There were moments of highs and lows, but love surrounded us throughout. All photos by Shahnaz Bahar - raw & unedited.

Old Age Make-up

These are examples of old age make-up you can achieve using old age stipple. It was a beauty shoot for a cosmetics company to show wrinkles on the face and not so much the ageing, hence I left the eyebrows and eye make-up as it was before the wrinkly make-up shots.

The tricky bit with old age stippling on young skin is the wrinkles won't be as obviuos. Stippling for old age is a process of stretching the skin and applying liquid latex. The skin needs to be stretched until the latex is dried and then powdered over, before the skin is released. This process can be repeated several times to achieve the desired wrinkle effects. The result will enhance the appearance of old age, although not so much on younger skin. In order to achieve proper old age skin effects a whole different process of old age prosthetics is used. This however can take several weeks as the model's face need to be casted and the cast will be filled with foam latex or sillicone which will be sculpted according to the character's age - think Benjamin Button. The prosthetics that are ready will then be applied using adhesives and then coloured with alcohol based make-up. Age spots, thinning hair, sunken eyes, sagging skin and old teeth are all part of making the prosthetics effects look as realistic as possible.

Shooting Antoine

Another fun day of shooting with Bibo and Antoine despite the rain that morning. We still managed to capture great photos with Antoine who's always accommodating and versatile, before he left Malaysia back to his native land, France.

Chic Yamada Presents Spring Summer 2011 at Thirst

It was exciting to be part of Chic Yamada's first ever fashion show at Thirst presenting Godskitchen Boombox on the 4th of December held at the Sepang International Circuit. Backstage, things were going full force early on with the models, make-up artists from MAC, hairstylist and Facekraft team getting their efforts together for the big show.

The models strut down the catwalk to DJ Goldfish and Blink's bouncing set in their bohemian and classy apparels. The bohemian collection showcased fun, colourful, printed satin and chiffon fabrics while the classic collection had a mix of pastel lycras, 60s glam inspired flowy dresses with hourglass silhouettes and longer hemlines.

The facekraft team complimented the outfits, bright coloured eye make-up and big hair with hand tattoo art inspired by flowers, ribbons and not to forget, the red Heineken star. The fuschia and red roses were airbrushed using stencils, so were the neon green leaves and red star, while the ribbons were prettily painted freehand by Eunice. The most time-consuming task was outlining the whole arm tattoo design in black to make it stand out. Overall, I was extremely happy that the tattoos came out so beautifully thanks to my dedicated team ;-)

These photos were taken before and during the show. What fun!

note : 2 of the photos were 'stolen' from Chic Yamada ;-p
