I was running late for my morning class today and so I decided to let my lashes take a break – I went without the mascara.
My everyday makeup routine consist of sunscreen, loose powder, tinted eye essence, blush, eyeliner plus mascara. Oh ya, and my brows. I often forget to draw brows.
I try to keep everything at minimal level.
Since I didnt have time to curl and coat my lashes today, I took heavier strokes on the eyeliner.
Using an eyeliner pencil, I drew a line on the upper lid and extended out. Next, I lined 1/3 of the lower lid (outer corner) and thicken at the most outer corner.
This helps to define the eyes. You can draw a full lower eye line if you want a more dramatic look, which I supposed it’s too much for school.
Still looking fresh and sharp without mascara or falsies! =)
I attended the movie preview of Love Cuts over the weekend, made possible by omy blog club.
Initially, when I learnt about the movie before the trailers were out, I was wondering how much can they do on the theme – “breast cancer”.
I caught the trailer on TV unintentionally (I was drawn to it by the “天天想你” music) and it totally changed my perception. I was pretty much looking forward to the screenings. The trailer itself had triggered some emotions.
The film shared about how Cecilia, a seamstress in her 40s, married with 2 kids fight against breast cancer.
I was impressed with several aspects of the movie. Firstly, conversions between Sissy and her husband were in Cantonese. How rare is it to hear Zoe speaking in Cantonese! And she did a good job.
Secondly, kudos to the fashion stylist. I think Zoe’s outfits portrayed her character perfectly. Love her scarfs~ and how more fashionable can the son be!
Thirdly, the makeup aspect. It was impressive on the effects of the chemotherapy. Losing hair, weight loss and getting weaker after each session are exactly what cancer patients have to face. Seeing these scenes made me thought of a friend who unfortunately has to go through chemotherapy.
I teared several times and those scenes were truly touching, especially when Kristie revealed to Cecilia on her condition and when Wai Mun broke down in tears at the ending.
The only part that I didn’t like about the movie was how the storyline developed. I felt the interactions between Cecilia and Kristie can have put forward more clearly.
Anyway, I would strongly recommend everyone to catch it, even guys! Kelvin enjoyed the movie as well. This is not just a film about breast cancer, it’s about family love, about what cancer patients go through. And we have show some support for local production and Zoe Tay!
