Wondering why we are all dressed up in black? This is a standardized dress code to distinguish between the makeup artist and the models.

Our makeup tools- we are all ready!

Me & my lovely models
*Due to their young age, I did not shape their eyebrow and have left it in their natural shape
*It's really good to be young, they have such perfect complexion

 
After the event- the Beautiful Angels Group

I am feeling very happy and satisfied with my accomplishments today. :) This is a great experience for my first makeup event. Looking forward for the next makeup event! :)
 
After the fun and self-fulfilling evening, a quick good meal to reward ourselves for the hardwork for the evening. Yummy!!!!!

Treating myself to a quick good meal


Have a great weekend everyone!

Eyeliners

 
There are many types of eyeliners- pencil, liquid and gel/cream liners.
 
Eyeliners are usually drawn on the upper lashline to better define your eyes. It can also be drawn on the lower lashline and waterline.
 
The choice of eyeliner will have a different effect and colour intensity.

             * Can be used on the upper and lower lashline 
             * Can also be used on the waterline

             * Available in a variety of colours
 
Cons-   * Colour can be transferred to the crease of your eyes

          * Line thickness can be adjusted easily according to your own preference
