What happened on 03 Oct?
October going to be one of the busiest month for makeup artists, hairstylists, fashion stylists, fashion designers & the press. Why? It's Fashion Week! It says week, but it's like for the entire month. Haha....
So we had James Molloy, M•A•C Director of Artistry, APAC to facilitate a 1-day backstage workshop to help equip us more into the busy backstage scenarios.

James covered on:
✔ Set Bag
✔ Backstage Etiquette
✔ Body Makeup
✔ Couture Makeup
✔ Male Makeup
It definitely did a good drill into our backstage skills. It's like learning from mistakes, through a chaos.
Scenario no. 1: James made us do body makeup on our models for only FIVE MINUTES with NO ROOM LIGHTS! I have to say it was craaaazzzzyyyy, especially on those who've to cover tattoos & marks!
*Tips:
- have a torchlight!
- work as a team.
- take in consideration the texture of model's skin.
- may have to use 1-2 shades darker for the legs compare to the face.
Scenario no. 2: With 30 minutes, James got us to do a couture makeup that had luminous skin, minimal makeup with maximum effect, clever highlighting, correcting tricks & a boy brows. In which, we only work with tones of browns.
The hardest time we had on was making the girl's brows look boyish, with texture.
Scenario no. 3: Also with ONLY 30 minutes, our 2nd couture makeup was to create a 90's doll look. Using chromacake, boot black then lip pencil & lipgloss. It looks simply done but oooooh that skateboard-like-shaped eyeliner was the hardest!
Last masterclass, James did a demo on male makeup. Thanks lots, now we're able to break our habits & try new tips & techniques.
The general feeling for male makeup is "Less is More".
That's the end of the workshop with James Molloy. It's been a great experience. I hope to upload more masterclass videos... Til the next blog entry.
Xoxo, Sara Jaz.
