I was at The Body Shop's launch of their Christmas makeup collection and OMG! I was told to appear with minimum makeup, like just foundation n eyebrows done. Lucky for my huge Evisu spectacles to cover up!

Upon arriving at the event, I was given a goodie bag. Inside was the products(2 eyeshadow palettes and 4 lipsticks) from their Christmas collection and we would be using them for our workshop...

2 different shades of earthy browns and neutrals for the holiday season...

Lovely shades of lipstick colours!

Introducing makeup maestro - Larry Yeo! He was the one who taught us step by step on how to create the latest look for the holiday season using the products from The Body Shop's Christmas collection.

Check out the many many products of The Body Shop!

Are you ready for the step by step Holiday look?

Step 1: Use the Lightening Touch to touch up the eyebrows and also to define the arch.

Step 2: Use the second lightest shade to fill the whole eyelid till the hollow of the eyes.

Step 3: Using the dark brown eyeshadow to draw a C Curve from the outer corners of the eye to the hollow of the eyes.

Step 4: Use the darkest shade to line near the lashes and apply mascara, from the roots upwards. No eyeliner is needed here, but use a Metallic Eye Definer Pencil (Brown) to line to lower lid from outside to 3/4 in and  Metallic Eye Definer Pencil (Gold) to continue lining the lower lid to the inner corners.

Step 5: Apply Dazzling Rocks with a Slanted Kabuki Brush to highlight and contour.

Step 6: Apply Lipbalm and dab on lipstick on the lips to finish up.

Step 7: Optional adding of bling to your hair or body...

Yeah! All done for the makeup workshop. A photo with Larry Yeo before we head for dinner and another hand massage workshop! Woohoo!

[What's New] Benefit Instant Beauty

Hi Huneybees,

I was recently at the Style x Benefit Workshop and picked up a few tips about their products and was introduced to their latest kits - Complexion Kit / Lip and Cheek Kit.

Here are the range of Benefit products...

Our homegrown makeup guru - Larry Yeo demonstrated that day and he began moisturizing and preparing the model's skin with Benefit's b.right! Radiant Skincare.

Yasminne Cheng was the host for the night.

In fact, after using them, the model's skin looked clean and refreshed, she could actually head out like that with some sunscreen.

Ok, now onto makeup.

First, minimize pores with POREfessional.

Then, with Benetint, give your cheeks the natural red glow and lips too!

After applying Hello Flawless foundation, conceal the problem ares with Erase Paste and Boi-ing of your shade.

Lip Balm. Lip Gloss and Mascara. Voila!

Nice right? The model looked so young and refresh, totally suitable for a every day look. So here's a little introduction to their kits, so that everyone can try out and get instant beauty!

First up, Complexion Kit.

I received the Light version.

Inside are the products alongside a mirror and instructions of step-by-step usage of each product.

In the kit, there's POREfessional, a small bottle of HELLO FLAWLESS that matches my skin colour, 2 shades of boi-ing to mix or use alone for concealing and lastly a face powder and a brush to set the face. 

Following the steps and with some basic skills, you can achieve flawless looking skin in just 4 simple steps!

And for the makeup portion, for natural rosy cheeks and some shades of colour, there is the Lip and Cheek Kit.

I got the Sugarlicious Kit that go deliciously nude... sweet & soft shades for a fresh, natural-looking glow!

Yes, in there are not only the products, there's also a vanity mirror and step-by-step tips and tricks. There's Benetint, a rose tinted lip and cheek stain, High Beam for highlighting the high points of the face for a 3D look, Sugarbomb - a quadrant coloured blusher for the sugar rush flush and also Sugarbomb a shimmery light pink lip gloss.

That's me after using both kits with the added eye colour, eyeliner and mascara. I love how my skin looked like porcelain!
