#MOTD: Purple Romance

3) Face

Futurist Aqua Brilliance Liquid Foundation was mixed with the Estee Lauder’s Illuminating Primer for a smoother application, giving the complexion a radiant finish. Using a flat foundation brush, the foundation was blended evenly onto all areas of the face. Here's a tip: To effectively conceal more obvious blemishes, using a small brush draw the letter ‘X’ over the spot and a circle around it before buffing it in with the Estee Lauder Double Wear Concealer.

4) Cheeks

To achieve healthy flushed cheeks, Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Blusher in Sensuous Rose was dusted from the apple of the cheeks to the cheekbone area in a light, circular motion.

5) Lips

A pop of colour was added by layering the base lip colour with Estee Lauder Envy Shine in Surreal Sin before applying the Estee Lauder Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick in Discreet on the middle of the top and bottom lips.

The Fairy Queen- Dior Backstage

Like the ethereal fairy Queen Titania from a Midsummer’s Dream, DIOR’s look is one that is part whimsical and part dreamy, but altogether so wearable for everyday. Using the latest Spring/Summer collection aptly named the Kingdom of Colors, the look is all about a natural, barely-there look with a play of sensual colours with a healthy flush.

1) Face

After priming the face with the Dior Capture Totale Dreamskin, dark circles and blemishes were then concealed with the airy Dior Air Flash Foundation, a spray foundation that gives a flawless, air-brushed natural finish. The foundation was sprayed directly onto the sides of the face (avoiding eyes), then blended with a medium sized brush in downward strokes. 

2) Eyebrows

Using the Dior Brow Styler Pencil in shade Chestnut, brows were defined using short small strokes, and drawn a little thicker than the actual brows for a fuller brow look. A shimmery highlighter shade was then applied on the brow arch to accentuate the shape. 

3) Eyes:

Using the House of Pinks Eyeshadow Palette, the lightest shade in Ivory was used as a base shade and applied all over the lid up until the brow arch. Next, a small angled brush was used to blend the rich plum shade around the inner and outer eye socket area, and the pearlescent bronze shade added as a softening colour to create a gradient effect. At the middle of eye, the light pink shade was tapped and blended for a pop of colour.

To create the illusion of wider eyes, the inner eye rim was lined with a Diorshow Khol Pen Eyeliner in 039 Pearly Silver, and the Dior Precision Eyeliner in Brun Brown added along the top lash line and finished with a sharp winged flick. 

4) Eyelashes

Eyelashes were first curled using a metal eyelash curler, before applying the Diorshow Maximizer Plumping Serum to prime the top and bottom lashes to add extra volume to the lashes, fanning them to create a wide-eyed dolly look. Next, an additional layer of Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara was used to further enhance the lash length. 

5) Cheeks & Lips

Using this multi-tasking Dior Cheek and Lip Glow (in a universally flattering rosy pink hue), a few drops were dotted onto the apples of the cheek. Using a dab-and-brush motion, the colour was blended upwards to the hairline for a natural looking flush. To finish off the look, the tint was also applied with a lip brush onto the lips to create glossy, kissable lips.

In keeping with the K-theme of our party, the lovely people at Farm To Table Cafe specially whipped up a delicious buffet line-up that consisted of Korean-inspired dishes and delectable desserts. 

Our friends from Laneige had a booth where attendees could try their soon-to-be-released Two-Tone Lip Bar that makes achieving that perfect gradient lip a breeze.

Attendees were also able to get colour-matched for the BB Cushion, selecting between the Whitening BB Cushion or the Pore-Control BB Cushion---which they got to take home as part of the goodie bag.

Here's a snap of our Glam Asia Editor, Smita De Souza, giving the two-tone lip bars a try. The lip bars will be released in Singapore on March 2015, so watch out for it! We've already got our eyes set on a few choice colours (fun fact: majority of the Clozette Team opted to wear #5 throughout the party, a pink-to-red gradient shade).

The women of The Nail Social were also on hand to give express manicures for our Ambassadors & Star Clozetters.
