Most normal people dislike working on Saturdays, so I was pretty surprised both by myself and the number of editors/journalists who turned up at Saturday’s Lancome event. Well then again, it is Lancome, so I guess the incentive was there (along with the possibility of freebieeesss)
I actually had no idea what to expect until I turned up and realised, ohhhhh this was a beauty fashion show. Lancome collaborated with Alber Elbaz, artistic director of Lanvin to launch a special makeup collaboration, and to commemorate this, either 8 (or 9?) famous Singaporean makeup artists (including Grego, Yuan Sng, Dollei Seah, Peter Khor and more) created a series of looks using this special collection. The models were outfitted by local designer Mae Pang.
It was a vague madhouse since it was held in Sephora at ION Orchard, and there were shoppers everywhere along with invited guests. Thankfully, I found several pals from CLEO and Her World, but not-so-thankfully, I also saw the ex-colleague who unceremoniously deleted me off Facebook the day I resigned. Ah well, commence Operation Do-Not-Make-Eye-Contact-Or-Else-I’ll-Have-To-Make-Awkward-Small-Talk.
The stage being set…
The collection! But wait, what’s that I see behind?
One of the 8/9 makeup artists creating her look for the beauty fashion show!
A relatively artsy fartsy shot if I say so myself -pats self on back- lol. This is Dollei Seah by the way, and my favorite look of the day!
A SUPER gorgeous collection. I wants! ALL!
Grego’s look – Grego is the most vivacious, encouraging, charming, friendly, sweet thang EVER. He never fails to bring a smile to my face. Of course, he’s also an awesome makeup artist.
Host of the day – Ros allllll the way at the end of the runway
My favouriteeeee look of the day! Not sure if it was the giant ribbon on her head, the heart-shaped lip kiss, the awesome Korean-style eyeliner/shadow or the overall cute-edgy outfit, but I. Loves. It. Dollei Seah, you rock!
If I remember correctly, this is Peter Khor’s look (cos I remember him saying that he got the awesome stockings/tights from Chinatown for $15 or something lol)
Us provided with rose petals to
hurl at shower lovingly over the last model who was sporting a bridal look
And the closing walk!
Souvenirs of the day – the Lancome Hypnose Doll Eyes Waterproof mascara, some badges, and a lovely mirror (not pictured).
