It was supposed to be summer during the time we were in New Zealand. Beautiful snow came to welcome us on the first day instead! Supposed to start shoot only at night but because of the snow, we started early suggested by Ben. A definite good call! Snow shots! Ben made us bacon and eggs for dinner And then we went out to try to catch photos of the couple with the milky way. The milky way was pretty faint this time due to the very strong moonlight They still took some shots and we came back the next morning Created a sweet and romantic halfdo for Huishi today. At Church Of The Good Shepherd And some shots with the snow cape mountains as the background We came over to Fairlie Bakehouse after the shoot. The BEST PIES are right here! Salmon and bacon pie ftw!! After pies we continued with the photoshoot Finally saw the beautiful lupines on this trip in NZ. They are actually so soft to touch and they all look so sweet in colours! Came to hooker valley for the middle of the road shot Dinner was Erik's fish and chips and we feasted! It is so good! Next morning, we came to #THATWANAKATREE They were going for the helicopter ride today and during the last round we went up the Coromandel Peak, the wind was so super strong that no matter the amount of adjustments or hairspray, hair just kept flying so I made sure to give Huishi a neat updo this time round to avoid looking too messy. Got to seat at the front seat this time round! Weeeeet! And the shooting starts! A wefie with the heli! Changed gown and a new look for Huishi before we went into the woods for the next shoot. It finally felt like summer! So it was time for ice cream heh Pizzas to end the night! We had a casual shoot the next morning and this also marks an end to our magical photoshoot in New Zealand with this beautiful pair. Caught the movie Bohemian Rhapsody that night with Ben in Christchurch. This show inspired me so much so much so much beyond words. Really glad to receive this message from Huishi. Thank you so much for having Ben and I on this trip with you guys. Thank you both so much for being so sweet and great sports to be with. Miss the good times with you guys!
It was a really sweet trip with this pair. Witnessing the love between them and coming back to the place Andy proposed to Mutang. Gonna start this post with some foods worth mentioning first though. Heh. First time having bibimbap for in flight meal. Interesting! First meal in Korea was this spicy beef soup at the airport. It was so spicy my head was spinning. No kidding. But it was so good I finished everything while my head spun. The irony. And here is our 1st meal in Jeju! The pork slices on the plate was so unforgettably yummy! The mandus were really good too! We started fresh in the morning next day. A photo of mutang before make up. Thank you for the permission to post! Here's her after! Double dutch braided hairstyle requested by Mutang! A photo of the sweet couple with a willy wonker looking house behind which was actually a Cathedral before! A closer look of the adorable house! Then we came to a picturesque cafe. And here. First night dinner was at a black pork place the airbnb host recommended. The black pork here was so good! And the pumpkin salad too. It was so good we had at least 4 servings of it. Next day we came to a place where the colors of the trees were starting to turn red. Such a pretty sight! Love red maple leaves S Caught our first sunset in Jeju and it was beautiful. The sky turned into candy colors shortly after. Second night, black pork dinner, again! Haha Requested look today! Love the natural rocks here. So I had to take a selfie too. Walked past this cute ice cream shop and we gave them a try. Really cute ice creams done on the spot with a slightly different taste to what we usually have. More refreshing in a way. Next location was this famous lone tree. Actually really surprised at how famous this tree is. Many couples travel by car to come here for photos and the stream of people never stopped when we were there. We came to the big lallang field and nearby were rows of foodvans! The peanut candy here really does resemble the one at Taiwan jiufen! This beancurd skin and the soup was so good. We had the photoshoot in this amazingly huge lalland field and Andy piggy backed Mutang all the way back to the car! Last location was where Andy proposed to Mutang and we got to

