How i found my right shade with ESTEE LAUDER double wear foundation.

Finding the Right Shade with Estee Lauder.

Im sure we all had those days of having a hard time finding the right foundation for your skin tone, and since i had the opportunity to discover on how to find your right tone for your skin, why not share my findings with you guys? Thanks to the Butterfly Project for having me to attend a complimentary make-over by Estee Lauder, to assist me in finding the right tone of foundation. Now before i start, I'm gonna put a before photo of me, so that you can see the difference!

My bare face.

Here's how my face looks like without make-up, and i think most of you would think I'm in my teenage, but in fact, I'm actually 23 this year! As insane as that sounds, thus i kindda need to learn to 'groom' myself to look more like my age. As a result at the end of this blog, i do hope you would think i look 23 with proper make-up applied to my face.

The chart to identify the right foundation tone.

Before the whole make-over start, the beautician checked my skin tone by using this chart as a guidance to find the right tone. As you can see, this goes with finding your skin Intensity first, followed by getting the right undertone which i think is great! One of the best way to find the right shade in a short period of time. Estee Lauder believes that taking care of your skin is important to ensure they stay young and fresh, thus before applying make-up, they had a few products to make sure my face is clean and moisturised before applying the make up.

First, they applied the make over lotion to make sure that my face is clean and clear from my light make up.

Followed by the sun activating treatment lotion, which would be one of their highlighted product.

Accompanied by the advance night repair to balance out the moisture and repair my skin at the same time.

Next was the nutritious rosy prism to give a radiant effect to my face.

And last but not least, would be to apply UV protector which is really important to keep bad sun rays to penetrate through the skin. 

And believe me, i have never used that much of emulations and skin care before applying make up. I took it as a lesson to make sure that i have the right essentials before applying make up. Now, let the fun begin! It was really fun to find the right foundation if you ask me. So, here's how the beautician found mine perfectly.

Testers available for customers available.

The 3 tones which were recommended for my skin tone.

It was applied to my face and left for about 2 minutes to see how it blends on my skin.

With over 60 shades available for Estee Lauder, you'll definitely find the right shade for your skin. And from the chart earlier, this were the 3 shades recommended to be used for my skin which were, cashew, warm creme and rattan. All three shades were applied on my face, and to be honest, i think warm creme suited my skin the best, leaving a more natural tone without being too bright nor too dark.

With the foundation , Warm Creme on my face as base makeup.

This is how i look after foundation with colour code, warm creme 3W0 on my face. And guess what, i absolutely was amazed on how light the foundation felt on my skin. My previous foundation, was very thick and it does leave a slight icky feeling as if glue is on your face, but this was incredibly light. I was told that 'Estee Lauder provides 10cm impeccable finish, and at the same time has 15 hours of staying power to last you the whole day'. Am i the only one impressed?

Estee Lauder's super gorgeous eyeshadows

After Eyeshadow and Mascara was applied.

Since i had an event to head to that night, the beautician was nice enough to get my make up done too. Which i thought was really nice, and at the same time, saves me time too. Thank you Estee Lauder! The eyeshadow has really good pigmentation and i also got to try out the double wear mascara. Who needs false eyelashes when you have Double Wear Mascara from Estee Lauder to do all the work for your eyelashes? *in love*

And the final touch of adding lipstick, i practically have everything from Estee Lauder on my face. So the final look? Well, i present to you, my flawless look with Estee Lauder:

The Final outcome! what do you think?

I love how it leaves a natural look on my skin, and it does make glow in a way. Right? And with this look, i'd say i look 23 compared to my before make-up photo. haha. Well, you might say i look a bit too heavy on the make up, but do take note that it doesnt feel as heavy as it looks. Very light, very natural and the outcome left my skin looking flawless and smooth! And who is this beautician behind my look? Presenting Ira Nur Ain who has wicked skills of a make up artist!

Review: Seventeen's Makeover Party 2014

Hello chika's,

So earlier i posted a post on the seventeen makeover party 2014 and if you don't remember, you cn check it out by clicking here. I must say that i really had fun at the event. Made new friends and learned something new. Definitely an amazing experience. And i will try my best to maximise not the information so that i don't miss out with all the fun! teehee

Location: Modesto's, The Strand

Date: 19th July 2014

Time: 11am - 4pm

First, guest to the event were served with a mocktail that i think was a mixture of cranberry and sprite topped with a cherry on the side. So you can try that out at home, and as the matter of fact, i might make myself one too! cause it actually tasted pretty good. YUMS! And the whole restaurant was pretty much reserved for the event, super exclusive.  Talking about the attendees btw, everyone was at their best look, fabulous!

