Makeup for Liz Davenport Clothing, Australia

Wed, 12/09/2009 - 6:44PM by jeffiejeff 1 Comment - 236 Views

It all happened so unexpectedly when I received a call from the Sabah Tourism Board.

I had the greatest joy when I found out that I had been chosen to be the official MUA for Liz Davenport's shoot in Sabah!

It was a mix of emotions : One- being a sense of achievement for being the chosen one to showcase my talents. While the other - a sense of anxiety since I would be dealing with my first ever International client ( and a fashionably noted one at that! )

So before meeting with the famed designer, I had a little time to do some homework and see what I was getting myself into.

Here's what I found out on her site : http://www.lizdavenport.com.au

The colourful threads that weave the fabric of a fashionable 30 years.

Liz Davenport has been a leading Australian fashion designer, manufacturer and retailer for more than 35 years. One of only five Australian designers to receive the highest fashion accolade - a Grand Award from the Fashion Industries of Australia, Liz Davenport also has an Advance Australia Award for ‘contribution to lifestyle through fashion’ and is the current winner of the Sydney Business Award for ‘outstanding women’s wear’.

O-M-G!

Words could not have expressed the thoughts that ran through my mind. Immediately I knew I had to step up my game in order to live up to their standards. What ever it was, I had to be very flexible in my work and to absorb as much as I could regarding how they ( the International scene ) manage their fashion shoots!

After meeting up with Liz, she assured me to take everything in stride and that it would be an adventure.

There is always trial & error and I quote her words of wisdom : " Whatever mistakes done, it can always be removed and redone - after all it's only makeup!" With that being said, I managed to ease a little. However, my anxious nerves wouldn't allow me until I finally had the chance to put my skill to the test the next day.

After some makeup - absolutely gorgeous!

Soon after we headed to our shoot location for the day.

They wanted to capture the local culture in its splendour, so what better place than the Sabah State Museum?

 


Beauty Talk for PUSPANITA Sabah

Wed, 12/09/2009 - 12:47AM by jeffiejeff 0 Comments - 105 Views

Earlier this year in  May, I had the great opportunity to be invited by the PUSPANITA Sabah to give a talk on Beauty.

About over200 ladies attended the event and it was indeed a nerve-wrecking experience for me. But as time progressed, I began to get the hang of things and managed to talk my way through the 3 hour session.

As requested by the organizers, I did a Day Makeup which was a natural application for daily wear. I was also given a random participant from the crowd to be my model for the day.

Makeup for Breeze Magazine Cover

Wed, 11/04/2009 - 5:09PM by jeffiejeff 0 Comments - 236 Views

This is my second time around to feature my works on a local magazine cover!
Thank you once again Breeze Magazine for giving me the opportunity to exhibit my works.
Anyways, this time I had the finest opportunity to work with a fresh faced model -
you can never guess what race she is, but definitely has pan-asian qualities.
Makeup was done by me & hairdo was done by G Cuts gallery, Palm Square.
The model is Sasha Adams, a 16-year old lass who hails from Kota Kinabalu.
She is of Indian and New Zealand parentage, hence resulting in her absolutely stunning features which I absolutely LOVE!

The concept for the makeup this time was determined by Jonathan Bong, Editor-in-chief for Breeze Mag.

The inspiration was Dior's Spring/Summer 2009 campaign featuring very clean makeup, thick eyeliner and neutral lips and here are the closer results of the finishes makeup & hairdo

This time around I was inspired to take a different turn by injecting some high-fashion chic element into my shoot concept.

The idea was to make KK look more like a bustling and advanced metropolitan, so I came up with this concept :

The model this time was Kel Joeman, a young lass from KK who was recommended by a friend.

I absolutely LOVE her look and believe she can go further if she decides to pursue the modelling industry.

Here are her before & after shots :

And to interpret my ideas & dreams, I had the greatest opportunity to work with Ashley Daniel Koh - one of the best photographers that I have had the chance to work so far.The moment I saw his works on Facebook I immediately knew he would be able to deliver what I needed from the concept.

Inspiration for the makeup were clean lines, Modernism and Lady Gaga. That included the outfits which I specially made for this shoot!

For the 1st part of the shoot, strong liners were drawn to achieve that linear effect while lips muted out.

For more pictures of this shoot visit Ashley's blog HERE

For the 2nd part of the shoot, I channeled the Lady Gaga element by changing a few details of the makeup & hairdo.

All I can say is FANTASTIC !

For more pictures of Part 2 - visit Ashley's blog HERE

I'll let the pictures do the talking this time so tell me what you think?

Shangrila's Tanjung Aru Bridal Fair 2009

Thu, 10/22/2009 - 8:10PM by jeffiejeff 3 Comments - 268 Views

Breathtaking. That would be the word to describe everything in a nutshell.

Fresh flowers, pastel colored decor, the works, everything to make you say 'I DO'.

This time around I had the great chance to work with Michelle who happened to be the sister of Olivia (one of my bride/clients).

Enough talk, here was the outcome of the makeover :

Michelle was the emcee of the day and this gave me the opportunity to network my works to my potential prospects.

