We had a staycation at Fairmont during the weekend before his actual birthday.
Balloons for the birthday boy!
'Hi Ted!!
I baked my first rainbow cake for his birthday.
Not bad for a first attempt, I hope?
However, by the time we reached the hotel...THIS HAPPENED. LOL.
The theme for last year's birthday was a "Birthday Picnic".
My cutest birthday boy! :*)
All the picnic food prepared by me! Not too big a spread, I know....hahaha.
Photoshoot with the new friend, Ted!
Checking out the next day along with a tired Ted, LOL!!
It has been almost a year since all these happened, seems like a really long time ago! On his actual birthday, we had dinner at Absinthe, which serves awesome French cuisine. Then I also brought him up to Singapore Flyer as well. After that, we went to meet his friends at Alps.. that's pretty much it. Heh, I am hoping for it to be more awesome this year.. Shall blog about it when the time comes!
TGIF, everyone!!!! Have a good weekend :)
The workshop was held at Cheng San CC, which is just a short walk away from Ang Mo Kio MRT. I was quite surprised about how near it was, plus Cheng San CC is really pretty!! The CC was specially built with facilities to accommodate to 3GEN - 3 generations. The other make up workshop attendees and I settled down in a spacious air-conditioned room. The workshop hosts were so considerate to provide each of us a bottle of water to cool us down from the sweltering heat! But it's not like we need it, because the air-con room was comfortable indeed :)
Paper and pens were provided, so we can doodle and write down notes!
Here's the first thing I learned...how to draw your eyebrows. I am so glad they started from the basics so everyone can learn together better and progress along to the class.
The make up artists picked a lucky attendee to be the face model for the class! I thought that it was really nice for them to do that because it acts interaction to the class. At the same time, you can also see what their powerful make up skills can do to anyone in the room! That's Katrine demonstrating a look that brings you from day to night :)
Here's Hosanna, continuing the night part.
The teachers for the day went through each step slowly and demonstrated it clearly to make sure that everyone in the room was learning something.
They explained everything step by step, such patience towards us clueless make up attendees!!
Here's Katrine telling us about the latest Korean make up trend - dewy, glowy skin, minimalistic look. I wish I could achieve such a pretty look too!
The recommended goodies for the workshop! #goodthingsmust share :D The make up for this 3 hour workshop is proudly sponsored by K-Palette.
Really want to try this lash perm!!!
Within the 3 hours, 2 hours were dedicated to learning the skills such as:
1. Learn the basic makeup kit ( How to use and maximize their usage)
2. 15 minutes fresh looking simple makeup for work or school
3. Concealing blemishes, wrinkles, and pimples
4. Eyebrows
5. Eyeliner Style
6. Eyelashes application & techniques
7. Blusher application
8. Lipstick techniques
9. Makeup tips and techniques
10. Before and after makeup strategies for skin care
11. Makeup do and don't
12. Doing makeup with your fingers
The last hour was spent on hands on experience to try out the newly learnt skills on our own faces while the make up artists went around to assist everyone. Thank you for being so thoughtful and helpful towards us!
Look at them!! It's like you're almost having a dedicated makeover session by them!
And of course, I had to try too... I chose to do a Korean make up look!
So... Did I pass? :D For my make up, I am using a mixture of 3 Concept Eyes, Majolica Majorca, Bobbi Brown and Revlon :)♥
