Bridal Hair and Makeup for Yvonne

Lovely bride Yvonne, who is always all smiles and with a great personality to match.

Thank you for your utmost trust!! :)

First look of the day:

It took me sometime to try to arrange the flowers prettily in Yvonne's hair, especially not when I'm still trying to wake up, early in the morning.... The stress DID wake me up though!
Definitely much harder than just sticking on a hair accessory! I'm glad I did it and without delay to the whole schedule! *PHEW!

Flowers in hair with twist braid

Second evening look

Flowers in hair interlaced

This style is also stressful as I cannot stick pins that are bigger than these dainty flowers. They have to be placed strategically around the braid without falling out and look nice all at the same time! Ahhhhhhh!!!

Visible pins all through are not acceptable and so I told Yvonne, " No vigorous head shaking for the night ok!" Hahahahah

Hair and makeup for Yvonne's Studio shoot

This is Yvonne getting ready for her studio photo shoot and this last pic shows her smiling beautifully at her husband. Awwww

Pre-Wedding Photography: A Love Tale

Sometimes it's ok to be different.

A wedding affair need not be the typical and mundane. What's most important is that the couple thoroughly enjoy themselves.

So, we came up with something just out of the box, our very own version of the fairy tale: 'Snow white and the Seven Dwarfs' (without the dwarfs), with the bride as THE Princess and THE Witch; the groom as THE Prince and THE Huntsman. :)

Sometimes we do need to cater to our alter egos plus a little drama of course...

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 look: The Oriental Siren Hair And Makeup (sideview)

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
