For those who want a more mature design!
First of all, we all know that Keira Knightley is flat. We love her for who she is, regardless but some people are just so sick.
It is very obvious that they found a picture of a blondie (Keira was never blond. or had short bangs.)
Only going for RM 80. A whole pallete of eyeshadow, blusher and shimmer for grabs.
Ocean's Wine..
A subtle smokey eye make up that emphasizes the crease of your eyelid.
Putting too much. hehe. couldn't resist. I like it anyway..
Gothic MakeUp.. for rainy and moody days..
Looks good on fair people.. I am quite tanned.. can't really pull off this look.
A very soft and feminine look for the ladies..
For a cocktail pool party!

MakeUp Phobia? Try the nude look.
Mika Liias.. The creator of Make Up Store
This is Karolina Kurkova on the runway.
Using last week's lesson to create a smooth skin... I smoothed her body..
This is the result of today's lesson... we do not want her to look like a porn star.. so we are just going to give subtle changes to her body.
Start up Photoshop
Go to File>Open to open our file.
Choose the file that you want to open.
You will see this.
This is our magic tool. Liquify.
Pick the first tool on the top left.
This is how your screen looks like after you complete the step above. She have a smaller waist.
Once you pushed it in, it will look like this.
See. just a slight change. Now we move on to making her breasts bigger.
Click on the expand tool on the left sidebar.
There you go.. bigger breasts..
Cleavage is made out of 2 components : big breasts and a DARK VALLEY in between.
There you go.. bigger boobs.
Kimberly before the makeover
Kimberly after the makeover!
We applied foundation and concealer for Kimberly.
Kimberly have big doe-like eyes..We enhanced that by making her crease more noticable using a monotonous neutral colour palleteWe finish up by curling up her lashes and coating them with mascara.
All the clothes are digitally propped on a toothpick in front of a vintage polka dot background.
Following the theme of her blog : Milky Cottage focuses on promoting her clothes around food and table cloths..
And. we also talked about cropping out faces. Instead of cropping out faces, you can hide you hide with caps/hats or your face with scarfs and that is what she did!
She can pose too!
First, there are a few types of heels and below are a few types which we commonly buy.
Notice how pronounced the veins look in this photo?
A classic example of too much straps can tangle your knots.
Black strappy sandals are difficult to choose as they seldom look good especially when the straps are very thin.
More thin straps.. go for thicker straps. the thicker the better.
See how old and unsightly the straps look. Their shape never stays.
Nice straps adorned with jewels can give you a very nice arabian look..
Strapy heels like this is a NO NO. This is because, the ankle strap will make your ankle look bigger if your ankle bone is big. Plus, it is uncomfortable when you walk for a hours.
Look for flat coloured pumps with rounded tips.
A hot raised and covered pump is the 'in' thing nowadays.
Gold, bronze and silver are the hot goods nowadays... but get them in flat colour. No patterns..
Peep toes looks great too!
Look at the shoe in the background, the heels are open in the middle.
The middle is opened again. Shiny patent leathers look good.
Another raised slight peep toe
This type of pointy heels are good when paired with jeans that reached to your feet.
Why does this shoe looks good?
So ladies, always remember to choose your shoes properly.
Ok. We have a face brush/blusher, 4 eye makeup brushes, brow brush and lip brush.
For foundation, you can either use a brush or a sponge to apply. (Foundation brushes creates unsightly lines when used, so we preferred sponges) It is up to you to choose actually.. whether you want a brush or a sponge.
The size of this brush is small enough to be a blusher yet big enough to be a face brush. Why not be both? Just remember to wash them if you plan on double-utilizing them often or you'll end up with a pink powdered face.
Sharp angled brush for eyelining or for the creative : eyebrow filling.
The comb used for measuring means like when you go to the saloon. They comb your hair and with the comb intact in your hair, they cut according to the comb's length as if it is a ruler.
Using a lipbrush can really save you alot of lipstick.. and your makeup look less heavy too!Brushes aside.. what about colours?
For example this basic brush set.. all of the brushes are made out of Squirrel Hair..
They can be easily carried in your bag or purse for travelling and comes with 2 extra eyeshadow replacement tips!
This is the Coastal Scents 88 pigment eyeshadow set for only RM80
Sometimes, when you are caught unaware, you tend to stand poker straight.
One other bad habit is to drag the dress out as a pose..
A sexy and cool pose, don't hike up your dress too high!!
Don't pull out the sides of your dress.
Mind your toes and where it is pointing. Don't point your toes inwards.
Raising one of your legs up is a great idea but not if you raise them up to the limit and rest them against the wall behind.
