Editorial: Hair and Makeup

My first ever editorial for Life! newspaper.

Did the hair and makeup for the model for "Car of the Year" as seen in pic:

Cover page!

I think the model in this pic looks a bit unflattering... But well, the focus is on THE car. Sigh.... sooooo bobian... She looks like she is just warming up can?!

To think I was super excited! They should have chosen something that flatters the model AND the car!! So when I saw this, I was kinda disappointed...

Never mind.............

Did this on the 17th of Dec so it can be published on the 19th.
I was nervous and really worked hard on not screwing up. The stylist was Trey and he has appeared before on tv for the variety show nu ren xiang. He was really nice and friendly! Not the mean and picky image I imagined... Hurhurhur

AND! AND! HE Did not even breathe down my neck and watched me with eagle eyes as I thought he would!! Thank god. I probably would have blundered if he had done that.

The whole shoot was done pretty quickly and efficiently. The only booboo was that, after we got out of the cab to the location, we forgot about the bag of Gucci clothes in the car boot! WTH

Thank thank god, uncle cabbie went to the kopi tiam to get kopi... But even if he had driven off, Trey still had the receipt so it would still be traceable if that had happened...

A lot of wild imaginations hor. hahaha

ABOUT ME

I work with a team of fellow artists sometimes, which allows us to better ourselves and also work as a group to deliver the best services to you all out there.

Previously graduated with a Diploma in Optometry, I realized that being an optometrist is not what I would be happy working in for the long term. So I decided to pursue the unknown in the artistic industry, which is what I've always been fascinated in since young.

I figured: You only live once, why waste it?

So, after graduating with a hair diploma course from Kimage, I realized styling is what I love most and decided to focus more on getting experience in this sector which unfortunately was not taught in-depth during my time in hair school.

I strongly think that hair should also really go with makeup for a lady to look ‘complete' and that beauty IS the whole package!!

So, I started to read up on lots of information on makeup and went hands-on on my own face and whoever I can get for practice!

Armed with self-taught makeup skills, a hair diploma, and MOST importantly a very determined and passionate heart, I took a huge leap of faith out into a new career path to get more involved in the industry.

I proudly say my forte is my versatility in my style for (with an added speciality on asian faces) and is often engaged for brides styling, fashion and commercial shoots/print ads, corporate functions and beauty workshops, personal makeovers and collaboration with fashion designers, photographers and videographers. (Pretty much anything you can think of)

Being able to do what I love and good at, often keeps me in an uplifted, jovial and cheeky demeanor, making people feel at ease around me very easily.

Currently striving to better my skills with experience and looking to expand my expertise in related hair and makeup projects.

I am proud to declare that I am Cozycot’s 100 most inspiring women for two consecutive years 2011/2012 and want to thank all the people who have supported me so far!

If you would like to read about bits of my life in fashion and beauty or some random nonsense, scroll on down.

"It is ok to be mad, a little madder, or as mad as u can be.

Your parents would still have loved u.

But afraid of hurting them, u would have paid the price of ur dream.

Some people build exaggerated high defences against the outside world; against new people, different experiences and leave their inner world stripped bare.

And that is why, we become embittered people, lacking the will to live or die.

The Embittered, find heroes and madmen fascinating. In the end, both would die. (Heroes offer their lives in the name of a cause whereas madmen would commit suicide.)

But Because they forge ahead regardless of what other people say.

It 's only, at this moment, the embittered person would have the energy to climb up his defensive walls and peer over at the world outside, but then his hands and feet would grow tired and he would return to daily life..........

Yes I wanna be mad and as mad as I can be."

Until we meet,
Gerra