First ever trip to Japan, and it is for work! Really thankful for this opportunity to enjoy and explore this beautiful place through work. Thankful and happy that the hotel the couple booked was in the midst of so much shopping, nice foods, don don donki, family mart, 7-11 and the best ramen I've ever tried. In case you're wondering where We were at Hotel Sunroute, New Sapporo. First proper meal there was steak and it was really good! So much feels looking at the streets all lit up at night. Kong Ramen for supper was the best choice. So glad we ate this instead of Ippudo which was just opposite each other. The best ramen and chashu is right here. They cooked the soup using woks and the chashus were charred on the skin and the meat was cooked just right with shiok fatty parts! The next morning we started make up around 5am and the sun was already shining brightly like 9am! Added on real hair extensions for Domenica to recreate the look she wanted :) First location was Ninja land! Very interesting place! Saw this peaceful looking goat A sweet couple pose The artistic hipster feels pose Lunch time! The owner of the shop gave the couple a bowl filled with tempura prawns saying that it is a wedding gift for them. It was so sweet. When the couple asked the sweet man for a photo together I could see tears welling up in his eyes. Gestures can mean so much to one another. Keep the kindness going, always! Side view of Domenica's hair for the day! Made a lucky find in 1 of the destinations they wanted to go to. There was a jetty in the middle of the sea which was unexpected and the place looked so picturesque! Also came to a place which looked so much like the Louvre Museum in Paris! Last location for the day was the teletubby land! Photo credits : Shawn / Frenchtoast And then it was time for dinner. Back for the best ramen! In a bigger serving this time round. Missing this Ramen so much now. Always love trying different country's yakult and this is the first time trying a sparkling type! It's nice! Domenica told me horse oil is highly raved here so I got myself 1 bottle and it is pretty good! Not oily at all, moisturizing and aborbs fast! 485ml for approximately $8! Just a reminder to keep this separately in 1 plastic when you check this in the luggage. Or only just open this for use
Really thankful to be on this trip with the beautiful couple Brenda and Richard and the funny and talented photographer Ben. There is already edited photos from the trip so you can see both raw ( my hp ) and the professional photos ( by Ben ) Our 1st wefie of the trip! The car we travelled in. Thank you Ben for driving us around! Sheeps and cows were seen now and then at every other side of the roads. So cute! A whole mountain of sheeps! On the 1st night we went to The Church of The Good Shepherd to catch the milky way and Thank God we caught it! Ben caught a shooting star!! Make a wish Next morning we headed to the lake nearby the place we stayed at and started the photoshoot for the day Everything is so serene, so calm and beautiful. Came to this retro and interesting place Brenda's sister recommended! We were also brought to the back to meet some
Glad to be Josephine and Ivan's make up artist for their Big Day! Met Josephine during our teenage years as ZA promoters in Watsons haha and we also travelled together few years back During that trip was the time I realized how amazing this woman is. Very resourceful, organised and meticulous. It was also during this trip when she was still considering Ivan and I met Ivan for the 1st time when he came to pick her back from the trip. Fast forward few years later they are now married. Really really happy for them because I could really feel that they are God's planned partners for each other. Ivan changed alot through Josephine and he never fails to thank and credit her and God through his actions and facebook posts heh. Josephine is really a very all rounded woman. A rare gem. Really must treasure her! We started the day at 6am Here's a photo of Josephine before make up She was sick this day. Really hope she will get well soon! Photo + Video taking of her taking her gown before changing Here is a photo after make up + change up Did a braided bun for her The accessory from the photographer was really suitable for her Kua! So cute, nice and apt! The sweet family moment Waiting for her groom! Here he comes! Went back to meet them at One Degree 15 in the afternoon for their evening look Did hairstyling for Ivan Here is a before photo After And mermaid hair was done for Josephine's 2nd look Sometimes I really cannot decide whether a hairstyle looks better without flower arrangements or with so sometimes I also take a before and after flower arrangement hair photo heh Attended their solemnization Congratulations Mr and Mrs Ivan Lim and family! Attended her wedding with my dear husby! Changed her hairstyle to a half up half down for her 2nd march in Hair florals were provided by her florist friend who was very generous with the flowers! Put on her favourite Hydrangeas and it was in blue just right to match her gown! And a photo together to end the post Wishing Josephine and Ivan a lifetime filled with Blessings, bliss, love, fun, good health and wealth, joy and exciting adventures ahead!
