all about the face

Actually pinned these make-up ideas on Pinterest in case I can somehow jampi convince my mak andam to rebel and make me up a little differently for our wedding dinner!

But I know it's difficult for bridal mak andams to deviate too far off from their signature looks so even if mine membantah dan memberontak tak tentu pasal macam a group of ridiculously gila feminists (NSFW), I know that I can let it slide because I can ask Dyana from Lipgloss By Dyana to try any of these for my outdoor photoshoot instead!


 
 








As you can see, akak sungguh feberet sama all these winged winged eyeliner look. Hehe.

Wahaiiiii Dyana, my photoshoot MUA and fellow BTB, I bilang you dulu yang you better do the wing wing thing for my mata ok! Kalau tak I will tuang Red Bull all over my mata untuk kasi dia wings instead hahahahaha ok lah ok lah in all seriousness, I do have faith that Dyana will be able to recreate or get inspired from the above samples - doing a trial one month before the photoshoot so we should be able to gauge the kind of look I'll be able to pull off and whether the above kind of look will suit my skin and face in the first place. Me liking a certain kind of look does not mean that that look will actually work out nicely for me ye para hadirin dan hadirat. But I know one thing's for sure ah - kalau takde extreme winged eyeliner pun, musttttt pakaikan thick eyeliner ah.

As it is, I cannot even make it out the door seh kalau tak pakai a little bit of eyeliner in my everyday life - No lipstick? No problem. No powder? No issue. No blusher? No sweat. But no freaking eyeliner????? Takpe lah jah, sampai bila bila pun aku tak keluar rumah, jah. Aku lebih rela mati kelaparan dalam rumah ni, jah. Hahahahaha. 

Haiz. Habis ah gini. Macam mana nak survive bila I start wearing no make-up two months before my wedding ni?!!!

Ah, and yes. I have decided to practise that whole "jangan pakai make-up, kalau tak nanti takde seri pengantin time kahwin" thingamajig, except... oook lah I'll put on a liiiiittle bit of eyeliner and a liiiiittle bit of lip colour so the uncle security at my office don't think I'm some hantu cina + I'm cutting it down from the usual six month practice (amongst my girlfriends) to a more manageable two months. Nak lepaskan Raya punya pasal ma haha + this timeline works out perfect for me because our outdoor photoshoot is scheduled on the last week of August, which is more or less when Hari Raya is about to bungkus - so that means lepas photoshoot, no more make-up sampai hari sanding, y'all.

Tak tau lah effect dia sama ke tak but at least I cuba try ok (Dah cuba, try pulak tu.) Must really tabik my girlfriends who went au naturel (face-wise) six full months before their weddings!!! Nak kasi korang pingat penghormatan, please.

Oh, but actually kan, my biggest worry now is my kening tau!!! I've mentioned before that my original kening looks like misai Anil Kapoor and two months of not threading my eyebrows MIGHT! MEAN! My kening will have to go back to their auta mamak roots. Aiyoyo thambi! D:

Tapi takpelah, nak tangkap seri pengantin punya pasal kan. Misai pun misai lah.

(Ya Tuhanku, kau lindungilah mereka mereka yang akan nampak aku without full face make-up di bulan September kelak. Amin.)

megaxpress showcase

Another wedding exhibition this weekend!



Event: Wedding & Shopping Galleria and Indonesia Fiesta
Organizer: Mega Xpress
Date: 4 October 2012 to 7 October 2012
Time: 10am – 10pm
Venue: Singapore Expo Hall 5A

As usual, I personally find wedding exhibitions yang ada bercampur aduk with other stuff (in this case, makan makan stuff) can be quite meh in terms of vendor selection - as compared to the annual mega wedding exhibition by Mega Xpress that will involve participation from more vendors in the industry all under one roof (this year's was held in January).

But wedding exhibitions are always good for talking to different vendors to get a feel of the costs involved and what's on offer for those yang baru start nak jinak jinak dengan bendealah kahwing kahwing ni. Never know you might even like and want to engage the vendors yang you sit down and talk with at the exhibitions! If kebetulan the vendors that you want memang will be participating in the exhibition, even better. Sure ada discounts or promo packages. Ingat beras dan gula kat NTUC je ke ade discounts?! Wedding vendors pun pandai kasi discounts, nyah.

List of participating vendors:
  • Amani Weddings (Friends have recommended them before!)
  • An Analog Affair (Highly recommended!) 
  • Berkat Inc.
  • Blushing Bouquet
  • Bridal Concept
  • Decorama Wedding Services (Friends have recommended them before!)
  • Fairmont Singapore  
  • Fansuri Wedding & Decor 
  • Forever Blooms

[List complied from Seri Pengantin, Mega Xpress and vendors' Facebook announcements.]

Ok dah, back to work, sebab Octobers and Novembers selalu very busy for me in the office, which explains the lack of updates sejak dua menjak ni... padahal I have sooooo many cerita ceritun to stuff this blog with. Heh heh. Will reply emails and blog some more over the weekend!
