"Be Free, Be Yourself"
Mary Quant Cosmetics Ltd has always prided themselves as being the embodiment of 1950's fashion designer Mary Quant, one of the British inventors of the much-loved mini skirt. Individuality is key, and when Mary decided to launch Mary Quant cosmetics in 1966, the main goal was to bring fashion onto the faces of women worldwide.

On Merdeka day, Joanna and I headed over to M.U.S.E. by Watson's in Sunway Pyramid to attend the workshop we were invited to by Manoah, and also to try out some of the products ourselves. Unfortunately, it didnt occur to us that it was a public holiday so traffic and parking was horrendous! We arrived a little late, just as official makeup artist Ms Takaki had finished applying the base onto the model.

Applying red eyeliner and mascara onto the model |
Eye Gloss RM79 Moisture Zap RM129 Oil Zap RM119 |
The Eye Gloss smoothed out the fine lines around my eyes, and gave light coverage for my dark circles.
The Oil Zap is to be applied on the T-zone, and kept the shine at bay even til I got home.
Mositure Zap on the other hand, is applied on the cheeks as your cheeks are the driest area on your face. My cheeks were silky smooth and had the 'boing' factor! =D

Joanna snapped me trying out the foundation. Why is my face so round?! |

Mary Quant's Ouline Colour Pencils can be used as both eyeliners and lipliners, and come in and array of colours as well! As with any other brand, the liner will fade by the end of the day, but the liquid liners stay put for hours!
Brow Liners RM59 |
These special mascaras also come in 7 different colours for when you really want to let your inner self shine through! From Ebony Black and Barbwire Grey, you can also choose to use Ivy Green, Laurel Green (kind of like a Turquoise), Brighton Blue, Lac Rose, or what I tried on, Bohemian Purple.
As for blusher, Ms. Takaki suggested I use no 12, as it would look more natural on me:
For shader, we used no. 4 to create a slimming effect under my non-existent cheekbones:
The shader is actually just the darkest shade of blusher. Each Blush Baby colour (that's the individual triangle) costs RM75 each.
Last but not least, lipstick! I chose V-01 for the perfect rosy buds!
So I didnt do it perfectly cz I was rushing, but I hope you can get a glimpse of how it would look! |
No. 12 - Bottom center. |
No. 4 - Also bottom center |
Last but not least, lipstick! I chose V-01 for the perfect rosy buds!
Moisture Lipstick RM108 each |
The day would not be complete without a shot with the talented makeup artist who flew all the way in from Japan, or a group photo with my fellow bloggers!