This is a very common mistake.. You want to open your legs, but you don't want to flash your privates so you end up spreading your feet apart instead.
Take care of not exposing your thigh when you pose.

Don't spread your legs wide by pointing both legs outward.
The ultimate way to make your legs longer.
OH. Please. No.
Spreading your legs apart is never a good idea... There is a good chance that you are flashing your chichi to other people......
If you missed the first tutorial, you can find it here.
Open up Photoshop.. you'll see this..
Choose the photo from the dialogue, the name will be different depending on what you name it.
If you look to your right, you can see a tab of stuff in your right bar..Click on the layers tab, you will either see it drop down or recline up. you want it to drop down, so if it reclines up click on it again.
This will pop up. just hit OK.
You will have another layer on top of your Background layer called Background Copy.
You don't want it to be too blur.. just blur enough to cover all the skin flaws..
Your photo looks like this now. all blured
Rub away the background : all the leaves and her clothes. We just want her skin blurred only.
Rub away her eyes, nose and mouth.. and the diamond as well
This is your result. Smoother skin!
Here is the breakdown of the process
Come 28 September 2008, say hello to Asia's first ever F1 street race and the first ever night race in F1 history - 2008 FORMULA 1™ SingTel Singapore Grand Prix!
"So we're a billion dollar industry making ridiculous amounts of cash, sponsors are throwing themselves at us, cities the world over want to host us and humanity's finest specimens want to bed us - but there's something missing ... hey, I know what we can do to spice it all up. Let's cram the whole F1 field onto yet another street circuit but this time, let's switch the lights off! What do you think?" The rest, as they say, is l'histoire.

Remember Panacea? Lauren Luke aka Panacea was featured in Blushberry.. She is in fact, our first make up artist feature.
She may not be skinny thin, or supermodel beautiful.. but she proves that everyday people like us can make it too.
She was bullied when she was young.. has never taken one make up lesson in her life!
Placing the prices here encourages your customers to buy the whole set. meaning : you earn more at the end of the day.
If you see this, Bam! you know its the top for sale. Why? because the top is in FULL VIEW.
Dress for sale here.. no doubt about that.. ring is too small to be seen..
like this is pants for sale, not shoe... you know its the pants.. and the photo is cropped to only show the pants, therefore there is a MOTIVATION for the crop.
Socks only. cropped just to fit the socks.
Ring for sale!!.. the ring is in FULL BLOWN size. everything else is not visible!
If the earring is smaller, you might see a very close up photo of only the ear and the earring.
Face cropped here. but you won't even notice it, cuz you are looking at the necklace which is worn on the neck. therefore the neck and the necklace is in full blown view.
Cap for sale.. cuz thats the only thing u can see plus the head.
What do you see here.
What about this?
You can do this too.. if you don't have a hood.. hide about 80% of your face.
Here's a secret. No one says you can't hide your face with caps. ( hide eyes and balding hair)
Stop. Shop. Splurge
Colourful printed versions of maxi dress!!!

What are french nails, french nails is a mock up of our natural nails without the moon.
Its Make Up Store's M Magazine!
2 of them!!Its simple, really. I want want want this book because I really NEED it! My family is filled with men! Dad,brothers,MALE cousins,uncles..you name it,I have it. I even have more guy friends than girlfriends. And, when I need help on makeup,clothes or just plain ol' beauty advice/tips, I can't ask anyone. And right now, if you ask me, I probably can't tell the difference between eyeliner and lip liner. Thats how badly I need the book. I think it can really help me understand more about makeup, how to enhance my features,etc. A book full of advice I can't get at home. Give it to me, baby! :)
What I like about Blushberry is..that you guys know exactly what we want. You touch all the subjects that we all secretly want to know about, but are too shy to say. For example,how to pose like a model. I bet we have all tried locking ourselves in our room and secretly practising poses in front of the mirror. Lol. And then there are makeover tips like how to get cleavage!(watch Mathieu's youtube clip for that) Don't we all secretly wanna know how to get cleavage? Well, thanks to you, now we know! :) So, yes, Blushberry rocks!
Prepare your eyes with foundation and the such.
Apply a colour in the golden range (bronze, gold, shimmery brown)
Apply any shimmery eyeshadow(preferably those with gold/bronze flecks) over your eyeshadow above.
Line your lashes with liquid liner.
Place the single eyelashes from the middle of the eye lash line until the end.
After they are dry, line your lashes and the fake one with mascara.
After you have done your foundation or finished your eyeshadow application.
Apply a line of glitter eyeliner across the top of your lash line
Finish the look with a black liquid liner. Use it to line the wings of your top lash line slightly arched upwards.
