Hair Day

Posted by: gwengoh on: April 3, 2009

Was playing with my friend’s hair the other day. See the difference whether you hide your ear behind the hair? The first photo looks more flattering because she has pointy ears. Look in the mirror and try checking if you look younger by showing more of your ears (yes show more skin). Shows interesting results.

Hair care

Posted by: gwengoh on: March 4, 2009

I am pretty fortunate to have thick hair. Bet you cannot imagine my hair is twice the fullness back in my younger days because of the natural inner waves that I have. However after a hair treatment, it simply got tamed. Now that I have soft and managable silky hair, I make sure that I [...]

Bridal hair

Posted by: gwengoh on: December 31, 2008

Nowadays we are following more of Korean bridal hairstyle which is rather puffy and more relaxed in style as compared to the European style which are more sleek and traditional. I volunteered on the spot to do up my colleague’s makeup and hairstyle. Since I did not have my thongs, I simply used plaits and tucked it under [...]

Face shape and hair style

Posted by: gwengoh on: November 22, 2008

An oval face shape is supposedly the ideal face shape. However, a person can have a combination of face shape. The trick is to create a balance for the face and hair.

Pear shaped face has a larger jawline and narrow forehead. Strive a balance by creating an illusion of a fuller forehead by having fuller [...]

Shoulder length hair

This is a simple hair-do that you can do for any occassion. Divide one side of your hair into 3 sections – top, centre and bottom. Starting from the top, grasp some hair and pull it loosely to the other side of the head and secure with pins. Do the same for the centre and bottom. [...]

Romancing my hair – curls

Posted by: gwengoh on: October 22, 2008

Been spending the morning curling my hair. First, curl the front bottom ends. As you move to the back of the hair, curl closer (tighter curls) to the scalp. This will create volume in the middle and top portion of the hair. Notice the cascading effects? End by spraying hair spray to hold the shape.

Curls

Posted by: gwengoh on: August 12, 2008

(T) Used the heated hair tongs for tight curls. Did outward curls from the ears down. I look rather mature however certainly creates volume if you want to especially when you want to tie them up.
(B) Inward curls and only on the ends of my hair which I think suits me more and gives [...]

Natural

Posted by: gwengoh on: May 3, 2008

Everyone, meet Lani Lam. She just finished a facial with me and I applied a nice layer of concealer, mint adjustor (green base for acne), foundation and to ensure the skin looks flawless, I added another layer of concealer. Ta-dah! The redness disappeared! She has a high forehead so I pulled the hair down from [...]

Retro

Posted by: gwengoh on: April 27, 2008

 After the 1920s look.
Before
Did not really have an idea what look I should give Tricia but along way as I applied the liner for her large, listless eyes I realised that she can carry off the retro look pretty well! Also she requested for a “3-D” look for the eyes so I mixed shell with cappucino [...]

Punked!

Posted by: gwengoh on: April 18, 2008

 Before
A studious look…

After
Rock-Chick!
Esther’s 1st attempt at a punk-rock look. I used aqua blue and turquoise tint to achive this look. I wanted the focus to be on her eyes so I used mute pink for her lips. She already has thick, neat brows so I just used brow fixative/wax for her. Any thicker she might [...]
