Once I reached, I was greeted with a sea of ladies.
They were all munching away at the delectable miniature cupcakes and brownies. I was super hungry as I skipped dinner but my enthusiast-ism takes over the better of me.
Are you all curious already?
I went for the: Laneige’s Mystic Fall Cocktail Party 2010.
If you girls were there, you can easily recognize me as I am the weird girl who keep taking pictures with her baby pink coloured camera.
The event mainly focuses on how to wear this seasons colours and how to create semi smoky eye makeup that is even wearable in the day.
Not to forget, all this is mainly created using Laneige’s Mystic Veil Fall 2010 limited edition collection.
This fall collection includes the:
- Mystic Veil Foundation – Cream textured foundation with SPF 33PA++
- Mystic Veil Blusher – Cream type blusher with a sheer finish.
- Mystic Veil Eye Palette – A 4 colour pressed powered eye shadow palette.
- Snow Crystal Intense Lipstick – Contains amino acid and comes in 2 different colours.
The GWP that includes a tote with the Mystic Veil print is super lovely too.
I loved the fact that this season product’s packaging comes with an elegant gothic feel to it. It makes it feel more luxurious to own one of these products.

The makeup artist for the day:
Mr. Larry Yeo
It wasn’t my first time that I have seen him in action. His makeup demonstrations are always light-hearted, enjoyable and easy to understand. I think it’s because of his funny antics that often make all the girls giggle while he continues his demonstrations. He is such a lovable person, cheers to Laneige for getting the right artist.
I personally always enjoy the session a lot though sometimes I feel guilty when he cover about common mistakes that should be avoided and I am a culprit of it. Ha-ha but I always learn something new from it.
He also always stresses that:
Prepping the skin is very important before makeup. Applying moisturizer and sun block is a must. Girls, please do not be stingy and dispense out enough product out instead of just dots of sun block at the selected area.
Remember to apply it to all the skin area exposed to the sun, like the face, neck, shoulder if you are wearing cropped tops. I admit I am a culprit and only apply to the face area.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first product that was introduced was the: Mystic Veil Foundation
He nicely asked the lovely BAs to give us each some of the foundation on our hand to let us have a firsthand experience to feel the texture of the product. I love hands-on as it lets me understand the product better.
The cream foundation sample that I gotten.I love the cooling sensation upon application with a nice light aqua smell. It is easy to blend and it feels light on my skin.
This is the model for the day and her personal magician. She only had basic makeup on which is namely the: Mystic Veil Foundation and Laneige’s concealer.

Eyes
He used the: Dual Shadow Eye Colour Pencil - In Grey and Cream-silver-ish tone.
It helps to create a creamy based for layering of other powder shadow if desired too.
Note:
Larry mentioned to always starts with dark eye colours first and lighten with light eye shadows. It is because that it is always easier to lighten then darken with light base on the lids. It is too not advisable to use a white cream or shadow as base to layer colours on as no matter how much you layer on, at times the desired intensity just does show.
First tip of the day:
Dust loose powder under the eye area to catch any dropping eye shadow powder, this prevents it from dirtying your face makeup. Though, please remember to brush or dust off the power after you finish the eye makeup otherwise it will show up strangely on photos.
Using the Mystic Veil Eye Palette, he uses the pretty sheer looking pink shadow to lighten the look of the intense grey smoky effect of the eye to give it a more mellow feel.
He then used the white shadow for the inner corners of the eye to give the model eyes a perked up effect.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Application of Mascara
Curl eye lashes with curler before applying mascara
Second tip of the day:
After dipping the wand into the mascara bottle, wave the wand in the air for a few seconds to ensure that the mascara on the wand is slightly dry before applying it on the lashes in a zigzag motion.
This will help to ensure that the curls last longer and your lashes will stayed curled even after applying the mascara.
If you prefer to use the hot eye lash curling iron, please do so only after applying mascara, as it acts as a protective layer for your lashes and it makes the curls to last longer.
What is Asian women’s most important feature?
*Drum rolls* It is the EYE BROWS!!
It helps to gives us more a more 3-dimensional look and because we do not have as defined looking or full looking brows, we have to at least use an eye brow pencil to colour or line the brows.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kissable lips with the: Snow Crystal Intense Lipstick
When using a lip stick, it is always better to use a lip brush for a more precise application. Start from the edge and line it to the middle, do likewise for both sides.
Two different lip colours can be layered for a different effect.
For a more pouty looking lip, apply the highlighter on the Cupid’s bow and under your lip for a more contoured and 3-dimensional look.
The finished look for the demonstration, the model was nice enough to pose for my picture. ^_^
The picture above shows the colour swatches for the two lovely shades for the Snow Crystal Intense Lipstick. Please pardon the bad picture as it was really packed with all the ladies.
This is the exclusive welcome gift for attending the makeup demonstration. The ring bind note book is so lovely with the pure white sleek look and I can’t bear to pollute it with my messy handwriting.

If you girls have not heard about Laneige,
Laneige is a Korea brand that focuses on both skincare and cosmetic products. Laneige is the French word for snow, thus you can tell why their logo is of the image of a snow flake.
I personally quite like Laneige’s cosmetics as for most of the times are complimenting to the Asian skin colour. But with regards to their skincare, I have heard lots of raves on it and I brought some to try out at this event. Will blog about it once I get to it.
For price wise, it is considered affordable pricing for a reputable brand and they are often packed in a generous amount. Though look out for their promotional set if you would like to try their skincare range as it is really worth the savings.
Till next time girls ^_^
