BCL Malaysia

I usually blogged on food and this will be my very first blog on makeup. Last Sunday, I actually went to this BCL Malaysia makeup workshop at Uptown with my sister. It started around 10.45am and ended at 12.30pm. Thanks to BCL Malaysia for inviting my sister to their workshop and thanks to my sister for bringing me as well. Is a great experience though. Their makeup master came all the way from Japan to teach us. Special thanks to Mr. Takara Hiroki. 

Let me introduce you to BCL first. BCL actually stand for Beauty Creative Lab. Is actually a Japanese company. They offered a wide range of products from foundation to eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, cleanser and many more! 

Actually I am suck in makeup and I don't really makeup. In fact, knowing how to makeup is really important especially when you need to attend event that time. This is really undeniable and I really think that we must at least know some basic makeup. Just that I am a little too lazy to learn about it. So, last Sunday was actually a great opportunity for me.

So, I am going to share with you what I have learned so far. Is going to be a six steps process.

Step 1: Makeup Base.

-Of course, the very first thing you need to do is put up your makeup base or foundation. The key here is not to put too much makeup base/foundation at the edge of your face so that you wouldn't look so unnatural.

01 Natural Ocher (Left) / 02 Light Ocher (Right)

So, this was the one we used that day. This one is actually a new product and it comes with 2 different colours.

And this is how it looks like when it is opened up.

Clearlast Face Powder High Cover 
Mat Ocher / Shiro Hada (White and Glowy) Ocher

And these two are the existing products. It can be used after makeup base/foundation or directly used as foundation. It contains seven different types of micro powders to cover up pores and dullness. It also provide UV protection up to SPF 23 besides resist to sweat and sebum. On top of that, they also provide moisture to your skin and maximize the absorption of makeup leading to a smoother and shinier skin.

Step 2: Eyebrow

-The next thing you need to do is draw your eyebrow. First, draw your whole eyebrow with the pencil and then draw the end part with the liquid type.

Browlash EX W Eyebrow Pencil and Liquid
(Grayish Brown - Left / Natural Brown - Right)

So this is actually a double headed eyebrow product. It resists water, sebum and perspiration for 24 hours. One side is pencil and the other side is liquid. The pencil part is flexible enough to allow you to draw either thin or thick line and thus it is suitable to draw the whole eyebrow. The liquid part on the other hand help to draw accurate lines with its fine brush and hence it is more suitable to draw the end part of your eyebrows.

For your information, they are going introduce a new item called Browlash EX W Eyebrow Gel Pencil & Powder which is going to be available in two colours namely natural brown and light brown.

Step 3: Eye Shadow

-Next you need to apply your eye shadow. First of all, draw a line on the upper lash line and then gently smudge it to create soft smokey eye. You can also draw a line on the lower lash line for cute drooping eyes.

(Bronze Brown - Left / Light Brown - Right)  
RM49.90 each

So, you can actually use this, the Gradation Shadow Liner to apply your eye shadow. The good thing here is this Gradation Shadow Liner can act as both eye shadow and eyeliner. So good huh?? Got multifunction somemore! You know right Asian's eyes are usually quite small like my eyes as well. No offence. So their soft and flexible tip can actually help to make your eyes look bigger. Another good thing is they are waterproof!

Step 4: Eyeliner

-Next is eyeliner. Eyeliner will definitely make your eyes look bigger.

Browlash EX Slim Gel Pencil - (Deep Black/Deep Brown) - Right 
(New Release) 

The one on the left which is Browlash EX Water Strong Liner is actually an existing product and is available in deep black colour only. While the one on the right is actually a new product called Browlash EX Slim Gel Pencil which is available in two colours namely deep black and deep brown. As what I know, deep black can actually make your eyes look bigger. But, somehow I think that the deep brown eyeliner look more suitable and natural for me.

 Browlash EX Water Strong Liner (Deep Black) - Right

So, here you can have a clearer picture on the differences between that two in terms of their tip and colour. The Water Strong Liner allows drawing of both fine and thick lines with ease of control making it easier to draw especially for the beginner like me. While the Slim Gel Pencil with their ultra-fine 2mm core make it easier to draw the eyeliner firmly right to the edge of the eyes and the colour can goes on beautifully even between the lashes as well as the corner of the eyes.

Step 5: Mascara

-The next thing is apply mascara. In fact, I think mascara is very important. I know most of the girls, they actually put mascara even they don't makeup. This is because mascara really help in making your lashes look more longer, thicker and more curl as well which is prettier lah in short. Lol. So how to apply?? First of all, put the brush on top of your upper lashes and then put the brush on the base of your lashes and apply the mascara by raising the lashes. Put additional coats to make them look denser.

Perfect Mascara & Eyeliner - New Release (RM69.90)

Again, this have multifunction where it can act as both mascara and eyeliner. The good thing is this is waterproof and their super fine brush actually help to separate and apply mascara to each strand of lashes evenly!

Volume Lash Fiber Mascara

So, how about this?? What is their benefit?? The best part of this Volume Lash Fiber Mascara is that it help to increase the volume with just a single application.

Washable WP Mascara - Middle (Coming Soon)

Finally, the Washable WP Mascara is waterproof but they are washable with warm water. Be patient!! This is coming soon.

Step 6: Lip & Cheek

Last but not least, your lips and cheek!! So, BCL do offer Makemania Data Essence Rouge Gloss, Makemania Curvy Lip Silicone and Puregram 4 Colors Brush Cheek but the bad thing is they are not available in Malaysia. Maybe you need to go Japan to buy it. Haha.

Baby Smooth Skin Clear Peeling Gel

Oh ya, this is the Baby Smooth Skin Clear Peeling Gel, Face Wash and Cleasing oil. All these are coming soon. They are releasing very soon. So, be patient!! Thanks to BCL Malaysia for giving all of us one bottle of this Baby Smooth Skin Clear Peeling Gel.

 So, this is Mr. Takara Hiroki who actually came all the way from Japan to teach us makeup.  

And this is Mr. Takara Hiroki and his model of the day Miss Jen.

This is Jen before makeup. Starting very soon!!

Before this, let me show you some tester first.

 So, here you go another close up shot of some of the tester.

So, this is Jen showing us her eye makeup. She is so nice, friendly and pretty. She is very cooperative as well. She actually walked around for us to take picture so that we can blogged about it. Thanks Jen!

Finally, let me tell you something. You know what is the current trend in Japan?? Guess what!! Is eye bags!! Yes, you are right!! You never see wrongly nor I taip wrongly. This is according to Mr. Takara Hiroki. Last time what people always do is use makeup to cover up their flaws like eye bags but right now what people do is makeup to make them have eye bags. I know this is funny. The reason why they do so is because with eye bags, they actually look more innocent which guys will like it so much lah. So, the good thing is no not need to hide your eye bags anymore. Is a trend man!! Take it as your advantage.

Can you see what he is doing?? He is actually adding the eye bags on Jen.

So, this is the final photo of Jen. Mr. Hiroki actually demonstrated two different types of makeup styles on Jen's face. One is Cool Beauty which is more to a defined and mature look and the other one is Japanese Idol which more to supernatural look. Can you see the difference between Jen's right and left face?? Pretty right??

Finally, this is me!! My first attempt with the help of my sister and Mr. Hiroki. Anyway, is a very light makeup only.

Hope you guys enjoy my very first blog on makeup and correct me if there is anything wrong. Lastly, thumbs up to the team. They did a very good job!
