Renawati Jamudi's Wedding Story featuring Mon Amour

Hello Lovlies! How have you been?

I am super excited about this post because not only is it about Rena's makeover

but it also features one of my dresses from my Mon Amour Collection!

 

Rena contacted me one day to do her wedding makeup and

the first time I saw her she instantly reminded me of Wendy Radin,

a friend whom I madeover for Unduk Ngadau DBKK in 2011.

 

So without further ado, here is Rena before her makeover:

 Rena admits to not usually putting on makeup on a daily basis

so I did my best to not overdo her makeup by giving her

an au naturel look but with emphasis on her sleepy eyes. 

Foundation was kept as close to her natural skintone which was tan

& it is important not to make her look fairer otherwise

it would appear 'ashy' in photos.

Lips were kept neutral to complement the minimal feel of her look.

Here is Rena after her transformation.

As this makeover was for her wedding reception in the evening,

I channeled the Beyonce Bronze/Golden Red-Carpet look for inspiration.

 

Hair was wavy and styled into a modern updo as she specifically

requested to have a diffrent hairstyle apart from her pre-wedding photos.

I then attached a diamond encrusted brooch as an accessory from my collection

to finish her hairstyle. Simply Chic and Exclusive!

Available for purchase or rental. Kindly email makeupbyjeff@gmail.com for more details.

 

Here are the newly weds as they made their grand entrance together into the ballroom.

She wore a creamy/peach gown from her bridal vendor for her first look.

 

 Next it was time to amp up the drama!

During her first visit to my home boutique, Rena instantly fell in love with

my Red Ruffled Dress from my Mon Amour Collection on display &

finally confirmed it a few days before her wedding!

 I have to say it fits her perfectly

and gives her that absolute glamour needed for her reception!

Red Ruffled Dress from my Mon Amour Collection available for rent.
Contact me on my Facebook page or email makeupbyjeff@gmail.com for more details! 

 As for her makeup,

I intensified her eyeshadow to make her eyes pop even more and

changed her nude lip color to Scarlet Red to go with her already fabulous dress!

Hair was let down and swept to one side for that romantic feel.

Diamond Jewelry Set also from my Mon Amour Collection available for rent.
Contact me on my Facebook page or email makeupbyjeff@gmail.com for more details!

 Congratulations Patrick & Rena!

 

Hope you enjoy this post!

The Marilyn Golingai Wedding Story - One Bride, Four Looks!

Hello lovelies! Have you missed me?

I'm finally back from my short timeout at home
because it's been such a hectic week of crash dance training & sewing for a client's wedding.
( which I will tell you more later *smile* )

But for now, let me share with you my makeover for
Marilyn who I've had the opportunity of making-over 4 times!
Hence the self-descriptive blog post title.

Here is a picture of Marilyn before her morning session.

 

For her first look, I gave her a minimal yet simple makeover to suit her Solemnization Ceremony in Sacred Heart Cathedral.

Eyebrows were given a fuller shape while her eyes were kept 

minimal with a kiss of brown eyeshadows + emphasis on lashes.

She also requested for red lips for a less pale look. 

 

As for her hair, she requested for a romantic look so I created

this sideswept loose chignon for that effortless feel.

 

 I continued to add white orchids to her hair as she wanted to replicate my previous hairdo design for a beach wedding bride.

 A few hours later, she had her reception at her Kg.Pogunon residence and I did a simple retouch for her second look.
Since her foundation hadn't changed, I proceeded to add a little more black eyeshadow to her eyes and retouched her lipstick and blush for a different effect.

 

 As it was going to be a humid day, we decided to re-arrange 
her previous hairdo for better comfort!
 Her side-swept bangs were then pulled back into a bump
and 3 champagne colored roses were added for adornment. 

The next day, the grooms' reception was held at Shangrila's
Tanjung Aru Resort and for her third look, I decided to give
her a more dramatic look to suit the evening occasion starting
with more dramatic eyes.
As she was to be dressed in the Kadazan Penampang traditional outfit, I gave her a heavier version of the Unduk Ngadau eyes
using more darker shades of bronze & taupe with accentuated
black eyeliner.
For that modern touch, silver shimmer was added to the inner
corner of the eyes.
As she wasn't a fan of nude lipsticks I gave her a traditional chilli red color for her lips, customary to Kadazan Penampang culture.

 For her hair, I simply did full curls for that sexy volume as she only had shoulder-length hair.
 Again hair was side swept and held in place with a decorative pin for that vintage inspired feel.
A red rose was then added for that extra touch that definitely
screams "Marilyn Monroe"!

 

 For her final makeover, she wanted a simple smokey eye for her home ceremony so I did this white, grey & turquoise combo to complement her theme.
 No lashes we added and hair was kept minimal.
For her lips I used Covergirl's Outlast All-Day Lip Color in Dusty Rose for resilient, brilliant coverage, color, and shine gives you up to 16 hours of color that stays true, in just 2 easy, breezy steps.

 

Hope you guys like her look.

Till next time,

XOXO

Zaidah's Nikah Makeover

Looks like I wasn't going to have a long and

relaxing Merdeka weekend after all...Duty Calls!

Well at least I do enjoy what I do so that alone

makes life so much easier.

