Guests were submerged into a world of colour, candy, pamper stations and spoils. In addition to this, Alila threw Pravda Vodka into the mix to add a little extra kick to this dazzling event. The Pravda Vodka team conceptualised two delicious signature cocktails that were created especially for guests to enjoy at this launch.

HowTo: Contour & Highlight (Make-Up)

While it used to be a make-up secret of celebrity makeup artists to make cheekbones pop and skin glow, the trick to highlighting and contouring  are now common knowledge.

If you were blessed with naturally chiseled cheekbones and a structured jaw line, then lucky you.  
But for those of who need a little sculpting in that department, let this step-by-step map be your guide to a flawless look.

The first step to creating a sculpted face, is knowing where to contour.  It's the one thing you can add to your daily routine that  will make a huge difference.

1. Use a foundation 2 shades lighter than your skin tone to highlight. For contouring use a low or non-shimmer bronzer.  Set with powder

2. HIGHLIGHTING

• Highlight the bridge of your nose to lighten the  face, avoid the tip.
• Between the brows where a furrow may appear.
• Then under the eyebrow arch to lift the brow and brighten the eyes.
• On the high point of the cheekbones to define the cheek.
• Highlight creases that create shadows such as in the nasal fold area.

3. CONTOURING

• Contour on each side of the nose to make it look more slim and defined.
• On the tip of the nose in a V shape to shorten the length.
• Under the jaw line to add definition and slim the face.
• Around the hairline to warm the face and shorten the forehead.
• Then one inch above the temple to add depth to the face.
• Contour the underside of the cheekbone to strengthen your bone structure.

Highlighting and Contouring your face correctly enhances your natural bone structure, giving you a defined yet 
natural finish that's  ideal for any outing.

KarlaBeauty: "The Beauty of Plum" - Look #01

Welcome to my first post of the latest chapter on Kalala Fashion "Karla, It's in the Beauty."

After months of readers asking me to post tips and the products I use on my face, make-up and all that beauty related things, I decided to start this new chapter on Kalala Fashion.

These two products I apply with this brush (as shown in picture below). Whatever you use to apply your foundation is all up to you, some uses a sponge & some a brush. (just don't use your fingers to apply..)

Tip: Make sure you apply the right color of foundation on your skin, you don't want to look like an alien in your photos...

Here is the brushes I like using when apply my makeup (from left);

1. The pink brush I like using when applying my blusher & when a little eyeshadow fell on my cheeks while I was busy applying it. (to brush it off)

3. This brush I use to comb my eyebrows and to shape them, so they look neat and tidy.
