'Beauty' Workshop
This morning, Joyce and I attended a 'Beauty' workshop at California Fitness. Well basically, they collaborated with Loreal and Redken to conduct this free workshop, and to promote their products and services.
We had a light tea reception before the workshop commenced. It started with the Loreal makeover session. The key take away is that there are 3 main skin tones: warm, neutral, cool. Foundation is not = base = moisturiser. When putting on liquid foundation, do not dab the dots on the different corners of the face as it will dry by the time you get to the last dot and may leave a patch. When putting powder/blusher, it has to be in a circular and outward direction so as not to clog pores. Putting a blusher/eyeshadow alone without a base/foundation may cause blemishes in a long run as they get absorbed into the skin.
For the haircare talk, it was just basic introduction of their different haircare products which are available only in the salon. And one thing to note is that when it is a shampoo for the hair, do not use it on the scalp. It is also important to get water soluble products so that the chemicals do not build on your hair. (Joyce, bring a brolly :) ) Hair loss is most of the time related to hormonal changes and is best to seek medical advise. And to test if your scalp is healthy, put your 10 fingers on your scalp and massage your head. If the head of hairs moved with each movement, it means you have a healthy scalp. If it doesn't move, you may want to go to one of those Redken salons to do a scalp analysis to determine the scalp problem.
After the talk, there was a demo ABT session which we did not participate. The whole event lasted about 2.5 hrs. Well, I guess we gained some knowledge in the session, even though it may be a sales talk!
