Make up- heavy? Or just plain simple?

If you have any questions or should you have any comments regarding Fashion and/ or Beauty, please email me at fashionbeauty_lea@yahoo.com. Thanks!




dear miss,

i've been invited to a wedding early next month. problem is, i do not have anything to match with. i mean, can you wear sneakers with baju kurung? and i don't have a handbag. wearing a sling bag to a wedding is a big no no right? so what should i do now? i know i know this is so ultimately weird for a 23 years old not to have those i've mentioned above but i'm truly desperate.

do i need to get a balck one? or a silver one? i've given up shopping last saturday because it was so damn difficult. and please, i might need to put some makeup. could u please suggest a natural look? this is far more stressing compared to final exams.

Dearest Miss Desperate Undergrad,

I believe I have answered your qs on handbags and also about heels in the previous FaB entry, yes? :) Now, let me just add up up a few extra notes to answer your q regarding the make up thingie... :)

Now, talking about make up - it all really depends on:
  • The occasion
  • The venue
  • Time of the occasion ie. AM or PM, during the day or at night


  • The occasion

    • Different occasions requires different type of make ups. I guess in this case, as we're talking about a 'wedding/ kenduri', the most suitable make up style you should go with would be something light and natural (as you said so yourself) - nothing too heavy (like, you're not goin' for a hoohaa party thingie or clubbing or somethin'). Smokey eye shadows would be a complete no no for such event; light earthly colours would be more appropriate.

  • The venue

    • Venue plays an important role too, in deciding what type of make up style you should apply. Taking for example, if the event takes place in kampung area, more remote area, I doubt a heavy-showgirl make up would be the best make up style to apply - kang, kalah pengantin pulak? :) Kalau the place would be in a banquet hall kat hotel ke ape ke where the lighting is ala ala just nice ke ape ke, then, simple simple (but not tooooo simple) would be the best. Again, something earthly, something light - would just be nice. (use wide rage of earthly colours like dark brown, brown and stuffs for blusher, eye shadows and pale pinkish lipstick/ gloss.. )

  • The time

    • This is plain simple - kalau siang, use light make up; malam, well, excusable la jugak kalau nak apply on something heavy - again it will come back to lightling of the venue and also the proper occasion.

    So basically what I would suggest in your case would be (as you suggested yourself) - light earthly colours and shades for eyeshadow, blusher, shadding and also light pinkish lipstick/ gloss. Besides, simple and sweet always goes well with almost everything that you wear and at any occasion.

    Regards...
