Ms.Match has been living in Jakarta all her life and she has never heard about it until the start of this year! It is either their PR-ing sucks or Ms. Match just doesn't get out much. But c'mon, she is the type to devour local magazines and other media on a daily basis! Plus she used to work for a life style magazine where there should be buzz bout the event among her art writing friends, and there were none!. And... some friends of Ms. Match's who are still working for said magazines still don't know about this event! <br /><br />Well... granted they are not artists or anyone hanging out with ruang rupa kids, etc, but Ms. Match really thinks that you don't have to go to an art school or be a suffering artist to appreciate and love art! Ms. match thinks that they should branch out a bit and embrace some potential art loving crowd who might just be corporate slaves like or fashion lovers (pardon the uncreative term for lack of a proper working brain) Ms. Match herself, who are just dying to see some decent contemporary art! Anyway.. She meant to go to the opening (which was on the 6th of Feb), but couldn't because she ended up staying at work until 3.30 am! So today Ms. match finally went with another contemporary art enthusiast, aka Mr. Match and son to their main venue, at Galeri Nasional. Mr. Match who has spent most of his live living in places with proper art museums and galleries with regular exhibitions, was quite scepticla at first and thought that he would just come to keep the missus company, but.. he loved it. They both did! And they are super happy to know that this is an ongoing thing. Looking forward to the next one! Here are some of their favorites:<br />First love: works from the public space workshop (which Ms. Match thinks should better be tittled, urban space). Ms. Match loves how the artists incorporate humor, ridicule and sarcasm into every work. This is the approach she was meaning to take when she thought about forming an urban space collective. Art in urban space. Anyone up for it? She thinks that traffic lights in Jakarta are just a tad too plain! Maybe applying some much loved plaid pattern from last autumn winter? Or should it be tribal prints from this spring summer?

Ms. Match really would not mind having one in her future house she will share with Mr. Match (even though Mr. Match thought they were too morbid). The white painting of strawberry with the 2 faces by Thaweesak Srithongdee inspires Ms. Match to don an all white outfit with a touch of tan and cool prints tomorrow! Ms. Match hears that the artists does illustrations on t shirts as well! Would love to get her hands on one. Does anyone have an idea where she can get them? <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_E427sDTTMXjL8j75sBlHIgUaAeMGrQGE2EZydlVpuyfeOjkk1IsJk0OqWY4DFMpvO7alVUKMJz_AdNbhdD-irap3AXRnAg4j3nfVEz07sreN4uqitRAH64F-QcLyFqFhvCZDZSOMhdwz/s1600-h/JAKARTAbiennalecopy.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi_E427sDTTMXjL8j75sBlHIgUaAeMGrQGE2EZydlVpuyfeOjkk1IsJk0OqWY4DFMpvO7alVUKMJz_AdNbhdD-irap3AXRnAg4j3nfVEz07sreN4uqitRAH64F-QcLyFqFhvCZDZSOMhdwz/s400/JAKARTAbiennalecopy.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5305615925889022770" /></a>Ms. Matchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16125445278103668583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124304946703569579.post-75670448844636672842009-02-17T20:18:00.000-08:002009-02-18T09:30:39.899-08:00Cool Londoners at London Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2009What was the first thing on Ms. Match's mind when she got a scholarship to study in London?? London Fashion Week of course! Even though LFW is not the 'IT' fashion show to go to compared to Paris, Milan, New York, but for Ms. Match who is completely in love with London designers and London street style (she opens http://facehunter.blogspot.com way too often sometimes, especially when he is hunting in London!) going to LFW is a dream come true. Since she was not covering for Vogue UK or Elle, or any other European or American magazine, she can only get really really terrible seats, where the only thing she sees sometimes are the girls from the chest up. So.. no cool pictures of the show, sorry (even though there are some that was quite ok). So instead, Ms. Match took her camera outside and started shooting cool Londonders. Here are some that she likes (by the way, these pictures were taken in August 2008.. a bit late, huh? but here it is anyway)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikzOW4Q0IcflzzhEKglo01bHdKFP9lx8NtxPLE69kuD73c1wF00CpVu4lXqabFPcyaG-gA6FG363Rn6-fzJXqCjnQCjhQGmlwCZcV4G2Qgnyiu806z5mLPmD19cqvq0otWuCjJgyR0bhDd/s1600-h/IMG_5230.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikzOW4Q0IcflzzhEKglo01bHdKFP9lx8NtxPLE69kuD73c1wF00CpVu4lXqabFPcyaG-gA6FG363Rn6-fzJXqCjnQCjhQGmlwCZcV4G2Qgnyiu806z5mLPmD19cqvq0otWuCjJgyR0bhDd/s320/IMG_5230.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304002127285807090" /></a><br />Love the shoes and the canvas bag. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmYb_OmAB8KbTIZicu-En68CSIkd4xwlqpE7oknhxWEZNUt1YRgpN4tlpaSNY-gSn90iq79Hx2BUmTuwVLWDDoIWErQkDbo6LkX5tMnROMiXrHLIVferq_v3ZmBWwpokDV4E8ktg6NblOC/s1600-h/IMG_5229.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmYb_OmAB8KbTIZicu-En68CSIkd4xwlqpE7oknhxWEZNUt1YRgpN4tlpaSNY-gSn90iq79Hx2BUmTuwVLWDDoIWErQkDbo6LkX5tMnROMiXrHLIVferq_v3ZmBWwpokDV4E8ktg6NblOC/s320/IMG_5229.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304002117655847762" /></a><br />Not sure about the total outfit, but was drawn by the bright skirt (or.. are those shorts? hmm)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0rR5glzccBO3X_9YWQ70zmIs5OYwJJJhm6IzjoJ3lv1qyZxCAHa1A9JhRJB4UIZ02CrI7kmb8smijqxvXyapFy3BJyrZFTj5OpEZUwip2EbNrT_ZT1l9JqRluuDbxKjMl_QnxJFHDFtBU/s1600-h/IMG_5266s.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: undefinedpx; height: undefinedpx;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0rR5glzccBO3X_9YWQ70zmIs5OYwJJJhm6IzjoJ3lv1qyZxCAHa1A9JhRJB4UIZ02CrI7kmb8smijqxvXyapFy3BJyrZFTj5OpEZUwip2EbNrT_ZT1l9JqRluuDbxKjMl_QnxJFHDFtBU/s320/IMG_5266s.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304162723934423506" /></a><br />Clashing patterns.

