How to Hold a Great Makeup Party.

You need:-

1. A bunch of crazy makeup lovers!


2. A treasure chest of makeup!

3. And of course, yummy food with lots of calories for breaks in between!


The Details

Early last week, Paris, Audrey, Ringo, Karen and I attended a makeup party organised by Maybelline exclusively for us. This being the first time I’m attending a makeup party, I braved myself to go out without wearing any makeup since I was gonna have to remove all of them later anyways if I do put them on. I think I scared quite a few people on the way to the makeup party. Thank God for hugeass sunglasses ala Paris Hilton.

The time was 3 pm on a lazy Monday afternoon. While everyone else was toiling away at work, us girls were being little girls playing with mom’s makeup again. My excitement got hold of me when I first saw the makeup box. You would too if you were there! Lipsticks, mascaras, eyeshadows, foundations! You name it, it’s there. I was literally stuck to the makeup box, nobody could pull me away :D I mean, look at the stash!


Maybelline Water Shine 3D Collagen lipsticks in 12 shades. This is the Star of the Event.



More Maybelline lipsticks.


More Maybelline lipsticks & lipglosses.


Maybelline Eye Studio Eyeshadow quads.


Karen said that she didn’t really know how to put on makeup other than the usual foundation, so I offered to do her eyes. We used green palette on her (1 o’clock at the pic above) and I thought the colours made her look really good! Later I found out that she loves green eyeshadow and has a lot of them. Talk about hoarding, man. hahahhaha

Anyways, check out Karen’s eyes. I did one side and she did the other side so that she could learn how to do it. My only gripe about the makeup party was that they didn’t provide us with any brushes other than those that came together with the makeup. This is the best that I could do with the teeny weeny brushes. :(


While I was doing Karen’s makeup, Audrey and Ringo did their own. Look at Audrey’s mouth when she’s applying mascara. Does your mouth get all distorted when you’re doing your liner or mascara? LOL don’t get angry, Audrey, everyone does it unconsciously!


After doing Karen’s makeup, I demanded for some pampering of my own. Look at Audrey, so professional right!! Ringo was the appointed ‘makeup consultant’. Ha ha


After a while Audrey got bored of pampering me and decided that she’d rather make herself look gorgeous instead, so she JUST WALKED OFF with a Maybelline Water Shine 3D Collagen lipstick and left me to do my own makeup. To put it in her usual slang, like wtf!!! How can wtf wtf wtf wtf!!!


So poor me had to do my own makeup… :(


While rummaging through all the makeup, we found few bottles of nail polish. I didn’t know that Maybelline made nail polish… anyhow, Ringo got conned into painting my nails. LOL she’s really into nail art anyways…. right Ringo??


Anyways, here are some photos of us after putting on all sort of stuff on our faces, finished with various shades of the Maybelline Water Shine 3D Collagen lipsticks. Pretty or not?

And now the part that people usually don’t show… the BEFORE pictures!!! Okaylah, I don’t wanna be mean so I’ll just post my BEFORE picture, okay?


And to counter the effect of the above photo, here is a nicer photo of moi and Karen. All makeup used are from Maybelline.


And one final photo of us (L-R, Audrey, Ringo, moi, Karen). So what do you think? Maybe we are born with it or maybe it’s Maybelline? ;)

Terima kasih Maybelline for throwing us the great makeup party. More more more! We is love makeup!!!!
