CLEO (PUPA) Makeup Session by Andy Lee

Last Sunday, I attended CLEO (PUPA) makeup session by the renowned Celebrity Makeup Artist, Andy Lee. I had registered for this event through sms, and received an email from CLEO that I was able to attend. It wasn't a private event and those who happened to be shopping at The Heerens, were able to enjoy this makeup session as well.

CLEO readers who registered for this event. Spot me (;

He was super focused in doing the makeup for the model, see the serious look on his face (:

Andy Lee, with the model of the day.

After the makeup session ended, it was time for yummy makeup food hahas xD There was a CLEO goodie bag as well as a PUPA black eyeliner given to us. I didn't buy any makeup in the end though there was 10% discount promotion going on. Too crowded at the makeup counter and there were only a few PUPA assistants. Since nobody attended to me, I might as well buy on another day right (;

Btw, credits to PUPA Sg FB Fanpage for the photos above. You can check out the rest of the event photos by clicking the link.

Throughout the event, we got to test out some of PUPA makeup products.

This is how PUPA Smoothing Foundation Primer 01 Transparent looks like. The texture feels pretty similar to Sephora Smoothing Primer, and the skin feels really smooth after application. According to Andy Lee, the primer acts as a stocking for our skin so that our skin looks smooth and flawless. He advocates against using too much foundation due to Singapore's hot & humid weather. It is not a pretty sight to see our makeup "crack" and melt, yes ? Makeup base/primer is best recommended to correct the imperfections, with minimal use of foundation.

Product description (website):

To make skin even and smooth, for a real "silk effect".
Fine lines are minimized, as if they were "filled", the face skin is as smooth as silk.
The texture is smooth and evanescent and blends perfectly with face skin, turning into a natural, matt effect face powder with a long lasting hold.

It creates the perfect light and comfortable base to apply make-up, making the skin soft and smooth.
The reticular micro-structure, enriched with vitamin E, relaxes skin texture without giving that clogging feeling: face looks relaxed and fresh, the skin breathes.
Airless dispenser tube.

Comes in 2 other versions: 02 Green (correct redness), 03 Violet (correct yellow skin).

PUPA Luminys Baked Blush. Swatches of some of the colors. Pretty right ? The color pigmentation is pretty good I would say. I especially like the rose shade in the middle.

Product description (website):

Gives cheeks a glow with a natural, adjustable effect for a radiant, healthy-looking effect.

This light, silky powder has perfect hold and can be blended in with ease.
Contains jojoba oil with hydrating, protective action for skin that's never dry.

The production technology behind baked products ensures: optimal softness to the touch, maximum effect when applied and maximum hold.

Andy Lee shared a makeup tip on how to apply blusher. His tip is different from Niu Er's. Firstly, use a brush sweep flat on the blush to pick up the color gently. Place brush flat on face and sweep the color on the cheeks gently. This way, the color is distributed evenly on the cheeks, imparting a natural flush.

PUPA Luminys Baked Eyeshadow. This is my favourite, followed by the blush. The brown swatch on the left was applied wet, see the intensity & pearlescent effect ! The light pink swatch is super gorgeous, yes ?

Product description (website):

An extraordinary result thanks to its advanced oven baking technology that enhances all properties of colour, ensuring maximum performance in application and hold.
Luminys baked Eyeshadow is a concentrate of pigments and precious pearls, which can be used either wet or dry, to find the desired intensity. Use it dry for a delicate and bright result, and wet for an intense and pearly effect. Vibrant colours and spectacular effects for surprising, seductive and hypnotizing eyes.

The result? An impeccable make-up.

Hypo-allergenic and ophtalmologically tested.

PUPA Glitter Eyeliner. IMO, this is quite average. Hmm I like the dark blue color though. Should I get it ? I really wonder about the long last part..

Magic sensuality to your eyes!
A special eyeliner pencil with full colours and spectacular silver glitters.
Bright, long lasting result.

This is me, with minimal makeup after more than 6 hours. Looking alright, yes ? Anyway, I pat on Bio-essence Bio Platinum BB Cream, followed by Kevin Beautymaker Tranexamic Acid Whitening Pressed Powder no.3 Natural. I lightly brushed on Shu Uemura Glow On Blush P Peach 40. ZA Plumper Lips 01 Ruby Dazzle on my lips (I touched up for this only).

For eye makeup, no eyeshadow, just Stage Broadway Brown eyeliner and L'oreal Black Voluminous Waterproof Mascara.