A 60's style shift dress at FCUK's sale at SOGO for a real steal: IDR 99.000!!! what a shocker. That comes up to only about 5 quid! Don't you just luurrrvveee a great bargain! Ms. Match is definitely more proud of a great dress she finds with a very low price tag than a dress that would cost her a month's salary. She thinks that there is not challenge in finding a great looking expensive clothes. About the dress, the blue is like one of those jewel tone colors that has been really hot these last two fall/winters. Ms. Match absolutely loves it! The cut is old fashioned 60s shift dress, with a hint of 80s shown by the exposed huge zipper. The bubble arm is nice too! Ms. Match then wonders if the dress would look good paired with a lacey on top.<br />Dress; FCUK, Bag: vintage bag found at the big Sunday market in Rome (forgot the name) for 1 Euro, Shoes: Marie ClaireMs. Matchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16125445278103668583noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124304946703569579.post-4858048802260843352009-02-09T09:12:00.000-08:002009-02-09T09:45:29.225-08:00Prewed pics inspirationAs Ms. Match has shared before. She is looking for some inspiration for pre wedding pictures (for those of you not in the know, pre wedding pictures are something that every Indonesian who is getting married have to go through (Well.. maybe not HAVE to, but in the case of the bride's previous occupation as a moonlighting fashion stylist, it becomes a MUST) before the big day. Usually a couple, pre wedding day, would take some lovey dovey pictures. The pictures are usually done in a romantic setting (in most cases it would be a choice between: a. beach b. mountain c. Old town look in Jakarta Kota area-usually complete with old granma bikes and the resulting pics would have a grainy sephia toned look- get it?), with the either couples smiling idiotically at each other, lovingly looking into each others eyes, or laughing big and wide like they just won the lottery. The future Mr. Match absolutely hates those pictures. But what he does not know is that, pre wedding pictures do not have to be that nauseating. Minus all those 'main' ingredients Ms. Match mentioned, it could actually be pretty cool.<br />Ok.. to move on, here are some inspirations:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.logoi.com/pastimages/img/alice_in_wonderland_2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 580px; height: 430px;" src="http://www.logoi.com/pastimages/img/alice_in_wonderland_2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />and this one<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.the-office.com/bedtime-story/alice_lg.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 417px; height: 438px;" src="http://www.the-office.com/bedtime-story/alice_lg.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />or.. this one<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://images.replacements.com/images/images5/china/C/georges_boyer_alice_in_wonderland_no_box_P0000013637S0002T2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 450px; height: 447px;" src="http://images.replacements.com/images/images5/china/C/georges_boyer_alice_in_wonderland_no_box_P0000013637S0002T2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Whoever sees this must see that Ms. Match absolutely adores Alice in Wonderland and all other fairy tales that involve uhm well.. fairies. <br />And then.. while looking for inspiration for the look of the shoot, Ms. Match came across this picture. It is done by Eleanor Hardwick. A genious 15 yearold with her website here http://eleanorhardwick.com. Her pictures show similar moods. It almost made Ms. Match strangle herself. WHy oh why wasn't she that creative or gifted when she was that age???? <br />Anyway,.... enough of the curhat colongan. Here is the inspirational picture. PS: The future Mr. Match has a very cute 5 yo son, who would be perfect to be the cheshire cat or the rabbit in a suit!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoP2ORRrnJwx6STSCMGFuQAxL38-pL2eRoa9Qb4iXtilE3bEKV1jxPx3dG2n4RaX-64ku-WXBIGWLYebGKAjSG0Yb21jDPD9PKTThAoBSczdUWsmeu-5RauyOGyTJQ6aD6HJ77dwo__tIP/s1600-h/alice+inspiration.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 215px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoP2ORRrnJwx6STSCMGFuQAxL38-pL2eRoa9Qb4iXtilE3bEKV1jxPx3dG2n4RaX-64ku-WXBIGWLYebGKAjSG0Yb21jDPD9PKTThAoBSczdUWsmeu-5RauyOGyTJQ6aD6HJ77dwo__tIP/s320/alice+inspiration.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5300853698431226130" /></a><br /><br />It's just perfeeeecccttt. The mood of the picture is mysterious and otherworldly with none of the usual lovey dovey romantic style lurking anywhere in the background. Plus Ms. Match's future hubby would not even have to show his face (if he chooses to be the rabbi that is. or the cat..)<br /><br />Ms. Match actually started thinking along the line of fairy tales, but somehow got stuck on this Alice in Wonderland ideas. She is still looking for more inspiration though. Any help would be welcome!Ms. Matchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16125445278103668583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124304946703569579.post-79029262675325452812009-01-29T20:40:00.000-08:002009-01-29T21:09:38.725-08:00Ms. Match is Getting Hitched!Ms. Match's lovely boyfriend just proposed to her last weekend. Well.. actually it was more the work of the boyfriend's cute 5 year old son. He said" Will you marry us?" Ms. Match was speechless! She is about to become a Mrs. Match! <br /><br />The setting was perfect, Ms. Match and her crew (boyfriend, son and nanny) were on the beach on a beautiful day. However Ms. Match just got out of the water after frolicking around and getting swallowed by waves repeatedly, hence the slightly snotty nose and messed up hair. Nonetheless, it was beautiful. <br /><br />And.. I know what you girls are wondering about, the ring. The ring is perfect! its a simple yet beautiful solitary diamond white gold ring. Just