Water-proof Makeup

I have just got gorgeous water-proof shadows with awesome colour intensity great for those who love challenges under water!

Not only that, as colours are really intense and so I was thinking they are great for fantasy makeup like themed dinner and dance/fun corporate functions or fashion shots that require avant garde styles too!

I cant wait to use them! Until the palette is full just cause I ordered more to fill up the spaces before I start to go crazy with them.

I am ready for you~!!!!!!!!

Love,
G

Comic Fun style Pre-wedding Photography

It was an awesome fun shoot I've ever done for wedding couples. Great for couples looking for a different way to celebrate their union. :)

I for one will be game to try something for my own!!!

Because I am utterly bored of the standard types of photography that couples usually seem to go for. And I wonder if it is the lack of choices or we are all too traditionally safe and "un-fun"

However, I must say the recent attractive photography packages tied up with the bridal studios are starting to acquire more fun and taste.

Like:

NO MORE posing in front of huge rocks, or mundane beach scenes at sentosa/east coast.

AND MORE Korean themed styles and colourful, fun, happy couple shots. Artistic and etc.

DON"T get me wrong, I just feel that the process of taking couple shots should be fun and INVOLVED, not trying very hard to fit into something forced and cliched, so to speak. And that's where an important art director should come into play. Or else a good photographer with good directions, or the couple with crazy ideas they are game to try.

I mean, it's supposed to be once in a lifetime kinda thing, why not have the best memories to go with while doing it??????

:D Im sorry for being a sucker for fun things! :D

And I am trying to brainstorm an array of fun things to do for my own wedding! Soon enough

Love,
G

Bridal Hair and Makeup: Reference styles

Here are some bridal hair and makeup looks I did.

Radiant bridal hair and makeup

Romantic Bridal makeup and hair up-do

Bride's Hair and Makeup For the day ceremony

Bridal hair up-do and makeup for night dinner

Bridal hair and makeup: Smokey

Bride Suki has hair extensions. One thing to note about hair extensions is that curls do not last as long compared to our real hair because the extensions have all been chemically treated and are very limp in the strand composition.

I normally recommend an up-do for brides with ultra long extensions especially when the weather is so hot in Singapore!
At One degree 15, Sentosa

But of course, if the bride prefers, I can actually provide some tips to let hair curls last longer for extensions with limitations.

Bridal Hair and Makeup: Braids

The bride who loves big thick lashes. She is kinda concerned about her very small eyes.

Beauty is confidence. As long she feels good, who's to say she is not allowed her use 'Fan-sy' lashes?!

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