Both events happened on 27/1/18 thus putting them in 1 post The day started at 7am at Sylvia's home. Thank you Michelle for introducing me to her! :) Really thankful when she told me that she had been looking around for a make up artist and was recommended a few but she just felt more comfortable to have me as her make up artist and we came to a conclusion that it was God led :) Did a soft bun for her in the morning After this went to doll up Chyenne for Kelly's bridal show! Big Congratulations to Kelly for this bridal show showcasing her gowns. All these are happening when she is pregnant and almost going to pop in 2weeks. Amazing woman! Some photos behind the scenes! The pretty model Chyenne I dolled up for the show! She really reminds me of a much more petite and young Rihanna! Direction : Free spirited and independent women yet a soft side for love Thus a romantic hairdo was created for her Wefie with Chyenne And photos taken with my favourite 2! Happy to be doing this alongside Ivy too! In this photo we hugged like long lost sisters just because the earlier photo showed a white spot in between us which was the background haha And a group photo with all the make up artists present and all the models! 1st time working alongside Nicole and the team from Make Up Maestro! And the show starts! A short video showing how beautiful the location of the wedding show was and also 1 of the many beautiful gowns designed by Kelly! Flowers for Kelly from 1 of the vendors present, Liz Florals! Very colourful and pretty! After the show ended, went back to do Sylvia's 2nd look for the night! And the night ended with dinner at in law's place Simple dishes but so Yummy! Love my mother in law much! She's also an amazing woman :)
Shuxin was introduced to me by a friend, Sixian to engage my services. She had my mentor Christine Chia for her pre wedding some time back, Shuxin also already had a bridal package with make up artist included but she didn't like the way the make up artist did her hair + make up so she decided to ask around her friends for an alternative and so happen her new colleague, Sixian whom just left her super long job for this company recommended me to her whom I happen to be Christine's student and also happen to be working with the bridal studio she already engaged she doesn't know prior about. What are the chances? Talk about affinity! So we met up some time back for the trial and on 10 Dec, it is finally her big day! Shuxin on 1st impression seemed like the shy and sweet girl but after meeting her on her big day with her bridesmaids around I think she is actually the Da Jie Da hahaha her friends are really nice and funny! And she sure has a very loving hubby to have. He looks big and reserved but when it comes to love, he is just so mushy and loving. It is really so true to never judge a book by it's cover because we can't choose how we look nor can anybody's character and personality be shown just by face and eyes. So happy for them :) Gonna continue the rest of the post with photos now! Shuxin before make up She opted for hair extensions so here is the after And for her 2nd look Shuxin didn't want a change for her 2nd march in because she really wanted to spend more time with her guests whom made efforts to come some even from different countries instead of spending time on changing and not being able to be there with them. And there she was, walking around every table to chat and take photos with her guests. She is just this very friend friend to have :) She was also very nice to put me to eat in with Sixian before my next job so here is the lady whom brought us together Dear Sixian! Ending this post with a photo of the lovely couple before their march in! Wishing both of you an eternal of blessings, love, bliss, happiness, good health, joy and laughters always! 😊

18 November is a super hot date for all brides and wedding vendors! So decided to compile them all on 1 post Started the day with Genevieve at 5am Genevieve before make up Always thankful to brides whom allows me to post their before photos on social media ( I will always ask for permission before posting ) because it is only then can people see what the MUA did After Florals for her hair by Meadows & Clouds Put on Got to doll up a pair of mother and daughter in between the wait. Then went to Intercontinental hotel for Genevieve's change of hair to a loose messy side bun before her Solemnization Went for some photoshoots before her march in at the decorated stairways done up by Meadows & Clouds!

And then ending with Stephanie to attend a wedding dinner before it was my turn to doll up myself to attend my friend Jorlene's wedding dinner! Congratulations Jo! Her wedding was such a fun one and it was so her night! Loved her specially tailored gowns that suits her so so much! They are really 1 fun couple!

So happy for them! Wishing all couples today to be filled with so much love, fun, adventures, blessings, bliss and good health always!