perfect! and most importantly: it goes with any outfit! The setting is also just right, not too much detail but not too plain as well. Too bad the diameter was a bit small for Ms. Match's giant fingers! so Ms. Match said the thing one should never ever say when one is being proposed. She exclaimed "It's tiny!" when she saw the diameter of the ring. She knows that it's a really bad thing to say! But she just could not help it! It looked like a ring fit for a woman half her size, for God's sake. <br /><br />Ms. Match's poor boyfriend was, of course, hurt to hear that, but after she said yes and explained that the size she referred to was the diameter of the ring rather than the rock, he softened. So... next up is.. looking for wedding outfit, makeup and and getting pre wedding pictures done!!! <br /><br />Since Ms. Match was a former fashion stylist, of course she is eager to do a propoer photo shoot with her future hubby. Especially since two good friends of her from her days as a beauty editor, one a fantastic makeup artist and an amazing photographer, have offered to do the pics for free! Alas, Mr. Match is not the type of person who likes flaunting his pics around. He is every bit as vain as Ms. Match (sometimes more, she swears!) but he just hates having his picture taken. Again, Ms. Match thinks that the main reason is vanity. Mr. Match thinks that he does not look good in pictures. But Ms. Match has not given up yet! She will draw up some cool story boards of what she wants from the shoot and show it to him. Hopefully he would change his mind. She alreasy has some ideas for the photoshoot which involves a rabbit, a dwarf and fairies.Ms. Matchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16125445278103668583noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124304946703569579.post-49010985735502938632009-01-19T09:04:00.000-08:002009-01-20T00:36:17.268-08:00Quick note on boots and 80s power suitsJust saw the most hideous thing today. A pair of boots worn with a stiff, formal work trousers. FYI the trousers were not the sexy skinny kind. They were more the 80s style power suit style which reigned in the days of of Dynasty. I know the 80s is coming back and coming back real big, but maaannn you just have to see these power suits. While following Marc Jacobs lead on an era of style is one thing, following a decade to the T is very different thing!<br /><br />To top it off, the suit worn with it was not exactly a perfect fit either. All boxy, loose, with no definitive body hugging accent. Even the 90s was not this bad. Its not that I have anything against boots. The boots were actually pretty decent. Believe me, I have seen uglier ones!<br /><br />But its just that awkward combination... in fact, from what I saw, the boots could look pretty okay if paired with a mean pair of jeans or skinny pants. And if only, like in ugly-duckling-turned-swan-make-over-movies, the look betrayed the outfit, it would have been ok. Unfortunately it didn't. <br /><br />What came to mind when I saw this look was the term invented by some friends at A+ magazine: shims (read the i like an english i), which is short for si mbak. Any Indonesian reading this would instantly think of a type of look which might be attractive for some (maybe for some mas-mas) but not quite so attractive for others. <br /> <br />Anyway.. Usually boots and power suits conjure up images of sexy, power executives, but in this case, paired with the makeup and hair and also the 80s look suit (which would probably look okay with a sexy toe cleavage bearing pointy stilettoes) it seems that the look is a mix of dominatrix wanna be and stay at home domesticated house wife who thinks that those bejewelled hair clips are the epitome of cool. clash in their heads. <br /><br />Or I guess its just their way of showing their domination, one boot at a time.Ms. Matchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16125445278103668583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124304946703569579.post-856440966328272462009-01-16T21:41:00.000-08:002009-01-16T21:55:34.773-08:00Update on the lame/PVC legging huntTo find some information on where to get those leggings I posted my quest on my facebook status. Within half an hour there were 5 possible solutions. Here they are along with what I found:<br />1. A friend said I would be able to find them at Melawai Plaza. Tried to find them a couple of days ago but couldn't. ended up restocking my neutral tank tops and tube tops for Rp 20.000-Rp 30.000 each. What a bargain! I have forgotten how cheap this place is. Not a bad choice if you want to find some basic stuff. Just keep in mind that sizes run small here. And for tops they only sell one size. Saw some dresses as well which could be quite cute, if I didn't think that half of Jakarta would be wearing them as well!<br />2. Factory Outlet stores in Bogor. Went to one last weekend and..... I found a pair!! Not black and fake leathery type like I wanted, more like lame material. But pretty cool all the same. The length was not what I was looking for though, they only come down to my calves. For Rp15.000,- a pair, what a bargain! I instantly snapped up a pair (pictured here) in my size. <br />3. One suggested Topshop. I've written about Topshop. Too expensive! plus they're gone any way.<br />4. my best friend suggested Pull&Bear. She said it was on sale for Rp 150tho, Went to the one at Grand Indonesia. They were gone!<br />5. Last suggestion, was Hong Kong. Yea.. right...If I had the money to fly to HK I would have bought the one at Top Shop.<br /><br />In my despair, I fund a light at the end of the tunnel.. material shop! What if I made my own?! I was thinking to find the material at this little shop I know in Pasar Tanah Abang, but the thought of going there on my own was a bit much. Good thing a friend went to Cipadu textile market and saw some material like what I was looking for. I went to check it out and ...SCORE! Got one meter for Rp 25.000! How cheap is that?? Just need to have it made.

