FOTD Make Up

FOTD Wasabi Green

Mikuni Sashimi

Sushi and wasabi go together like honey and bees. So it was inevitable that I thought of food when I was told I was attending Japanese restaurant Mikuni’s relaunch. The next thing I said to myself was, “All right. Maybe I’ll wear a wasabi green colour eyeshadow just in case they dont get the hint.” I was darn hungry and I was going to make sure I was fed at that launch. So, green it was for my face of the day.

Green seems to be the colour of season (for me at least) considering that I had already worn a deeper shade of it during my secondary school’s 10 year reunion. Instead of pairing it with the gold/yellow like I normally do, I opted for brown because wasabi’s roots are brown (arent they?). It doesnt seem like a very pretty combination when you think about it. Maybe I should have stuck with the Japanese makeup style just because I was going to have me some sashimi, but the final look turned out pretty well!

And when I went to Drink Culture for a friend’s birthday afterwards, I decided to stick to the theme of green and have me a kiwi cocktail. Well, okay, I didnt do it deliberately. I genuinely like kiwi. But it really matches my face of the day make up no? Haha.

Face of the Day - Smells Like Teen Spirit

10 years ago, walking out those gates, I was a bespectacled teenager with absolutely no inkling of makeup whatsoever. 10 years later, I walk back into the very same hall I collected my ‘O’ Level results, a different person. So different not just in terms of make up, but with a different swagga all together. I was remembered by my teachers as a “quiet, reserved girl”.

Face of the Day Makeup

Because my school colours are green and yellow, in honour of the 10th year reunion, I was all decked out in the colours of my alma mater. A sparkling combination, I must say.

Compared to my previous beach make up look, the beach make up I had for the shoot on Saturday was a little different. The look was lighter, more natural with more defined eyes. Hair was curled and tousled instead of naturally wind-swept.

Glominerals Face of the Day Makeup

The main difference, however, between the previous beach makeup look and this one was the fact that mineral make up was used and no primers were harmed called upon in this shoot. Glominerals mineral make up did a fantastic job of providing flawless yet natural coverage the entire duration of the shoot and way beyond the hours of the shoot. I was floored by how the foundation never feels cakey despite long wear and your skin retains its flawlessness at the end of a long day. I think I have just found the next foundation on my to-buy list.

If you have been following my tweets, you’ll probably already know that I had a blast in Hong Kong. The first time I went there last August, my travel companion and I were absolute greenhorns in navigating the crowded streets of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong

Going back a second time, I was more familiar with the ins and outs of the bustling city but wasnt completely at home in the shopping districts. Thank goodness then, for my new travel mates who knew where the best bargains where. I had a chance on these two different trips to take a look at the fashion and style of Hong Kong city and I can see why those who’ve already been to Hong Kong go crazy shopping there.

Taking a pointer or two from my travel beauty tips to keep myself fresh despite an early flight, I managed to pull together a look on the first night in Hong Kong using what little I brought in my travel make up kit coupled with accessories from the various shopping markets.

Spring

The arrival of Chinese New Year signals the arrival of Spring time in the Chinese Lunar calendar. The best thing about Chinese New Year is getting all dressed up in new clothes and going visiting. Instead of rocking a red look this year, I went with a soft romantic face of the day complete with flowers to welcome Spring.

With the intense heat these days, the perfect place to spend and pretend it’s summer is the beach. You’ve got your favourite swimwear, beach towel and sunblock. But just as you’re about to go out, you wonder, OH NO, DO I NEED BEACH MAKEUP too?

I fully subscribe to the idea of wearing makeup when you’re going to the beach. You really, don’t know who’s going to be taking your pictures or you might even spot a beach hunk playing beach volleyball with his hot friends. Haha. But seriously, most foundations come with sunblock, so that’s the ONE reason why you should wear makeup especially if you don’t religiously apply sunblock daily. The key when wearing makeup on the beach is to ensure everything is waterproof.

So when I went to Sentosa recently for a shoot, everything had to be “insured”. Insured with primers, that is.

Here’s the breakdown for the beach look I did:

Face
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
M.A.C Studio Fix foundation
M.A.C Studio Sculpt Concealer
M.A.C Pinch-o-peach blush
M.A.C Dsquared Sculpt and Shape powder in Accentuate Sculpt

Eyes
NARS Eyeshadow in Pandora
M.A.C Paint Pot in Rubenesque
M.A.C Royal Assets in Smokey Eyes
Everyday Minerals eyeshadow in Hoodie
Majolica Majorca eyeshadow palette in GR750
Maybelline Define-a-lash mascara (review here)
Majolica Majorca Lash Gorgeous Wing mascara

Lips
Smashbox Oplump Lip plumper

Would you believe me if I told you that this face was the one I did for the photo in the banner above? :D
