Basic Makeup Workshop at Style & Beauty Experts

Attended a basic makeup workshop few weeks ago with 2 friends. It was an enjoyable evening with Juliana from Style & Beauty Experts, as well as spending some fun time with my friends. The workshop was held at Mary Kay Singapore's office at International Plaza. And of course, we have the chance to try out Mary Kay's product during the workshop.

Here's Juliana Aw, our teacher for the evening. Juliana is the Founder & certified Style Coach for Style & Beauty Experts. Click here to find out more about her.

Mary Kay products that we tried for skincare.

Make-up Remover

Mary Kay Botanical Effects 3-in-1 Cleanse

Mary Kay Botanical Effect Mask

Mary Kay Satin Lips - Lip Mask

Mary Kay Timewise Moisture Renewing Softener

Mary Kay Timewise Age Fighting Moisturizer

Mary Kay Sun Protector SPF 35/PA+++

 I love the Botanical Effect Mask and the Lip Mask the most.

We did the mask half face so that we could compare the results.

Here's our group photo.... Early Halloween celebration. :)

Here's the photo after I wash off the mask. Did you see the difference?

My cheek looks lifted and firmed. My laugh lines also become less obvious. Pores are also smaller. (Sorry you can't see my pores in the photo, but I swear that my pores are really smaller.)

After we are done with the skincare, it's time to start making up.

Here's the steps to a natural makeup.

1. Primer

Reduce the appearance of pores, and extends makeup wear

2. Highlight & Conceal

Conceal imperfections and highlight the shadowy areas of the face

3. Foundation

Using a large brush, apply outwards from the middle of the face to create a seamless finish.

4. Fill-in Brows

Make small strokes to indicate the start point, end point and the arch of the brow. Use short light strokes from the beginning of the prow to the arch. Use long feather like strokes to finish the ends.

5. Eyeshadow

Apply a lighter shade to the entire eyelids, blending from the lashline. Sweep on the center lid with a light brown shade. Apply light shimmer shade to the inner corner of the eyes and the brow bone.

6. Eyeliner

Create a small dotted line close to the lash line, then using short strokes to connect the dots.

7. Lips

Using a lip brush, start from the center of the lips and move outwards, filling the gaps.

8. Finishing Spray

Extend your makeup wear from day to night.

That's me trying to draw my eyeliner.

That's RJ, with an almost complete look.