She went to PIM in search of the Puma legging with the gold zipper and she found a cool jodhpur style pants instead at Zara (don't know what's going on with the third person thingy here.. I guess I have been reading too many blogs) It was on sale too! Got them for 269.000 (the original price was Rp 449.000)! There were only four pairs left, minus mine. So anyone out there who wants them, you better be quick. Tried them on as soon as I got home with my heels and my boy friend's bow tie. Nice look! If I may say so myself. Will definitely try this for work this coming week. These pants are 100% rayon but look and feels a bit like silk. It kinda falls like silk as well, only a little bit stiffer. The perfect material for these kind of pants. It has a bow tie detail around the waist and also buttons along the bottom sides of the pants. I tried wearing the pulled up and as is. Verdict: pulled up is noce to go with cool flats and casual top for a weekend wear, while the one worn as is would be perfect for work when worn with a more formal tank top, bow tie, tiny vest, and killer heels.Ms. Matchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16125445278103668583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124304946703569579.post-80094790719303555332009-01-05T09:04:00.000-08:002009-01-05T09:40:52.638-08:00Wish list #1 Lame/PVC legging<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_saz0ZBJIzX62NIrnZXKEfhwscEBrCCgiWdiBvby9b8brxki-dK-LDkKwHSOSK62K4wLjV7OBE4BFGJrT0l-_gF_POLecAddcgdVeLamVTCIAkK05zyZ78DOotrBvxyHTpRSV_-s2bHHk/s1600-h/lame+legging.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 167px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_saz0ZBJIzX62NIrnZXKEfhwscEBrCCgiWdiBvby9b8brxki-dK-LDkKwHSOSK62K4wLjV7OBE4BFGJrT0l-_gF_POLecAddcgdVeLamVTCIAkK05zyZ78DOotrBvxyHTpRSV_-s2bHHk/s200/lame+legging.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5287866005496032610" /></a><br />I am currently kicking myself over and over again. Why oh why didn't I buy a pair of lame leggings at American Apparel????? WEll the answer is easy I guess, because it costs 30 quid and I was broke! Hmmppphh!! Now I have some pounds left over which I am not using for anything and I am regretting that stupid decision to save up for rainy days. I saw a pair at Topshop in Senayan City, it costs around 550thou. I really really really wanted to get it. But that day I didn't have enough money on me, so I was thinking to wait another week or two until I get paid. Alas! Lady luck is not on my side. The damn leggings were all sold out! Could not find it anywhere. *Sigh* What to do what to do... Another idea is to make a pair myself. Maybe it's time to go material shopping to Tanah Abang! I remember seeing some lame material there some time ago. Does anyone know exactly how I can get my hands on lame or PVC legging or at least the material???<br /><br />Yesterday I went to Senayan City again in a futile effort to look for those hard to get leggings. In their place I found a pair of cool Puma leggings. Its murky purply brown in color (if you know what I mean) with.. get this.. gold zippers on the sides!! How cool is that??? I thought to myself.. yes! I have found the substitute! But noooo.. they only had an L, no Ms... so I guess tomorrow it's time to go hunting for my size.

The trend has been around, for, like, a decade or something but I was known as the girl who always had long hair and no matter how much I like seeing all tose cute pixie-ish hair cuts I just couldn't imagine myself with short hair. Images of my junior high schoool days when everyone was in love with Demi Moore's cute crop in the 90s hit "Ghost" including my mom and myself always held me back from taking that plunge. You see, that obsession with Demi Moore, led us to a hairstylist one day, and I ended up walking out of there with the (then) coveted do. It was a terrible decision. Back then I did not realize that the decision to cut one's hair boy like, means that one has to strive even harder to prove that one is truly a woman. I was a late bloomer and more in love with my beat up jeans than my floral dresses. That said, you can probably imagine what I must have looked like. Yup, I looked like a boy! and this was the day when the only item of makeup in my bag was a chapstick. Hmmm... A friend of my mother even mistook me for a son instead of daughter. That day I started washing my hair everyday in the hope of making it grow faster. I also made a vow to myself never again to have short boyish hair cut. <br /><br />However... 15 years down the line, I started to become intrigued once again by that oh-so-cute cut. First its Audrey Tatou in Amelie with her extra short fringe and cute, wavy bob . But that is still quite modest, it is still a bob and it is still quite feminine. Some years after that movie the bob craze took place, and I succumbed. I let Wisnu from Irwan Team Pondok Indah Mal do the owner of cutting my long locks short for the first time in 15 years. I was so happy with the result that I have never gone back to having long hair again. <br /><br />After almost 2 years of the bob cut. I needed a change. I was thinking to myself, maybe it's time to look into super short cuts. I first fell in love with Sienna Miller in Factory Girl looked with her Edie Sedgwick short hair and large lashes. And then there was the super cute Miss Deyn with her peroxide pixie cuts. I wish I had the guts to die my hair that color (even though I do not dare to think of how much suffering my black hair will go through during the 8 hour dying process). After some thoughts, having the guts to go super short was the first thing I needed to do. <br /><br />I thought I would do it one small step at a time, by asking my trusted hair stylist to cut off a little bit more each time. So in my head, my next hair cut would on the short side but not super short. But Wisnu was more cunning than I thought. As usual I spent the hour and a half reading my book (this time its Toni Morrison's Tar Baby) while looking forward to the pleasant surprise ahead when I look at the mirror. After the last few finishing touches, I looked up and saw that my hair was shorter than what I wanted it to be. YOu know the whole Rihanna craze? Yeah, I got that with some modifications. The sides and the back are a bit longer. At first I was horrofied, but after I stepped out of the salon and walked around the mall abit (checking