Huney'Z World: Maggie Cheung

*Note: This post contains nudity*

Hi Huneybees,

I just did a blog post on M.A.C.'s recent collection - ChenMan Love & Water and seriously, I never got to know who Chen Man is until this collection. *Sorry Chen Man* A little Google search on Chen Man and tons of posts and definitely beautiful images filled my computer screen. Below is an interview with her during the shoot for M.A.C's collection.

There's a little sense of pride in me that an Asian is picked as inspiration for a M.A.C. collection!

So who's Chen Man?

Well, she's Beijing's leading photographer and over the years, she has contributed to some of the world's best-known lifestyle magazines and campaigned for international brands such as Motorola and Adidas.

She gained prominence in 2003 when she completed a series of ground-breaking covers for the China-based design and arts magazine Vision. Although then still a student at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, the images she produced crashed the conservatism of China’s media industry at the time and captured the spirit of creative possibility that was driving a new generation of artists and designers. She then made eight covers for Vision and each image is based on an original studio shot that is digitally enhanced in post production.

However, it is the eclectic range of motifs and influences in her work, from Mickey Mouse and Manga to the Three Gorges Dam and the Great Wall, that best characterize her aesthetic. Her success far exceeds what many photographers can achieve in that same period of time.

So, I said I Googled her right? Check out the stars she have worked with already!

Fan Bing Bing. She's like her muse! When you Google Chen Man, tons of Fan Bing Bing's photos taken by her will pop up.

EVEN BECKHAM!!!!

But the thing I love about is her style, portraying female sexiness and how she mix post production works into her photographs. So bold, so edgy, so ahead of time!

Bling Bling!

Isn't Chen Man amazing?! She really inspires me and she is now in my list of favourite photographers. Ranked top!

Hi Huneybees,

Director's chair to compliment the collection. How clever!

This is one of my more expensive palette, but I'm super happy with it. I bought it during my Hong Kong trip (Wong Kar Wai & Hong Kong, so memorable right?), but only decided to use now to celebrate the New Year.

The display in store.

Let's take a look at the eyeshadow palette first. The colours are vibrant and the eyeshadows are all so easy to apply!

In honor of Shu Uemura's founding principle "art is a way of life", shu uemura continues to strengthen the bond between art and beauty in its ongoing series of artist collaborations for the 2011 holiday collection. For the 2011 holiday season, shu uemura comes together with internationally renowned film
director Wong Kar Wai. Wong is an award-winning writer/director whose unique narrative and visual styles have touched audiences around the world and inspired a generation of filmmakers.

Wong Kar Wai is a 'master of colors', just like Mr. Shu Uemura.
Possessing a unique perspective on femininity, he has specialized in capturing the mystique of women. In collaboration with Wong Kar Wai, shu uemura introduces a holiday collection rich in emotions and atmosphere, with beautiful package decoration inspired by his special short film for shu uemura, "Mask". With his distinctive appreciation of femininity and his signature style that is both nostalgic and hip, this collection emphasizes timeless elegance and poetic tones, and takes the shu uemura look to a new dimension.

United through an incredible sense of color and eternal pursuit of beauty, Wong Kar Wai and shu uemura come together to create a fantasy world. Indulge in sensuous emotion, experience the essence of beauty, and boldly express your own passion this 2011 holiday season.


The cover is holographic. Check out the video below.

I would suggest this look for a party night out (especially if the theme is bling and blue water) or if you tone down the false eyelashes a little, you can definitely wear this to go with your elegant gown.

Note: I've been editing this video since 1st Jan 2012 due to the limited size Youtube allows for uploading. So sorry if it seems a little choppy. Feel free to comment and ask me any questions if you don't understand any part?