For her makeup, opted for a pinkish palette to compliment her dress. No false lashes were used as she had naturally lush lashes.

As for her hairdo, I decided to give her my own version of a beehive suitable for modern weddings.

From the looks on her face, she really loved it :

Picture for the Paparazzi, I absolutely LOVE :

Yes asides from Fashion, I actually also do Brides!

Sabah's top fashion Batik house - Olumis Fashion Batik organized a hi-tea fashion show at the Sutera Golf Club last somewhere in March.

Since this event was a day affair, I decided to give the girls a simple day look with plays on pastels & nude for that sweet effect.

Here are the model's makeovers :


Makeup for Hair Show Models

~20th December 2008 ~
One unexpected afternoon, I was given the opportunity to work with one of Malaysia's top hair dressers,
Alan Inspiration Salon which operates in Komplex Asia City.
They did a hair show during the Sabah's Supermodel & Manhunk competition held at 1 Borneo Grand Ballroom. 
All in all they had 12 models for 3 categories including haircut, high-hair & avant garde.
Here are the collection of pics taken from various photographers during the event.
:: Haircut Models ::
Basically they wanted a very fierce dramatic look as their stage personalities were predators!
Color selection was done by the artistic director of Alan Salon & I did my best to deliver the desired look. As for makeup items I do not recall as they had their own products which I HAD to use.
:: Avant Garde Hair Models ::
Finally after years in this line, I get the opportunity to express my artistic works.
As usual color & concept selection is from Alan Salon & I did my best to deliver the looks on 12 of their models.
Here are the pics of me & the models Maria & Grace Kho.

Thanks John & Gerry Kong for the professional pictures! Visit www.bananakk.blogspot.com for more details.

.:: March Blog Feature ::.

Wed, 10/21/2009 - 4:49PM by jeffiejeff 0 Comments - 27 Views
The days of March have arrived, bringing to you in another exclusive beauty editorial under the sun.

A touch of chiffon, a whiff of the summer breeze.
The third month has arrived to embrace you with its golden touch,
like chocolate against vibrant caramel dreams carrying you away to another world of :
~ **SUMMER GLAM : Escape to Paradise** ~

This will be one shoot that I will never forget! Our initial plans of shooting along the coast of Karamubunai beach was dampened when a smart-ass security drove us away! saying we had no permission to shoot on their land.
But the show must go on, so we had to move to another location!
Rasa-ria Resort was the closest alternative and unfortunately we lost a lot of time while losing the sunset - one of the essential elements for this shoot. Hence resulting in the low key images you see here. Looks like we had to make it work due to our busy schedules.
Going back to the model, this time I had the opportunity to work with Katy C. Kana who hails from Labuan.
The first time I saw her I automatically had this urge to approach her to do a photoshoot!
Personally I feel that she has a unique & exotic Brazillian look & basically this entire shoot was inspired by her beauty.
Here are her before & after the makeover :
The idea for her Summer Glam makeup was to appear as natural as possible while having a hint of glam to her overall look. So to start of I corrected her skin using concealer then used a lot of moisturizer to achieve that dewy effect - as if she wasn't wearing any foundation.
I then proceeded to enhance her lovely eyes by giving them a darker shade together with several coats of mascara.
I channeled in warm tones of gold, brown & bronze to give out that earth toned feel and played around with a lot of shimmery textures around the eyes & cheeks. Lips were kept to a minimal sheen.
To even make the concept alive I decided to make a sheer chiffon dress which you can see in this shoot!.
After finally hunting down the material in 1B, I was finally able to put my imagination into my first ever fashion piece. Yay!!
A swimsuit is worn underneath the dress which has a plunging neckline & a slit in front. I did this dress in a few hours without edging & Katy was kind enough to help me complete the finishing touches~
Here are more pics taken by Roy Ajin & Masdi!

Makeover for Mandy Nandu Interview

Wed, 10/21/2009 - 4:21PM by jeffiejeff 0 Comments - 1,720 Views
I remember the day I did this job,
I had another evening appointment for Mimmie's wedding reception at Atlantis.
Needless to say, I was in a budget timezone. LOL!
Anyways this would be my 2nd time to makeover Mandy who happens to be one of my favourite models!
Here are her before & after pics with my touch :
Anyway to begin the story, Cassandra Patrick was in charge of this editorial shoot for Breeze's March issue
and filled me up on the important details regarding the hair & makeup via email.
She said she wanted an elegant beauty look with golden highlight so I created Mandy's look below based on that.
For eyes I gave her a smoky bronze & gold eye finish using Duo Carat from KATE,
accentuated with heavy top lash & brown liner for the lower eyes.
The whole looks was kept luminous and sheer to give that golden glow.
Cheeks were blush with my latest buy from m.a.c - Mineralize skin degrade in Blonde which is of a beautiful pinkish highlighting texture.
Lips was then finished off with L'oreal's Glam Shine for that muted effect.
As for her hairdo, I was instructed to do an effortless but elegant look.
So I curled Mandy's locks with a curling thong and loosely gathered them into the back for that romantic feel.
Finally, a mist of hairspray to set the look.

Behind the scenes of the shoot

Here are the results of the shoot !