my reflection everywhere I saw a mirror), I started loving it! Now I can proudly say that I LOVE MY HAIR! The cut has settled (I always say that a hair cut needs at least one day to settle to your daily life and routines and also to take the shape of your head) and now my daily beauty routine is cut short from 15 minutes to 5 minutes! Yeay! A bit of wax and a mess up and my hair is ready to go. I don't think I will ever go back to long hair now :)Ms. Matchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16125445278103668583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124304946703569579.post-75415023013508041292008-12-16T21:22:00.000-08:002008-12-16T21:41:18.386-08:00A bit of fashion please..It has now been three and a half years since I left the beauty and fashion world (so to speak, I started counting when I resigned as the beauty editor of one women's magazine in Indonesia). I have now a totally different occupation, which, I have to admit pays for the bills (mostly bills from my shopping and partying!). While the old one involved working with lipsticks, eyeshadows, hair spray, makeupartists, other beauty and fashion editors, and fashion photographers this new involves working with the finance section reporters, economic news, insurance news, bogus CSR programs and meetings with boring men in suits and boring women in suits (one with a particularly big 'jambul' or quiff as some might say it). Hmm very different I have to say. I am learning A LOT of new things, but sometimes I just miss being back in my old world. I miss having an excuse to look through fashion magazines, call friends for work and a bit of gossip (they were all working in the same field), and being one of the first to find out and have new makeup and other cool stuff. I realized how much I missed this world when I was calling up journos the other day to try and "sell" a story on a CSR program a client did (they like to call it CSR, but frankly speaking it's all bull). I realized that I don't know how to sell these stories because for me they are not important. Well if this was a "real" CSR program then I would do it wholeheartedly, but this was just some lame event that involved a samll amount of donation. And they expect Kompas to write an article on it? Hmm.. I was a journalist (before being a beauty editor I also worked in dailies as well, mind you) and I can spot a time waster a mile away. Anyway.. lets just hope some news paper will pick it up. Right now I want to go back to browsing through beauty and fashion blogs. I just wish that soon we will get a lifestle or fashion client!Ms. Matchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16125445278103668583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124304946703569579.post-80494269147323834472007-07-25T04:38:00.000-07:002007-07-25T05:21:58.293-07:00Ms. Match's Beach TripIf anyone is willing to endorse me, I will gladly turn in my laptop (my sole tool of working) and become a full time beach bum. I am a beach person. If anyone asks whether I like the mountain or the sea my answer would always be the sea. There is just something about the smell of the ocean and the sound of waves crashing that lure me to spend countless hours sitting on the hot sand marinating myself in coconut scented sun block and baking in the hot sun. I just love it! And the fact that there are countless bikinis and large shades to choose from just makes it even more fun. But what to do about makeup?? I am sure nobody likes to have racoon eyes after a long day at the beach. But what's a girl to do without her beloved mascara?<br /><br />Well on my last trip to Kata beach, Phuket, I have found that you only need to carry 5 things with you to ensure a pretty day at the beach:<br />The <strong>first</strong> one is my trust worthy <strong>Shu Uemura Eye Lash curler</strong>. This just doesn't fail and will never run. Forget your mascara! Do you want to slave away trying to clean your clumpy lashes from that ultra strong formula of waterproof mascara when you are just ready to drop dead on your bed? One quick press and my lashes are all set. Well you can try a coat of clear mascara just to hold the curl, but for me the eye lash curler will do. <br /><br /><strong>Second</strong>, my <strong>Avene sun cream</strong>. You have to always remember that the sun is still evil. It will cause wrinkles, spots and in the worst case...the dreaded skin cancer. To prevent that don't get cheap on your sun creams. Slather lots and slather often. Remember the basic SPF equation. Take what ever number is written on the tube of your chosen sun goo and multiply it by the length of time your skin does not burn when you are out in the full blaze of the sun. That is how long your sun screen will protect you. When you have passed that time limit, slap on some more. <br /><br /><strong>Third</strong>, my oasis in a bottle, <strong>Shu Uemura Depsea Water </strong>spray. Just imagine being able to spray on some cold sweet smelling water on your face after baking in the sun. Enough said. I put mine in the fridge just before I head out to make sure that it's icy cold. A friend even went as far as bringing a small cooler box for her Depsea Water.<br /><br /><strong>Fourth</strong>, my <strong>Body Shop Shea Butter Lip Butter</strong>. Before I left for this 5 day trip I was slaving away on my computer until the wee hour of the night (every night for a week)trying to finish all my articles and work stuff. I was not paying attention to what I eat let alone what I drink. By the start of the trip my lips have become so dry and parched that even drinking water was a pain. To get rid of this I drank litres of water everyday, slathered on lots of lip butter, and took a double dose of vitamin C. It worked! My lips were all soft and kissable again by the second day of the trip. <br /><br /><strong>Fifth</strong>, my <strong>Clarins compact</strong>. After putting on tubes of sun cream my face I'm sure you would be able to see your reflection on my cheeks. And the whole greasy look is soooo not me. But with a quick dab of my Clarins compact all the greasiness is gone and I am left with a natural looking color. Mine is a transparant color which looks rather light in the packaging but actually disappears on your skin as soon as you blend it. <br /><br />Oh I almost forgot. The there is another staple that never leaves my beauty case, my Shiseido blush