Korean Laneige Makeover Session


星期六一早,我参加了在Bugis Junction举行的Laneige化妆拍照活动。本活动费用为S$80,但全部可以用来买产品,因为事先听一位朋友说起她家的Water Sleeping Mask很好用,她在飞机上买的,是S$40,我本来也想趁去中国的时候在机场购买,但既然有这个活动,想不如一起就办了。(我买了一瓶Water Sleeping Mask S$45 和一把用来刷液态粉底的刷子S$44, 经使用后感觉刷子很好用) 于是定了星期六11点的appointment。是由那位专程从韩国飞来的化妆师亲自为我化妆。他是位典型的韩国帅哥,为人非常亲切,虽然语言不通,需要翻译,但也能感觉到他是位非常敬业的人。当我告诉他我希望他能帮我化成宣传画上宋蕙荞的样子,你还别说,经韩国人这么一化,我觉得自己也有几分酷似韩国人了。
接下来就是摆成宋的那个经典姿势,这还真的有点难度,摄影师教了我好长时间,总算差不多了。不过努力也算没白费,据朋友说效果还不错。比前两次的要好一些。

Last Sat morning, I went to the
Laneige Makeover Session at Bugis Junction. It cost S$80, but was fully redeemable. I heard from my friend that their water sleeping mask was very good. She bought one on the airplane which cost $40. I thought of buying it at the airport when I go to China next time. Since there’s a chance here, I thought it would not be a bad idea to join this workshop since I wanted to try their product. In the end, I bought a water sleeping mask (S$45) and a brush for liquid foundation (S$44). I have tried both. I didn’t care for the mask too much, but the brush is quite good. I made an appointment at 11am. In fact I was the first customer. It was done by a Korean makeup artist, who purposely
flew over from Seoul for this event. He’s a typical Korean man. I told him I wanted to look like Sung Hye Kyo. Although we couldn’t understand each other, he assured me using his "ok" gesture. After his work, I felt I really looked a bit like a Korean.
Then came the photo shooting. The photographer was a young girl. I told her I wanted to look like Sung in the poster there. It took us a long time to get the closer shot. Basically, it was because I was a bit slow. But it was worth it. My friend later told me it was a good job after she saw it.

Photo Editing / 编辑照片

昨天在网上浏览时,偶然发现了一个很有趣的网页,它可以帮我们编辑照片,如加相框啦,写字啦,涂鸦啦,装饰啦等等,我最喜欢的还是特效,有柔光,锐化,影楼,LOMO, 反转片,日系,哥特,复古,黄昏,黑白,彩虹渐变,冷色渐变,毛玻璃,油画,素描等15种。非常有趣。你不妨也来试试?


Yesterday when I was surfing internet, I found a very interesting site. It can help us to edit our photos by just one single click! Sounds wonderful right? It can add all sorts of frames, words, graffiti etc. But the best thing that i love is the special effects. It includes 15 special effects, like soft focus, sharpen effect, studio effect, LOMO, reversal film, Japanese style, Gothic style, retro effect, dusk effect, black & white, rainbow gradients effect, cool gradients effect, frosted glass effect, painting effect and sketch. The problem is after editing, it will lose its resolution severely. It’s quite fun. Try it!
