Stage make-up has to b bold, sharp,n eye catching..either on photoshoot or stage..I've shared some ideas wif u.. Hope u r ok..
1. To bring up the eyeshadow colour, try some eye primer so d colour is more distinct, esp. for Gold, Orange & Red. The Gold & Orange seems to have combined..and d red is not obvious.. i supposed it's 2 b at the edge of d eye to define the corner, n some at the lower eye lid.
2. Try some dramatic eyelash (top last / bottom last) to match your eye colour..to bring out the art on the eyes.. it will give a good effect to d overall.
3. Gold, Orange & Red is suitable for a sunny look. You may use orange blusher in replace of pink n some bronzer to highlight the feature, esp. underneath d cheek apply n jawline n some on d 2 sides of the nose, 2 defined d nose n make it higher n slender..
Not bad 4 a first try...
:o)
Gambateh... n u will be painting well soon... :oP
I'm just not cut out for the pre-production pictures.
Sam- Post a cool look, don smile.. :o) Tat would make u look more stylo
Wei Kin : Thanks for your valuable input. I do agree on the eye colour & cheek being not sharp enough. First time after all. Will try to improve on that in my next attempt. As for the lashes, I really wanted to put fake lashes but I did the makeup at 2am so all the stores are close LOL. Okeh will try to do some stylo pix next time hahaha...I should stock up on more cheek & bronzer colour so I can do more contouring. Love your input :p
Btw, I made satay and Penang acar yesterday and I thought about you. Ah, how nice would it be if we could share Malaysian food :)
PS: I pick mushroom from the wild, the pacific northwest is a great place for mushroom hunt, here we can get plenty of golden chanterelles, porcini, and matsutake, all quality mushrooms ready to be picked in the forest. But do go with a GPS, else you can't get out.