stick. I am just totally in love with this piece of makeup that I have to have it everywhere with me. The creamy texture lets me put on the blush directly on my cheeks to give them a sunkissed look (I apply it to the apples of my cheek and dab it inwardly towards my nose to create a subtle sun burnt effect). Because of the creamy texture, it does not run that easily and it looks super natural, which is a big plus since I want people to think that I get this healthy color by sun bathing everyday. <br /><br />So there you are. Six things you should never ever leave behind in your hotel room on your beach trip.Ms. Matchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16125445278103668583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124304946703569579.post-73016456769141153592007-07-10T03:16:00.000-07:002007-07-10T03:34:10.185-07:00A friend who is also a director for video clips, ads, etc approached me to be the stylist for his upcoming work. A brand new boy band. I thought, styling boys, hmmm why not? After negotiating budgets over YM, he added as an after thought, "This includes makeup for the talents ya!" And I was like, "what??" Doesn't he know that stylist and makeup artist are two different professions and require a different set of skills? <br /><br />Maaann...at that moment I had flashbacks of a job interview with my current boss (the owner of a PR agency). When I said that I was a beauty editor which was also a freelance stylist and writer, he looked dumbfounded. And he said,"So what does a stylist actually do?" I mean this is coming from a man who has worked with media almost all his life. I am sure he has come across some fashion and life style magazines as well. <br /><br />I took a deep breath and tried to explain what my job description was as a stylist. I gues there are a lot of people out there who does not know how a picture in a fashion magazine was produced (or any magazine for that matter). <br />Oh well.. I guess the good side for me is that there is less competition in the market for stylists. The bad side is to convince people how badly they need a stylist.Ms. Matchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16125445278103668583noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124304946703569579.post-78056004921927345392007-05-23T01:50:00.000-07:002007-07-10T02:21:14.491-07:00Twist and Turns: Cools Updos To Try<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHIGwHuW0UyQ_of7_3zV6iata7Ue_mIChx4edJ5Wr7D4_3EvXECnS-nUYBx8JD54yN5ED4q6-Pxtg4x1lyOJDyNcpP8wcx97Wj0YccBhDC_y54ZaR5PGy6r3JuFp7K9P9mwKvSq3sc-mGe/s1600-h/Resize+of+_DSC0022.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHIGwHuW0UyQ_of7_3zV6iata7Ue_mIChx4edJ5Wr7D4_3EvXECnS-nUYBx8JD54yN5ED4q6-Pxtg4x1lyOJDyNcpP8wcx97Wj0YccBhDC_y54ZaR5PGy6r3JuFp7K9P9mwKvSq3sc-mGe/s200/Resize+of+_DSC0022.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085495807789445650" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmE36t6zCNUjghpxWxM_5vi90zSHsVYUxEZkZuVA7l8VYP94PcgR4eVuEKUGdtRwmfMcGc9kH8tqu5VL1eVVx_dGivyV5mBpiYUYdXOLYQSVGHajqOcogdCMl19PoxQdcQRes9iAn5514d/s1600-h/Resize+of+_DSC0045.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmE36t6zCNUjghpxWxM_5vi90zSHsVYUxEZkZuVA7l8VYP94PcgR4eVuEKUGdtRwmfMcGc9kH8tqu5VL1eVVx_dGivyV5mBpiYUYdXOLYQSVGHajqOcogdCMl19PoxQdcQRes9iAn5514d/s200/Resize+of+_DSC0045.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085495812084412962" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6-1mlD_DQzvJ2BKP21wCbfcGk6yIoboRXT7PenwPMH_pTv-H7fpdv-fNxc3twdPVrVFdKTArEyag7wPhnjaj32PA9dDrmaxQ9pliok3cGToa5o_Gp4M9RVzbu-3Ijf8Z54X4QrQ1u79-j/s1600-h/Resize+of+_DSC0006.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6-1mlD_DQzvJ2BKP21wCbfcGk6yIoboRXT7PenwPMH_pTv-H7fpdv-fNxc3twdPVrVFdKTArEyag7wPhnjaj32PA9dDrmaxQ9pliok3cGToa5o_Gp4M9RVzbu-3Ijf8Z54X4QrQ1u79-j/s200/Resize+of+_DSC0006.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5085488579359486466" /></a><br />These photos are from a shoot I did for Hair Ideas Magazine Indonesia. The concept for this one is volume. I tried to find subtle yet cute ways to apply volume to hair without the girl looking like 'ibu-ibu pejabat' as we Indonesians say it. FYI Ibu-ibu pejabat means wifes of government officials, and usually they sport a rather high teased hair do resulting in a bee-hive-like-mass atop their heads. I certainly hope I succeeded :-) <br />Credits:<br />Model : Vonnie<br />Hair and make up: Qiqi Franqy and team<br />Photographer: Adi NugrohoMs. Matchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16125445278103668583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124304946703569579.post-54310419505469013252007-05-01T23:54:00.000-07:002007-05-02T05:19:30.829-07:00Those Winter Wonderland Photos<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6JhywgdPX_DGKHINtEBLtU0jD1yEGayzLYlbK1O5foSwS0gU6GaWXb2LGpO2AtDjAJafREVFHxyXuDALlHZfJ9EWkJ1oET7WN8ZwGMRridWkA2aNf-RuemoYS0f2onzi-wM3PLJU0RpWB/s1600-h/Balenciaga.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6JhywgdPX_DGKHINtEBLtU0jD1yEGayzLYlbK1O5foSwS0gU6GaWXb2LGpO2AtDjAJafREVFHxyXuDALlHZfJ9EWkJ1oET7WN8ZwGMRridWkA2aNf-RuemoYS0f2onzi-wM3PLJU0RpWB/s200/Balenciaga.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059936493278141874" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS2JqODu3b8Am4lFcUbat2mDjR_FhAu8mKfgwVzPrGyNEygPUuR6LFLSgOPVdcrpTqzqJQv3ukA7Wf3Ax_YwRyJuLZuRm-midYdUT80B7Vykfsj-rfWwauL6nAtMJ05jAPBo7RvoT0-4n5/s1600-h/Balenciaga2.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiS2JqODu3b8Am4lFcUbat2mDjR_FhAu8mKfgwVzPrGyNEygPUuR6LFLSgOPVdcrpTqzqJQv3ukA7Wf3Ax_YwRyJuLZuRm-midYdUT80B7Vykfsj-rfWwauL6nAtMJ05jAPBo7RvoT0-4n5/s200/Balenciaga2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059936493278141890" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhdJgN40YAyK09EYXWx9nyA7LsWAChekVQQUSPO090xsTCMAPRDETDrzDpxEGJFAbZDLnS142ZucrqUchvY7FVNnGLgev83u9IZDSVS_XFthPxEjkVvdEMlGgeFavPoGVWlOLKVB7zpK42/s1600-h/Marc1.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhdJgN40YAyK09EYXWx9nyA7LsWAChekVQQUSPO090xsTCMAPRDETDrzDpxEGJFAbZDLnS142ZucrqUchvY7FVNnGLgev83u9IZDSVS_XFthPxEjkVvdEMlGgeFavPoGVWlOLKVB7zpK42/s200/Marc1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059936493278141906" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsRuDQDxYd2Zc0PymsptIaAIs-OxQemWeFlY7x7QfKdCinuKiIlzShNgOOO6Tm9BqrNyE5WyAaMAXz7oSlS4A5OccD6ze1MufTheJdwUF9HOIDOVtGHSADxgrxvYDEe81m-LZ47aKb7yhu/s1600-h/Marcguys.