m a k e o v e r . the before and after

if you all had read on my previous post: ugly women or lazy ones, you wld know that i believe there's no lazy women in the world, only lazy ones. hurhur~ it's a naturally part of me as a makeup artiste who wants to bring out the beauty of every individual <3  here's some pretty before and after pics to share, and hope somehow will inspire everyone to doll up yourself everyday... regardless lady or gentlemen  :)

the world of beauty is not impossible, it's how much effort you would put in to make yourself look better. makeup is not necessary exaggeration but somehow be able to enhance your feature and making you look more gorgeous ^.^  

well, if you can begin to understand this phrase 'makeup does wonders'... you'll definitely agree with me that a crazy makeup artist like me will lurve to do extreme makeovers... like this :)  super modify the eyebrows, contouring the face, converting single-eyelid to a double-eye and enhance the size of eyes at least 10x!

hope you like this post! oh, btw due to overwhelming request, i'll try to conduct one or two makeover workshop in dec' so keep a lookout for the details -- i'll post the workshop details once im able to squeeze some dates from my packed-packed schedule!  <3

your makeover bestie,

c a n d y   t .

m a k e o v e r . the photographer

an extreme random act while waiting for client to turn up. lol

below is conny, a super spontaneous photographer from studio-hub :)

randomly, i decided to make her up in between our waiting time 

and... i rate her makeover 'challenging' hehe
well, b'cuz of her super duper inner double-eye lids!!

in fact i like her plain jane look as i rarely see her in makeup...

now, im gonna super transform her with 

lots of double-eye lid tapes, shape her brows and gyaru makeup!!

ta-dang~~

this is what i meant by transformation!

i tink im obsessed in extreme makeovers... *lol*

but dun you tink she look so kawaii and pretty after makeover?!

and i made her eyes bigger prettier! hehehe

below is a pic i grab from their dsl, taken by conny's hubby ^.^*

hmm... and so randomly, the rocker's makeover. haha

conny is so cute cuz' she'll just sit there and let me do the makeup 

without even asking what type of look im doing for her.

hurhur... very trusting, i like!

didn't realised she suits cool, rock type of makeover too. lol

cuz' in real life she's so bubbly and is forever jumping around!

here's patrick, conny's very sporting hubby, taking pics of her

while i snap snap snap with my iapple behind him. hahaha

they are one of those craziest and fun photographers i worked with
and they are people who filled my working hours with much joy and laughter!

last but not least, a big smile from me and zann 

~ my makeup buddy of the day ~

i think next time i shall try extreme makeover for myself. lol

what type of makeup do you think you would wanna see me in...?

lurves, candy t.

ugly women or lazy ones?

"there are no ugly women in the world, 
only lazy ones" ~ coco chanel

i couldn't agree more. it makes me think about how many times i left home without makeup on.
hmm... i must confess, there are indeed days when i wake up feeling totally lazy or in a super rush... i'll simply skip my daily multiple makeup works and only had my basic done.
basic = bb cream, press powder, blusher, eyeliner and eyebrow. 

ahem, definitely no phototaking on that very day. lol

well, makeup does a lot of justice to many woman, 

that's provided you do it the correct way. hurhur~ no joke!

so what about you? left home without any makeup today?

hope u get some light after seeing 3 good examples
of pretty my clients' before and after my makeover done.
like coco's saying, 
"there are no ugly women in the world, only lazy ones"

here's zoelyn, a pretty mummy of one baby gal.
 zoelyn is attending her very own brother's wedding 
and below is her before pic...

 i did an alteration to her eyes to make the double eyelids appear,
conceal her dark eye ring and  a makeup to enhance her droopy eyes.
below is zoelyn after the makeover, 
i think she looks like a japanese doll ;)

here's another sweetie, bell ~ a pretty air-stewardess without air
bell is attending her own dearest sister's wedding
i lurve the way bell's family interact with one another...
totally no generation gap at all! hurhur~

below is bell without makeup... 
and i forgotten to take her sis, eeling's before pic :(

for bell, i gave her feature highlights to conceal her eyebag, 
bridge her nose and enhance her eyes with smokey eye makeup :)
below is bell and sis after my makeover!
 

lastly, mrs siow, a lurvely grandma
 she's getting a superstar makeover as her son's is getting married!
you gonna agree, beauty is without boundary *^.^
below is mrs siow without makeup and u gotta agree, she looks good for her age.

for mrs siow, im giving her a perfect concealing for 
her under-eye pigmentation, even out skin tone
and a very natural makeup for her.
so this is her, 60+ and still so beautiful!

 i wonder will you decide to be a lazy women or pretty ones from now on?

with lurves,

candy t.