The waiting time was pretty long to wait, because we had some late comers coming in. So, i arrived at 11am, the event only started at 12.45pm, which was soooo long. But in the mean time, i got to made a friend, who came alone like i did. So yay! Most of them signed up with their peeps, so it wasn't so much on making new friends. Which i think was really uncool.

So when they opened the event space, i saw these 4 brands which were, Panasonic, Lineige, Casio Exilim and Oxy in their own corners promoting their products. As everyone was separated in groups of 4, i was in the 3rd group consisting of 8 people. So in my group, i was personally more attached to two people which was Julie and Celine. Super nice girls.

So, Group 3 was assigned to the panasonic corner first, and everyone had to pick their own seats, and to our surprise, we had these hair brushes and mirrors and curlers laid on the table. looks like we were given the task to get our hair done ourselves, and i was right! There was an instructor, teaching us how to use the panasonic curler, which i found super adorable, as it was hot pink and with gems on the side. (Total diva hair iron!)

So after using the iron it actually took me awhile to get used to the iron, as it was my first time using a straightener and trying to curl my hair. And i usually just use a hair curler literally to curl my hair if i do so. The instructor did mention about putting hair heat protection lotion so that the heat doesnt spoil and dries up your hair. (tip 1) After a while, it got easier to curl my hair and i attached photos below of the final outcome. Do tell me what you think about it. Ignore the pale bare face that i have. haha

Final outcome of using the hair curler.

After styling hair is done and over with, we proceeded to the Casio Exilim corner. And basically each of us were given a camera to test out. And it was apparently specialised for selfies. (lol) 

The special thing about the camera was that it could stand on its own which made taking selfies easier! How cool is that? Its like a tripod on a camera attached. As you can see, we had a lot of fun taking photos with the camera. 

Another amazing feature the camera was that it had an automatic snapshot feature, and all you need to do was wave your hand at the camera, and it would set the camera to a 3 second timer to get you ready for the shot. And if you're wondering who's these fabulous people in the photos with me, that would be Celine and Julie. Even though i met them for only a day, less than 24 hours, i just fell in love with their personality.  Love, love, love!

When thats over and done, next on the list was Oxy. We were to tryout their new range of products which was the oil control edition which was basically to control oily skin. And whats shown in the photos below, would be a cleanser, lotion, emulsion and a mattifying cream. 

Here's a photo of them showing a demonstration of how to really wash your face and get that oil free smooth skin by using Oxy. I found it a little bit too dry on my face to be honest, but what caught my attention was the oil control mattifying cream. I found that actually worth buying because it keeps your skin oil free anytime any day, even with make up on, you can still apply the mattifying cream for instant oil free skin. I would suggest to try the mattifying cream if you would want to try this particular range by Oxy.

And last but not least was the make up session by Lineige. We were ordered to tie our hair ups to make sure no hair sticks out while applying make up and each one of us, got ourselves a pouch of face brushes and new compact sponge to control on hygiene which was a bonus! YES!

Our hair is all tied up and ready for our face makeover!

We had a beautician explaining and showing us the correct way to apply make up, and not just an ordinary look, but the typical korean cute puppy eyes look. Well, since lineage is currently one of the best cosmetic products in  Korea, i wouldn't be too surprised that they decided to do a tutorial on a Korean look.

And tadaa, the final outcome! Its nothing too much, but it looks natural don't you think so? Its not that bad when it comes to an everyday look. It seems more presentable. If you disagree, do let me know what your opinion would be. I would like to Casio Exilim for the amazing opportunity of letting us try out the latest camera which was uber cute and trendy too.

And oh, one last thing before i forget, how can i forget the best part? GOODIE BAGS! Thanks to the amazing sponsors who were Oxy, Panasonic, Lineige and also Casio Exilim. Woop woop! Everything in the bag was practically worth over RM200 of products man. The best part of any event i must say.

Whats in the bag?
1. Oxy products
2. Panasonic electrical tooth brush
3. Lineige cleanser travel set
4. Casio Pouch

And not to mention, there was a lucky draw during the event, and i was lucky to win myself a nano care! Thank you panasonic for sponsoring, and also Seventeen for the prize! Totally made my day. It was more like an early birthday present for me. teehee.

Alright, i think thats all for now. Looking forward for the next makeover party! teehee

Goodnight peeps

Regards, and much love,
Sara xx