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsRuDQDxYd2Zc0PymsptIaAIs-OxQemWeFlY7x7QfKdCinuKiIlzShNgOOO6Tm9BqrNyE5WyAaMAXz7oSlS4A5OccD6ze1MufTheJdwUF9HOIDOVtGHSADxgrxvYDEe81m-LZ47aKb7yhu/s200/Marcguys.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5059936497573109218" /></a><br />I am sure you have all seen pictures of Asian looking faces with a background of a winter scenery. These pictures usually feature snow covered pine trees with some snow falling in the background, a snow man, and bundles and bundles of thick jackets and other winter garb.<br /><br />I came across one of these today as I was reading a blog on Indonesia popular culture. The blog was written in English and it was also quite enjoyable. I enjoyed it so much that I was curious to know the guy behind the writing. I only saw a reference to a uni in the wisconsin and I thought,"Ah, this must be written by some American scholar who took a major in Asian studies at his university." <br /><br />But when I was looking through the blog for a photograph I came across one which feature an Asian looking guy grinning frozenly from ear to ear all wrapped up in a huge puff jacket, complete with ear muffs, beanie, gloves, and all the works. "Hmmm must be an Indonesian guy," I though to myself. And when I finally found his profile I was right.<br /><br />I also remember looking at friendster accounts with pictures of friends (some first degree some second degree) in a similar pose with a very familiar background. All looking like a shapeless bloated snowman with a smile that could be mistaken for Batman's archenemy's iconic grin.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against people wanting to parade their holiday trips to a four season country while the rest of us here must suffer the heat, humidity and not to mention pollution of this metropolitan we call Jakarta. It's just that, if you are going to post your winter pics on the net for everyone to see, why not show off your excellent fashion style. Cold weather meands layering. And layering spells FUN and COLORS! Why not try donning bright puff jacket with a cool glossy Fendi spring '07 belt around your waist? Open the zip and show off your black and white striped cashmere sweater. Pair it with some worn grey skinny jeans and a pair of mean boots. You're set! Or better yet, check out some of my favorite winter looks from the 2007-2008 Fall/Winter runway shows and try keeping the chills out while looking H-O-T! <br />*Note: From left to right: Balenciaga, Balenciaga, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Marc by Marc jacobsMs. Matchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16125445278103668583noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8124304946703569579.post-81761885975717280192007-05-01T03:35:00.000-07:002007-05-01T04:03:04.280-07:00Back In TimeThis maybe a bit late for an introductory post, but what the heck? I didn't have time to do it yesterday when I started the blog, so here goes.<br />This is just a blog to post all my ravings and my secret obssesion to beauty and fashion. I was a beauty editor for 4 years. I spent one year as an associate beauty editor at Female magazine Indonesia and then, due to some dissatisfaction with the ehm ehm..management, i resigned and spent the next 3 years at Cosmopolitan Indonesia as a beauty editor. Why is this so discreet you might think? It's because now I work for a PR firm handling mostly IT clients. So not me!! <br />Well that's what most of my friends would say, but here I am, and doing the job every day. No complaints yet. Well.. not that much anyway..<br /><br />But I do miss writing about beauty and fashion. I miss being one of the first people to try the newest designer perfume (and being able to say,"No Mbak, I already have that one," to every perfume sales girl in the dept store preparing to pounce on me). I miss being on the invitee list of some of Indonesia' s hottest spas and salons (I once tried treatment in a spa whose client list include Donna Karan and Brooke Shield and the price one treatment there can pay for a full months meal of a whole medium sized village in a third world country). I miss going on five star trips abroad to do a photo shoot and to cover a beauty or fashion story (I remember sipping champagne while taking a nice warm bath scented with real rose petals and watching fashion TV on the huge LCD TV mounted on the bathroom wall). and most of all I miss styling photo shoots and writing articles. Hence the blog.<br /><br />Anyway.. I thought I would be staying far away from the beauty and fashion world but I just couldn't. I remember jumping at the chance to write again for Cosmo and also several other life style publications as a freelance writer and stylist. So now I still get to keep my 'corporate' job while still having fun writing about fashion and beauty. <br /><br />This blog will feature some of the non edited version of articles and photoshoots I've done and also some personal rants and raves about fashion and beauty products I've got my eyes on.

Para makeup artist pun berlomba-lomba untuk meninggalkan jejak mereka di ajang adu kreatif ini. Sayangnya, seperti tren fashion yang siklusnya semakin lama semakin pendek, tren riasan juga tidak jauh berbeda. Beberapa tampilan yang tampak di berbagai panggung fashion dunia untuk musim semi dan panas tahun ini, juga bisa ditemui beberapa musim silam (catat! Beberapa musim silam, bukan tahun!). Tapi, kami tahu, apapun yang bisa menjadi alasan untuk berbelanja perangkat riasan baru pasti menyenangkan. Untuk membantu Anda menyortir dari begitu banyak gaya yang bertebaran, kami berikan panduannya. Pilih yang sesuai dengan gaya Anda. <br /><br /><br />1.Thou shalt have no other color for eye liner, but black <br />Ini adalah saat kembalinya eye liner hitam Anda. Ingat! Hitam, bukan biru tua, ungu, atau warna-warna fantasi lainnya. Begitulah pelajaran yang kami petik dari panggung busana YSL, Gucci, dan Carolina Herrera. Ada berbagai cara untuk menggunakannya. Anda bisa menggunakannya untuk menggarisi sekeliling mata, memberikan aksen pada sudut mata luar, atau hanya di garis mata atas untuk membuat mata tampak lebih terbuka. Padukan dengan kompleksi kulit yang (hampir) sempurna dan sentuhan lipstick berwarna merah muda.