 

Today I did Zaidah's Nikah Ceremony makeover who actually

hails from Sandakan but works at KLIA 2( I didn't even know that there was a KLIA 2 before this so I felt slightly un-smart. )

But now I know! *smug*

 

Anyhow this is what Zaidah looked like before the makeover.

Basically she wanted her eyes to appear bigger and

for her skin to appear smooth and even.

Her wedding theme was Purple & Pink so we took that

as inspiration for her look.

 

And here are the results...

So to give her that wide eye look I did a Black + Purple

eyeshadow from Urban Decay with dramatic lashes.

I gave her face more shape by applying e.l.f studio's Contouring Blush & Bronzing Powder and finished her cheeks with a touch of Diorskin Ultra Shimmering All Over Face Powder.

 

I also fixed her eyebrows to give her face a more polished look.

Lipstick was 'Lucky' from Dior for that soft and

romantic finish.

For her hair I did a simple up-do with a side parted front for a softer look.

 

Hope you guys like her look.

 

Till next time, gotta wake up at 4:30am for a few makeover jobs later today. It's so gonna be a busy day for me!

 

XOXO

Wedding of Daniela & Aloysius

~ 29th January 2009 ~

This is the time my camera was being sent to KL for repair so I have NO personal shots of the makeover process. * sigh*
I do however have some footages of the Wedding compliments of Wendell from ShakaBorneo.com, who happens to be their official photographer ( recommended by me! ). As well as from some people who attended their wedding, posted online - Thank God for Facebook!

The Morning Mass : Sweet and Simple
Makeup was kept to its minimal, enhancing the bride's natural beauty.
Morning mass held at Sacred Heart Cathedral with refreshments after the ceremony.

The Evening Reception : Old School Glam Revisited
Day turns into night as excitements steps in.
Her look was about old Hollywood glamour, unleashing her inner elegant diva.
An evening reception to remember at Magellan Ballroom.

This is one of my all -time favourite looks on a bride yet takes some aquired taste to appreciate.

Hair was kept sleek upfront and set into a high beehive to lengthen & balance her overall look. Simple yet elegant, reminding me of the infamous Imelda Marcos and her shoe collection.

The couple marching in...

And they Spoke

They Danced
They Smiled
They Laughed

They lived happily ever after!

My Classmate's Wedding

4th of October 2008

**Wedding of Zodee & Felicia**

Time moves on so quickly and it has been about 10 years since I left school.
This would have been my 2nd time to makeup my classmates (with Mary Ng being the first) who needed my service!
Anyways, it seemed like yesterday when Zodee was sitting behind my desk in class and now it was his turn to get settle down with the beautiful Felicia.
Anyways, here are the before & after pics of the bride :

This would be my typical bridal makeup. Nothing overly done. Just sweet and simple. Lesser on the eyeshadow but more emphasis on fuller lashes to waken up the eye and off course a very fresh base to last the whole morning mass till lunch!
Hair was kept into a very clean bun as she was wearing a heavier veil.
Really loved her wedding dress and that contrasting red roses

~

The next look is indeed a reminicence of that unduk ngadau feel.

Her makeup was maintained but i couldn't resist changing her lip colour to compliment her overall look.
Here she is with my classmate Zodee, who on that was smiled from ear to ear!
I'm glad that he found his bliss beside Felicia.

Their reception continued into the night and it was my final task to complete the last of her 3 looks which I have pre-envisioned. Naturally her previous hair had to be redone again to compliment her evening look. So for about 15 minutes setting her already heavily sprayed hair curl it into a nice high crown, here are the results :

As for her makeup I did a smoky eye very suitable for the evening look as her day look was more towards natural & healthy earth tones. You gotta match everything ya know!
Looking back at her before pic you'd never believe how pretty she really is and that is the power of makeup! I guess that I finally unleashed her inner-star!

Bridal Makeup at Kimanis Papar

Here's another one of my makeup adventures out of town in the middle last year's June in a far away place called Kimanis.

Due to the travel distance, I was already behind my time and to make matters worse, my boss left out 1 big, HUGE, gigantic detail : the bride was to wear a Javanese outfit with her hair to be set accordingly to their traditional heritage.
( think : now what am I going to do when I was informed that she was going to be in Tudung? ) God help me, I did not bring enough supply of hair pins let alone a single hair extention! arghh~ but with true determination i managed to pull it off. So here are her before & after :

The look was truly a traditional Javanese-styled makeup with traditionally drawn hairline. Had I been informed earlier, I would have brought along ink or face paint but I just had to do with black eyeshadow, a damp brush and lots of water! Thank God for my m.a.c eyeshadow in Carbon.Base was from m.a.c hypereal liquid foundation ( NC30 ) and bronzers from The Body Shop. Here is another half body shot of her:

27th of July - 11am
This time I really made sure I was early. Besides, I've already been there so I didn't really have any trouble finding it.
Anyway, today she was to wear a green toned dress and so decided to turn things around by giving her another look. Makeup was kept to a minimal to reveal translucent skin and an overall glow. My idea was to keep it looking natural but defined especially around the eyes. Lips were kept light and finished with clear gloss.

As for her hairdo, her crowning glory was kept high to bring out the tiara as well as to elongate her face.
Overall she loved it and told me that she has been practising her facials expression to have a nice shot. There's only so much that a stylist or makeup artist can do and it is advisable that you take time to look in the mirror & find out what angle and expression brings out your best!