Would you rather bang a crowd of humans or something solid, if you are driving.
A moving car, and people are still raping her privacy.
If your car got swarmed by this big a crowd, would you put your baby at the back or by your body as a mother who is panicking and just after a bad divorce.
Somehow when she is being tortured like that, whether we like her or not : we want her to overcome all this and pull through.
With hundreds n thousands of people waiting for you to fail, to cause a scene..
A short announcement before we begin... the reason why we feature makeup artists is not because we lack the expertise to teach you ourselves, it is because we are waiting for the right moment to launch our own video tutorials.
In our tutorials, you will learn :
1. Products you need before you learn makeup
2. Preparations before you makeup
3. Canvas : Preparing your foundation base
4. Heart : Eye makeup introduction
5. Heart : Basic Nude eye makeup
6. Blood : Cheeks Blush
7. Oxygen : Lips colour introduction
8. Oxygen : Lips colour
9. Beauty : Enhance what you have
posts after that will be basic looks, but you will already have the foundation to start creating your own basic looks. Then we will go into intermediate looks and finally, be your very own make up artist when you learn our advanced looks.
This is all but a prelude to what we offer.. After all, we are one group of experts, letting you explore more couldn't hurt.. :)
Trust the chinese from China to invent a make up look just inspired from an ice cream???
They even have accessories!
If you strike a basic pose like on the left, it only shows your natural body curves. If you are flat, you'll look flat and if you are curvy then good for you!
Do not slouch! Take notice of how you place your hands and legs!
DO NOT SMILE! DO NOT PRESS YOUR BREASTS TOGETHER!
Do not show your armpits. Its unladylike. 
It helps if you don't slouch. Keeping your breath in can only take you so far.
If you cross your legs or keep your legs side by side, there is no helping when the camera catches the full size of your thigh which is even bigger when squashed by the chair!
If you are shy, you'll tend to hide your body by slouching and leaning forward like in the left photo. Don't do that, it squashes your tummy and exposes more of your chest!
Its a mineral loose powder which I have, that is their top signature product. Unlike other loose powder, they can give a THIN, SMOOTH and FLAWLESS TRANSLUCENT cover to our faces.
freshly baked mouth-watering wearable goodies delivered right to your doorstep 
A clever use of watermark on each of their images gives their catalog a professional look.
Another point to take in : use flat colored background when you are taking photos of your models, it gives a photo studio look that is both professional and draws attention to your clothes! **unless your background image serves a purpose.
A wall painting I did for Blushberry photoshoot which is inspired by Audrey Kawasaki's works.
More tips on photography, if u can; use natural daylight to light your model.
I think this is taken quite late in the day.. you can tell by the temperature in the photo.. which is yellowish..the best time to take photographs indoors with a window next to you is in the morning where the shadows are not so harsh.
Here is Diane Kruger wearing the Dior..
I like Chock-Ful here... what about you?
MAC HAUL!! GET ALL 3!!! They are limited, if you don't get them now.. they'll be gone like the FAFI collection!
Due to the strong colours in the lip and eye collection, their powder blush is pale to set the mood off!
This look uses the Spiced Chocolate Quad.. So if you are in love with this look, you can save up and buy just one eyeshadow quad..
An artistic make up look (no eyebrows...)
A heavy look for the night's out to an orchestra or a musical.
WE LOOOOOOVVEE THIS LOOK!!
This is our favourite by far..
If you missed yesterday's tutorial, you can find it here.No more wrinkles, moles or red blotches!Open up Photoshop.. you'll see this..
Go to File > Open to open yesterday's final result.Choose the photo from the dialogue, the name will be different depending on what you name it.
Your photoshop will look like this now.
Now i present to you the best tool in photoshop..The HEALING BRUSH TOOL.
Now you see the mole on her neck.
See the wrinkle above her lips? That's a no no..
See all the red splotches on her neck down to her clavicle?
Time for the real work.. Try clicking on the wrinkles beneath her eyes to remove them.
Can you see the slight laugh dent there? You have to notice all this little little things..There. all done.
Can't find the difference? If you can, you have some talent in Photoshop!
Ladies, I present to you Paris Couture Fall 2008.
What did I tell you about see thru's being back?
An expertly crafted design that it is impossible to wear for normal people like us.
We adore the hat, elegantly sided to the right!A classic recipe of lace and see through fabric. No surprises here.
Leopard prints?? Grand design, definitely but again the voluminous design makes it unpractical.
We love the origami designs by Roland Mouret.. how he folds the fabric to create or accentuate our feminine curves while adhering to his simple monotonous designs.
