ALVIRA LAURENTINA'S WEDDING STORY

Ola Again!

I am back again with another new beauty post and this time it is featuring my makeover for my personal Friend / Air Asia Stewardess / Breeze Model Finalist - Alvira Laurentina!

It seemed like only yesterday when I last met her from the BMS competition and then she became a Flight Attendant with Air Asia and the next thing you know, now she's finally found someone to settle down with! How time really flies before your eyes without realizing it.

Anyway I am both happy and honored that she had asked me to do her wedding makeup and wedding gown as well for her reception! Thank you so much for believing in my talents as well has trusting me with my service. It really means a lot to me!

So without further ado, here are her before and after photos :

This was the final outcome of Alvira's makeover and I'm glad that I'd manage to meet all her requirements without compromising my style of work. Basically she wanted a dramatic transformation makeover but I suggested to not over do the makeup and instead give more focus on the eyes and brows with a softer touch on the complexion for a more radiant look.

 I began by first tackling her round eyebrows by giving it more of a defined arched shape to lift her down-turned eyes. Then I proceeded to create a baby doll eyeshadow technique to create the illusion of bigger eyes and for that added glam, I also added glitter to the lids to make her top lids more visible in photos. I then completed her eye makeup by applying my personally hand made lashes!

Next was her to tackle her blemished skin. Despite all her flaws, I absolutely LOVE her deep skintone, it just reminds me of that JLO complexion! So I blended two different shades of liquid foundation to suit her's medium deep skintone as well as to create that contoured effect. After achieving the desired coverage, I then proceeded to work on giving her that healthy bronzed glow without going overboard with the crazy illuminator which can sometimes translate into looking greasy in pictures!

I have to say that I am super satisfied because all of the photos had no flashback whatsoever! And trust me when I say that my NIKON D90 can be pretty ruthless when it comes to flash photography and as you can see in the photos I posted, her foundation just looks like skin!

 

I am super happy to have finally mastered the flawless and natural foundation routine for all skin tones thanks to endless trial and error. You may think that it's nothing but the last thing you want is for your bride to look grey or ashy!

To finish this look I used my Chanel Rogue Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Color in 44 La Diva as she preferred a matte finish to her lips and didn't want anything bold like Red or neutral like Peach as her dress was already nude-hued.

 

Now moving on to her dress!

Before her wedding, Alvira had already purchased some French Lace from Indonesia during one of her trips and wanted me to create a modern Malay Wedding Dress for her reception and this was the final masterpiece!

This practically took me a week to complete and again, I am happy with the finished product and how great it looks on her! I will probably do another separate post for this dress and I didn't have much time to take more photos of the details and more.

So stay tuned for my next post, there's so much in store for everyone! Take care and don't forget to tell me what you think?

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



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.

 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.

 Congratulations Patrick & Rena!
