!

Dinner Makeup at Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa - 15.12.10

Hi all.
I haven't really written anything in my past few posts other that the basic descriptions.
So, I'm going to write a few things from my heart tonight.
Last week on Wednesday, I had a job from none other than my loyal customer, my Mak Ude at the location as above.
She was attending a Shell Company annual dinner that night.
I went there with my two sisters, one as my navigator, and the other one as my PA. Lol~

As we arrive at 4.15 pm, my friend Moon is already waiting there for me.
Moon was going to do the makeup for 2 of my aunt's friends in a different room, and I was going to attack my aunt's and her sister's faces in another room. Haha *evil laugh*.
Our clients were in a conference until 5.00 pm, so we waited there.
While we waited we talked and asked a few questions, and talked some more, shared experiences and of course gossiped.
Maybe I'll share some of things we talked about one day.

Once our clients are done with their conference, we went straight to the lift lobby.
That's where we had a bit of a complication.
My aunt introduced Moon to one of her friends that Moon was supposed to do makeup for, but the lady said she did not make any reservation for Moon and that she has already booked her own makeup person.
Hmm.. That's weird because my aunt was very sure she booked for Moon through their other friend.
What ever the deal was my aunt is very sure that that lady was trying to sabotage her.
Kind of childish for a mature woman of her age if that was the case.
My aunt was not going to let that happen, she called around, asking if any of her friends would like to have a makeup artist at that time.
Thank god someone wanted one, so Moon still get to do 2 makeup sessions even though the first lady cancelled. Amin~

So, with all the things going on, my aunt getting ready, taking a bath, calling around and what not, we started our makeup session at about 5.45 pm.
And I started doing her sister's makeup at about 6.50 pm. About 30 minutes to go!!
And both of them were supposed to be ready by 7.15 pm, 7.30 is the cutting time.
But Alhamdulillah, we manage the get ready in time (I think), exactly 7.30 pm they walked out the door.
They left us in the room, packing my stuffs.
So, with all the havoc going on, I only managed to snap one picture of my aunt, (not so great quality , due to the camera setting and bad lighting) and none of her sister .*Sad*

So here it is the one shot, hopefully it is still appreciate-able.

Thank you all for visiting and reading my post. Hope to have more adventures (or misadventures) to share with you guys soon.
Take care, talk to you soon.