If you are a fan of origami clothes like this.. Roland Mouret should be your idol..
It is just such a pleasure to watch how his clothes fold.. both natural folds and structured folds..
If you can grasp the concept, you'll love his designs like we do.. the colourless designs that is both bold and a "complicated" simple design.
I wonder how they will look on curvy women.
We love his heels too.. the thick strap and the pointed tips. Amazing!
There's a reason why we love to see Karl Lagerfeld's design, they are over-exaggerated pieces that screams "CONCEPTUAL". Every little detail is perfectly staged, the fabric, the make up, the choice of models, the hair, colours, background. Everything!
The top looks like a raincoat, while the bottom looks like an umbrella upside down. As much as I love Chanel and the intelligence of the concept in his designs.. they can get so caught up in the design process they forget that they are humouring us in the end.
We love this rose inspired design with inflated bottom. I wouldn't mind wearing this at all!
If you just randomly see this picture off the net without knowing its Chanel.. what would you think.. it brings back the question to us.
Now this don't look too bad, I am even adapting to the head piece.
Can't say I agree with the dress cutting that is showing off the design more than our curves.
...
what in the world is going on?
It looks like a cut and paste project.
Can I not do this anymore.
Oh god. speechless.
Now, we all know that JPG's designs are very psychedelic.. so it kinda prepares us mentally for what is to come..
Bold bold designs.. sigh
I am just gonna keep quiet until i see something i like.
Finally!!! THE LEADING HOUSE OF EVENING WEAR MAKES ME SPEAK AGAIN!
This is odd.. maybe they are trying something new!
The stuff dreams are made of. The perfect red dress.
We love this! The odd sleeve design is mesmerizing!
A safe design that all girls love.. :)
I love this! the fabric trail.. and the embroidery..
Its difficult to use texture such as these and turn it into an elegant piece without it looking like trash. but this is... marvellous. It stands out among all the designers..due to the use of layering.. the classic ball gown look.
Once again, Elie uses "dirty" fabric as the lower half.. it looks good honestly..Imagine if the whole dress is this fabric.. how bad it would be.We can practically imagine Charlize Theron in this dress for one of her events.
If you notice the hairstyle.. its especially voluminous because they are trying to balance the overall composition. So remember girls, if you are going to wear an exquisite ball gown like these, big hair is the way to go!
An origami piece by Elie Saab... I don't quite agree with the choice of fabric but I am sure he has his reasons..
Well.. this year's theme is "Trend Asia 2009" and will be held on November 22nd til the 30th. Its very very near.. a month away or so..
Another Fashion week that is coming up is the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Now this sounds prestigious? Imported vehicle fashion week.. lots of cars to attracts guys.. lots of models and fashion for us girls!
We are looking forward to seeing Stella McCartney's Collection! Remember all her designs in the Women Adidas?? Its HEAVEN. Expensive but what would I GIVE just to wear any of them.

Lovely Satin fabric dress
Striped Cardigan with extended sleeve-end.
Polka dots galore!
Our personal favourite.. Vests can be paired with anything!
A tip on how towels can be worn as a makeshift clothing using a belt.
Look for the fancy straps one... those that you don't mind or can't wait to show them off!
They look something like this.. Great for pairing with party outfits
We love this one!!
Comes in yellow too!
The straps are really fancy and nice.. Show them off!
No more straight hair... if you wanna have straight hair, just keep your bangs straight and curl the rest of it in tousled waves. Dye your hair a flat shade of brown. No highlights needed!
Loose shiny and healthy waves..you basically can't get curls like this if you go to the saloon.. well you can, but they will lose their bounce and curls so fast you'll wonder why you pay so much for it in the first place.
Less glamorous compared to the above one due to the lack of hair colour.. Very hard to pull off, if you get this wrong with the wrong kind of make up, u'll fall into the "aunties" category.
A very nice hairstyle for office girls!
This is great if you do not have time to curl or straighten your hair..
Controlled messy curls for semi long hair!
The biggest Fashion Week.. with exhibitors from 21 countries and regions such as China, India, Japan, Korea, Macau, Malaysia and Taiwan all participating in the 2008 Hong Kong Fashion Week.
It was held at the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre on July 8th til 11th this year.. We missed it, dang!!
In conjunction of this event, a "Young Designer's Award" competition was held...
Champion Guo Huishan receive the award from the international fashion designer from Japan, Sen Trinidad. (not sure if my translation of her name is correct..)
The "Party and Tuxedo" award winner, Liu.
We love the way her gown flows.. so ethereal and soft and misty and elf like...
this is the stuff that dreams are made of...
A classic dress help up by ribbons and more shimmering fabric
