Pricilla Verus' Wedding Story featuring Mon Amour Collection

I'm Back!
Hope everyone's doing fine at the moment.
Anyway, here's another wedding makeover that I did recently for a friend's sister.
 
Her name's Priscilla Verus who hails from Penampang 
and here is her before photo and after photos.
For her Solemnization Ceremony, I broke away from the norm
and gave her smokey bronze and gold eyeshadow to define her eyes
and balance out the uneveness of her eyelids.
Her lips and cheeks were kept minimal to not overwhelm her entire look.
 
Here's a picture of Pricilla complete with sideswept updo.
 In the afternoon,
I retouched her makeup to complement her red gown at her Reception in KDCA.
I changed her lipcolor to red, enhanced her cheeks with a little bronze
and rearranged her hair into romantic sidecurls.

The next day,
I did another makeover for Pricilla during her 'moving out' ceremony
 which is a custom of the Kadazan people for the new bride to move in to her new home.
So for her third look, I did blue eyeshadow with
a touch of pink for her blush & lipstick look to match her second outfit.
Eyebrows were lightned to match her haircolor which was loosely curled.
Her first outfit was a modernized Kazadan & Lotud
inspired evening gown from my Mon Amour Collection 
which I made for the Unduk Ngadau DBKK Gala Night in 2011.

 Congratulations Pricilla & Husband!

Hope you like this post.

Till next time,

XOXO

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
