Vincent Oquendo creates 3 long-lasting makeup looks for 3 Malaysian personalities

If there’s one thing we all wish for when it comes to our makeup (no matter the occasion), it’s that it would last all day—or all night—long. In Malaysia, that situation may be a little tricky no thanks to our sweltering weather but with Shiseido’s Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing collection, you can throw that worry out the window. After all, its ActiveForce technology uses sweat and perspiration to work even harder and give you that “just applied” look all day long.

Below, Shiseido’s North America Color Artist Vincent Oquendo shows us how it’s done by creating three different makeup looks for three Malaysian personalities – Jessica Chaw, Juliana Evans and Fyza Kadir. One thing these looks have in common? Even if your date goes on a little longer, if that work event lasts an extra hour, or if that party turns into an after-party; your makeup is going to stay put and look fresher as the hours go by.

Jessica’s Date Night Look

For this look, Vincent gave Jessica a soft, rosy glow and his top tips to nailing this look are:

1.     Swipe two concealer shades on your cheek next to one another. This way, you can compare both tones side by side and select the one that seamlessly blends into your skin tone.

2.     Apply the Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Cushion Compact starting from the chin and blend outwards. PS: Don’t forget the neck!

3.     The Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Concealer also doubles as an eyeshadow base, which Vincent used on Jessica’s eyelids.

4.     To keep the glowy look throughout, Vincent applied the Minimalist Whipped Powder Blush on her eyelids as well.

Get Jessica’s look:

  • Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Concealer in 203 Light
  • Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Cushion Compact in 230 Alder
  • Minimalist Whipped Powder Blush in 01 Sonoya

  • Synchro Skin Invisible Silk Loose Powder

Juliana’s Office Look

Instead of a harsh cat-eye look, Vincent gave Juliana a subtle winged-eye in a brown palette that’s office-appropriate. Ace this 9-to-5 look with Vincent’s pro tips:

1.     Prep and prime the skin with the Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Cushion Compact, which won’t crease or cake in Malaysia’s humid weather.

2.     Chin up when you apply the Microliner Ink and make small back and forth movements.

3.     Blend, blend, blend. Avoid harsh graphic lines by continuously blending the formula together.

4.     Seal everything in with the Synchro Skin Invisible Silk Pressed Powder to ensure your look lasts all day.

Fyza’s Party Look

For Fyza’s bold night-time look, Vincent switched things up by reversing the eye and skin makeup application. Copy this strong look with Vincent’s pro tips:

1.     Apply the coloured liner and eyeshadow first before foundation. To create a furry lash effect later on, glide the kajal liner as close as possible to the lash line.

2.     Clean up any eyeshadow excess or fall out with cleansing water and a Q tip.

3.     After the eye makeup is done, buff the Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Foundation all over the skin for a flawless finish.

4.     Dab the Synchro Skin Self-Refreshing Concealer into the skin using the back end of the Daiya Fude brush for a soft-focus effect.
