Break Time Office to Office with Women Radio and Amaranthine

Going to office with gaudy makeup? This could be a disaster! For active women, fresh look with natural makeup is obviously an important part of the daily appearance. Well, to avoid confidence crisis, Women Radio invited Fortuners to learn directly from the experts in the beauty class with Amaranthine cosmetic products, on Tuesday, November 19, 2013 in Agus Salim room, Gedung Galaktika.

Equipped with dozens of complete sets of cosmetic kits, no less than thirty female Fortuners participated in the beauty class. In addition to Amaranthine’s explanation on makeup tips, Fortuners could also do some practice on the spot. Great! This moment was also used by the participating Fortuners to experiment with the various color cosmetics from Amaranthine.

That afternoon, Ilham Bentang, Makeup Artist from Amaranthine, came to guide and demonstrate the correct way of applying cosmetics with Diandara (Graphic Designer of DId team), one of the participants who looked most enthusiastic. Sitting in front of a full set of cosmetic kits, the participants seemed to listen to Ilham enthusiastically while directly practicing the material presented.

“The first thing to keep in mind by all women is that the face has to be in clean condition when we start using cosmetics. So, first wash your face with cleanser or toner with upward motion. Including forehead and neck,” said Ilham.  The next step is to apply the foundation with downward motion, followed by applying the loose powder. Tips for dark skin, use beige foundation. Use glow and soft beige for brown skin, and natural, ivory, or pink color for white skin.

If the powder color has been evenly applied, then we can continue to eye makeup. Begin applying the eye shadow over your lid and into your crease, followed by eye liner and mascara. “Before lining the eyes with the eyeliner, use eyelash curler first so your eyes will have a curly lash look. But, what women should not overlook is to clean the eyelash curler first from the remnants of mascara. Because the mascara remnants will make your lashes so attached and fall off,” explained Ilham.

For small eyes, Ilham suggested, eyeliner should be applied at the inner part of the upper lash line, and one-quarter to one-half of inner part of lower lash line. For big eyes, eyeliner would look more beautiful when applied on the outer part of the upper lash line. “Applying eyeliner to both kinds of eyes is similar, i.e. from inner corner to the outer,” he said.

Once done with the eyes, the makeup can be continued to the cheek. Do the shading of the area around the ear down to the cheekbone area, then apply blush on the cheek area. “The last is lip makeup. Use the lipstick that matches the color of the lips and skin,” said Ilham.

In response to the event, Lydia Astuti, Promotion Manager of PT Pesona Amaranthine/Amaranthine Cosmetic expressed her delight. “It was nice to share the joy with Fortuners. Going out of this room, they will have enough insight regarding natural cosmetics and makeup that is particularly relevant with the character of active and dynamic women workers.  Currently, there are many types of cosmetic products on the market ranging from the cheap, expensive, imported, and exported. So, find one that suits the skin and tropical climate, is safe, and most importantly is halal,” said Lydia.

Aya, so Diandara is called, was no less enthusiastic. “I think this event is unique and exciting, it took advantage of the lunch break to gather together. In addition to having lunch together, we also gain really useful knowledge on how to use makeup appropriately and correctly, especially light makeup tips for the office,” she concluded.
