So, in this series of pictures that I took, Carrie mentioned she wanted to look like Kate Moss + Bed hair.
OK!.............And so the joke became that she should be 'Kate Loss' instead. HAhahahah

Carrie and Diya

As you can see, Carrie was trying hard to do a nice sexy pose. They are extremely absorbed in their roles. I was just laughing my head off behind the scenes.

Bong Qiu Qiu- Expressions Wellness Ambassador

Recently I had the extreme honours of doing the hair and makeup for Hong Qiuting, aka Bong QiuQiu. (As you all know her as)

She is one of the very popular social media influencers or blogger.
So naturally I was very nervous about the job and of course the client being Expressions?!

Thankfully, Qiu Qiu was awesome. She was very natural and friendly and chatty too! (Not a diva at all, which initially I was very afraid of just cause she's so popular and all......)
To add to that, the people from Expressions are nice too. (Even founder Mrs Chew was there.)

Well here are the behind the scenes pictures of the gorgeous mama Qiu Qiu. We did 3 main looks in total.
And an added bonus to make my day a really great one:

SHE LOVED MY MAKEUP!!!!!! Like really sincerely told me that I made her look so good.

Thank you so much for this confidence and appreciation!

Hair and makeup for Bong Qiu Qiu

Hair and makeup: Party look

Hair and makeup: Clean and fresh look

Hair and makeup: Glamourous look

ABOUT ME

I work with a team of fellow artists sometimes, which allows us to better ourselves and also work as a group to deliver the best services to you all out there.

Previously graduated with a Diploma in Optometry, I realized that being an optometrist is not what I would be happy working in for the long term. So I decided to pursue the unknown in the artistic industry, which is what I've always been fascinated in since young.

I figured: You only live once, why waste it?

So, after graduating with a hair diploma course from Kimage, I realized styling is what I love most and decided to focus more on getting experience in this sector which unfortunately was not taught in-depth during my time in hair school.

I strongly think that hair should also really go with makeup for a lady to look ‘complete' and that beauty IS the whole package!!

So, I started to read up on lots of information on makeup and went hands-on on my own face and whoever I can get for practice!

Armed with self-taught makeup skills, a hair diploma, and MOST importantly a very determined and passionate heart, I took a huge leap of faith out into a new career path to get more involved in the industry.

I proudly say my forte is my versatility in my style for (with an added speciality on asian faces) and is often engaged for brides styling, fashion and commercial shoots/print ads, corporate functions and beauty workshops, personal makeovers and collaboration with fashion designers, photographers and videographers. (Pretty much anything you can think of)

Being able to do what I love and good at, often keeps me in an uplifted, jovial and cheeky demeanor, making people feel at ease around me very easily.

Currently striving to better my skills with experience and looking to expand my expertise in related hair and makeup projects.

I am proud to declare that I am Cozycot’s 100 most inspiring women for two consecutive years 2011/2012 and want to thank all the people who have supported me so far!

If you would like to read about bits of my life in fashion and beauty or some random nonsense, scroll on down.

"It is ok to be mad, a little madder, or as mad as u can be.

Your parents would still have loved u.

But afraid of hurting them, u would have paid the price of ur dream.

Some people build exaggerated high defences against the outside world; against new people, different experiences and leave their inner world stripped bare.

And that is why, we become embittered people, lacking the will to live or die.

The Embittered, find heroes and madmen fascinating. In the end, both would die. (Heroes offer their lives in the name of a cause whereas madmen would commit suicide.)

But Because they forge ahead regardless of what other people say.

It 's only, at this moment, the embittered person would have the energy to climb up his defensive walls and peer over at the world outside, but then his hands and feet would grow tired and he would return to daily life..........

Yes I wanna be mad and as mad as I can be."

Until we meet,
Gerra
