December Brides : Nina

Nina Makeover for Nikah Ceremony

The Palace Hotel, Kota Kinabalu.

Bridal Makeup at Dewan PPS, Sembulan

Here is my latest client which I had done recently for a wedding reception on

the 23rd of November 2008.

For the 1st time in my experience, had to wait for my client and make things worse I only had about an hour to get her ready!
When she arrived she had already makeup on from her 'nikah' ceremony done by her relative *cringe!!*.
After removing most of her makeup I then did my routine makeup procedure & gave her a more softer look. Here are the results :

For her foundation I used m.a.c's full coverage cream based concealer to cover up her pores as I immediately noticed her porous skin texture & used Pixy powder to set the desired skin tone.
I then did a socket eye technique to enlarge her naturally small eyes and kept her shading to a subtle tone. If you love her blush, it is from m.a.c's sheer tone blush in 'Margin'.

Here is a collage of her makeup together with a final shot of Seri Pengantin manager, Pn.Noraini, the bride & me!

Bridal Makeup at Petagas

~30.08.08~

Wedding of Ms.Idah in Sembulan.
Last year's August had been a really busy month for me but I didn't mind since 'puasa' would be coming up soon which means lesser demands for Malay weddings.
Anyway here is the bride with her before & after shots :

Makeup was nothing new except for the bold color she had for the dress, which meant I had to use a bolder choice of color to complement the whole look.
I just played around with a stronger eye as usual while balancing out her color palette.
Gloss was usd to highlight the strong color to her lips.

The happy bride & groom together

Bridal Makeup at Putatan

Done somewhere in the month of May of 2008, I remember running to & fro from my rehearsals to this wedding.

This is another one of my Seri Pengantin customer.
Here are her before & after pics :

Bridal Makeup for Engagement

To kick off my new blog, allow me to show you pics of my works from the past.
I am happy to be able to look back & see my progress.
Anyhow, this was a previous work for one of my mum's friend's daughter in 2008. It was a transformation makeup for her simple engagement ceremony held in Inanam.
My challenge was to refine her skin tone while keeping it as simple as possible.
Makeup I used were very basic like elianto & silky girl. And I wasn't into brushes yet!
