K-PALETTE: EYES ON YOU! WORKSHOP

A few weeks back, I attended a beauty blogger workshop organised by K-Palette! The workshop was held at Fika: Swedish Cafe & Bistro and I was really delighted because I have always loved the food at Fika (they are really delicious!) and I have previously blogged about this quaint little cafe a few times too!

For those of you who are interested to visit this cafe one day, here's the details of the cafe;
No.257 Beach Road / Arab Street (on the corner of Beach Road and Arab Street)
Reservation number: 63969096

The workshop was held at the 2nd floor of the cafe and I must say it was thoughtfully organised and well-planned. The 2nd floor is really spacious, good for private events!

The K-palette team was thoughtful enough and they gave everyone that attended a customised marshmellow door gift! Cute huh?

If that is not thoughtful enough, they even have a mini Canon booth where you can really camwhore to your heart's content and they will develop the pictures for you on the spot! Good way to kill time, haha.

After mingling with the other bloggers and after everyone has pretty much settled down, we were then treated to a makeup-demonstration by K-Palette's very own makeup artist which was flown in from Japan for this workshop!

We all learnt 2 methods of eye makeup:
A: Cat-eye look with the liner drawn upwards to create the "winged liner"
B: Kawaii look with a the liner drawn downward

Basically, the emphasis of Japanese makeup is all about making the eyes look really big to create that dolly/anime-like effect. They really pay a lot of attention to the fake lashes (really dramatic on that), eye brow & eye liner. The rest of the look is kept to the minimal; neutral, pastel shades like pinks & browns were used on the eyes, lips and cheeks.

After the makeup demonstration, lunch was served! Lunch was alright. I chose the chicken for my main.

I have never tried brown eyeliners / eyebrows before, so I decided to give these products a try! So far so good! Loving how brown eyeliners/brows look on me!

I have tried a lot of eyeliners/eyebrows out there in the market and I personally feel that K-palette products are one of the better ones out there. Really worth a try if you ask me, since they are also very affordable and are readily available at all major retailers.