<br /> <br />2.Thou shalt apply shocking colors to make thy lips stand out<br />Ini adalah ajaran dari head of the geek/cool squad, Marc Jacobs lewat koleksi second line-nya, Diane von Furstenberg, dan juga Philip Lim. Coba warna-warna terang seperti oranye atau neon pink yang dipadukan dengan sisa riasan wajah yang hampir tak tampak dan bulu mata lebat dan hitam. <br /><br />3.Thou shalt always worship flawless, healthy looking skin<br />Tiap tahun dan tiap musim pasti ada saja makeup artist yang menggunakan gaya riasan ini tapi tentunya dengan sentuhan unik masing-masing. Untuk musim ini Giorgio Armani, Balenciaga, dan Ralph Lauren tak ketinggalan menampilkan gaya ini di runway mereka. alis Giorgio Armani memadukannya dengan riasan mata yang tegas dengan aksen gelap pada bagian sudut luar mata, sementara Ralph Lauren memilih untuk memadukannya dengan pipi yang bersemu merah dan warna bibir pink muda. Untuk mendapatkan kulit dengan warna yang sedikit pucat tapi berkilau, Diane Kendal, makeup artist untuk Balenciaga, memilih untuk menggunakan foundation dengan coverage sangat ringan. Untuk efek kilau, ia menyarankan untuk menggunakan bedak yang hampir transparan dengan sedikit kilau di tulang pipi dan kelopak mata untuk highlight.<br /><br />4.Thou shalt honour the classic red lips<br />Saya, seperti banyak perempuan Indonesia lain, pernah beberapa kali memikirkan untuk membeli lipstik merah. Tapi pada akhirnya, pasti warna-warna aman seperti nude, beige, atau taupe-lah yang pada akhirnya masuk ke dalam beauty case. Padahal saat saya pulang dan menonton Fashion TV atau melihat gaya Gwen Stefani di MTV, saya pasti langsung ingin kembali memiliki benda keramat itu. Akhirnya, pada ekspedisi make up saya yang terakhir, saat saya melihat lipstik merah Shu Uemura (coba nomor RD 170), yang menurut mbak-nya adalah warna merah yang paling merah dari semua lipstik yang lain, saya benar-benar tidak tahan untuk tidak memilikinya. Impulsive shopping ini saya lakukan bukan hanya karena warna merahnya di bibir saya memang berhasil membuat saya merasa sekelas dengan Marylin Monroe, tapi juga karena saya baru saja menemukan tip ampuh untuk memakai warna merah dari show Valentino. Kombinasinya mudah saja, selapis lipstik merah intens, sesapu eye shadow warna perak tipis-tipis, segaris liquid eye liner hitam, dan berlapis-lapis mascara. Padukan dengan gaya rambut dicepol agak berantakan dengan dua bando tipis berwarna merah yang sama mengkilapnya dengan bibir Anda. Jangan lupakan juga the little black dress untuk menyempurkan total look-nya ! <br /><br />5.Thou shalt not forget that amber copper shadow color looks pretty on any skin tone<br />Siapa sangka kalau eye shadow dengan warna tembaga kemerahan ini cocok untuk semua warna kulit. Yup dan para makeup artist Missoni, J Mendel, dan Costello Tagliapietra berhasil membuktikannya. Untuk mendapatkan warna yang serupa, coba MAC Amber Lights yang disapukan tipis-tipis pada kelopak mata. Padukan dengan sisa riasan nude dan matte, dengan sedikit sapuan bronzer di tulang pipi Anda. <br /><br />6.Thou shalt not undermine the come back of the smoky eyes<br />Ya, ya, ya, kami tahu Anda telah mendengar tren mengenai smoky eyes beribu-ribu kali, dan kami juga tidak akan mecoba mengatakan bahwa kali ini jauh berbeda. Kami hanya akan mencoba menggoda Anda untuk kembali melirik gaya riasan ini dengan mengatakan bahwa, kali ini smoky eyes tampil di berbagai panggung runway dalam berbagai versi warna menarik. Behnaz Sarafour, Roberto Cavalli, Christian Lacroix, Versace, dan DSquared menjadi saksinya. Mulai dari warna cokelat, warna hijau kecokelatan metalik, bronze sampai warna hitam dengan aksen highlight emas di sudut-sudut mata. Padukan dengan bulu mata yang penuh dan panjang dengan beberapa lapis Lancome L’Extreme. <br /> <br />7.Thou shalt remember to keep cheeks looking pink, rosy, and fresh<br />Jika di musim-musim sebelumnya, aksen pink pada pipi lebih membuat Anda tampak seperti remaja yang sedang tersipu malu, sekarang hasil akhirnya tampak lebih dewasa dan sophisticated seperti yang tampak di show Stella McCartney, 3.1 Philip Lim, dan Michael Kors. Dapatkan efek ini dengan mengaplikasikan blush warna pink lembut, seperti Shu Uemura Glow On no. 33E di bagian luar pipi Anda (bukan di bulatan pipi) dan sapukan ke arah garis rambut. Padukan dengan eye shadow warna cokelat yang disapukan di garis tumbuh bulu mata dengan aksen warna emas di sudut dalam mata dan garis mata bawah.<br /> <br />8.Thou shalt not bear false witness that head accessories are so last season <br />Sekarang sudah saatnya membuat potongan rambut mahal Anda tampak lebih mahal lagi dengan menggunakan berbagai aksesori yang begitu beragam dan menggoda musim ini. Prada memilih gaya turban tahun 60-dan dengan warna-warna jewel tone yang cantik, Burberry Prorsum dan Dries Van Noten memilih head band hitam sederhana yang juga dipadu dengan updo sederhana, tapi tentunya cocok jika dipadukan dengan baju yang jauh dari sederhana. Visor dalam berbagai bahan dan gaya tampak bertebaran di show Jean Paul Gultier. Tapi juaranya tetap adalah Marc Jacobs dengan berbagai interpretasi kreatif dari topi pet mini dan bunga-bungan plastik untuk koleksi dengan namanya sendiri, dan buket bunga-bunga romantis untuk show Louis Vuitton. <br /> <br />9.Thou shalt not shy away from shimmery makeup<br />Kuncinya untuk riasan dengan efek shimmer adalah: pengaplikasian hanya di satu bagian wajah saja. Zac Posen dan Alberta Ferretti menggunakannya untuk memoles kelopak mata model-modelnya dengan sedikit aksen warna yang lebih gelap di sudut luar mata.Tapi untuk penampilan yang bisa membuat iri semua orang, Chanel tetap juaranya. Makeup artist di show Chanel musim ini mengoleskan eye shadow silver ber-simmer di kelopak mata dan memadukannya dengan warna gold bershimmer di garis bawah mata. Now, that’s what we call mixing up your metals! Biarkan sisa wajah tampak seperti tidak berdandan dengan sedikit bronzer di bawah tulang pipi.<br /> <br />10.Thou shalt not commit fashion faux pas by applying all these commandments at once<br />Mengikuti tren baru memang menyenangkan, apalagi make up dan rambut adalah cara termudah untuk melakukannya (bandingkan membeli satu batang lipstik merah dibandingkan dengan membeli satu gaun Valentino misalnya). Tapi ini tidak berarti Anda bisa berfoya-foya melakukannya Cukup pilih satu tip sehari, kami yakin ini cukup untuk menjauhkan Anda dari fashion police.Ms. Matchhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16125445278103668583noreply@blogger.com1
