Sergio Rossi collaborates with his muse, Bianca Brandolini

dAdda, and imbues into its Autumn-Winter collection Italian womens

individualities and charm, in a naturally elegant style thats all Biana.

Modern details can be seen in the classic feminine silhouette. The colour

palette is mainly dark grey and deep red, married with shiny elements to

make the style pop. On the other hand, the contrast of black and white,

and the use of metallic leather, accentuate the tough and mysterious side

of women. The lace-up design, applied in short boots, heels or above-

knee boots, shows off feminine charm to the fullest.

The brands muse, Bianca Brandolini dAdda, seduces with feminine charm in the various lace-up designs in the Autumn-Winter advertising campaign.

Readers who have seen the movie Helios may

find the plot a bit lacking in suspense. They may

also think that Nick and Jacky Cheung worked a

bit too hard trying to upstage one another. But all

would agree they demonstrated some amazing

martial arts skills.

Yet, who would have thought that a movie

featuring the top seven male screen idols from

China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Korea would be

highlighted by a Hong Kong lady as the female

lead? Her use of the classic MMA move -- the

scissor takedown to leglock the macho Nicky

Cheung -- and her other aggressive moves

reminiscent of the Black Widow in Marvel:

Avengers Alliance.

From the sad and weak girl in Nightfall, to the

vicious killer in Helios, Janice Man has successfully

shattered some significant stereotypes.

Helios really opened up a new theatrical

direction for me, says the 26-year-old model-

turned-actress. The role is tough, like me. I am

not at all weak with respect to my career. I am

not afraid to work, regardless of how hard it is. I

also acknowledge that I am very ambitious.

To be popular and successful is, of course, every

actresss dream, but how many are bold enough

to voice their dreams? Man is one such brave

soul. She has always demonstrated clear goals

and the determination never to call it quits.

It is so gratifying to see a dreamy teenage girl

from years past boldly step forward and realize

her dreams, utilizing her inner strength and not

needing to depend on any man!

Shooting a gun without batting an eyelid

Even when presented with good opportunities, many people

are unable to grab hold of them. Instead, they watch them slip

through their fingers. Not Janice Man.

As soon as she received the Helios script, she went into boot-

camp mode for six months. She kept training herself to believe that

there is no such thing as the best, but rather to do better every

day.

I follow a strict menu for all three meals each day to build up

my muscles, she says. Every morning, I run eight kilometres as

soon as I wake up to build endurance. Every day, I spend three to

four hours boxing, stretching and kicking to build a high level of

flexibility.

I needed to use my legs for locking a great deal. This role did

not have many lines, but was full of action. Even though I had a

stunt double, there were many risky scenes in which the face is

shown. I always request to do those myself.

AKfor

... ...12Janice ManEQ

As a killer, the gun is the weapon of choice, so Man had to train hard

to hone her shooting skills.

I remember the first time I went to practise at a shooting practice

room. It was a closed room. Every shot produced a loud explosive sound.

Even though I wore ear plugs, my ear drums still hurt. I was a bit afraid of

the gun in the beginning, but I knew I had to overcome the fear.

She practised two or three times a week, burning through money,

firing shot after shot.

The director asked her to use an AK-type heavy machine gun.

You know, carrying two cannons and going pop, pop. I thought I

couldnt handle it, so we switched to a pair of pikes, which are lighter in

comparison. For a delicate girl, I thought the pikes were rather cool.

Saving oneself with white flower oil

Even cooler was that Nick Cheung, the lead from Unbeatable, was

pounded by her superior martial-arts skills.

At first, the director said I was to have fight scenes with Nicky. I was

quite afraid. Nicky has quite a reputation as an action actor. How was I

to be his match? But Nicky was super-protective of me. He was instead

worried about hurting me, and told me not to hold back in my holds and

punches. Haha

After 12 years in the business, Man finally got this antagonist role and

the chance for audiences to view her differently. It is certainly true that

actors are often passively influenced by their circumstances.

I couldnt be too impatient, she says. I dont believe that you should

take every role. Yes, you can build your acting skills that way, but I would

rather choose to be in a TV series. That way, you work 15 hours a day,

and you learn everything quickly. Your EQ improves quickly.

From October 2014 to June 2015, Man was filming the period piece The

Legend of Zu in China. She says this was the most challenging experience of her

career.

Even in the heat of over 30 degrees Celsius, you are all wrapped up in these

ancient costumes. Every day I had to memorize 10 pages of Mandarin lines.

Then I was flying around on cables doing fight scenes, too. Once I experienced

heatstroke, yet continued to do the scenes with the help of putting white flower

oil on me. At that moment, I thought, If I survive this trial, I can do anything. In

contrast, working on movies is much more comfortable than working on TV series.

Many Hong Kong stars bring their own assistants when they work in China,

people who know their habits. However, Man insists on using local assistants, who

are familiar with local customs. She can also practise Mandarin at the same time.

She may seem delicate in appearance, but in terms of work, shes tougher than

nails.

Quality, not quantity: reputation more important

Man parted ways with Leon Lai (one of Hong Kongs Four Cantopop Heavenly

Kings) to form her own company a year ago. Suddenly, she was her own boss,

complete with many new responsibilities.

It was a very solid, very intense year. But it was a happy busy. Before,

someone else was managing, so I didnt have to bother with much. Now I need to

take care of many things, such as choosing a script, negotiating with directors, etc.

If I see something wrong with the plot, I bring it up proactively myself.

No one else knows my current condition better than myself. If I were an artist

working for a company, I might be working non-stop, show after show, just to make

money. But its different now. If I feel that I need time to refresh, I can call stop. Ive

been turning down some jobs in China. Of course, my team relies on me for their

compensation, but I am confident that I wont make the boss (Sun Entertainment

Culture Limited) lose money.

Man understands that if you keep working on shows without regard to quality,

you risk ruining your own reputation.

The market in China is different from Hong Kong. You can try different things

you havent tried before. It is not about how much you make. I want to see how I

can make my own career in a place that isnt my own.

Many people are happy to stay in their comfort zone, because they do not have

the courage to change. Janice Man is not one of them.

At first glance, this tailored black maxi looks unremarkable, but there is actually more to it. The dress is made from a fabric that combines velvet, crepe and leather - full of texture. But the style is too simple, and does not make a strong first impression.

interview


Taiwanese filmmaker Hou Xiao-yin

was named Best Director at the

2015 Cannes Film Festival for his

latest work, The Assassin.

Based on Tang dynasty legend Nie

Yin Niang, the movie is Hous first

martial-arts flick. Those who have

seen it invariably marvel at the

breathtaking beauty of each shot.

Every frame is like a painting. The

storyline, however, is deemed by

some as illusive and impenetrable as

the storys heroine.

Hous reaction? See it a few more

times if you dont get it the first

time!

This is typical of him, and he is the

same way with actors during filming.

After one take, he will do it again

if he feels its not right. But he

will never tell you what isnt right,

quipped Zhang Zhen. We can only

keep guessing.

Thats why we say Hou is true to

himself. If you want to understand

him or his work, you have to feel it

with your heart.

2005

rollcut

2003

Zhang Zhens character is brutal and hard-headed, a contrast to another actor Satoshi Tsumabuki, a sunny and youthful mirror polisher who gives Nie Yin Niang a way out.


Chinas ancient Ant Man?

Tang legend Nie Yin Niang is really a fantasy story. Nie, the

daughter of a man who worked for General Tian Jian based in Hebeis

Weibo in the Tang dynasty, was kidnapped by a Taoist nun at age 10

and trained to be an assassin before she was sent home. There are

plots in which Nie turns into a mosquito (Chinas version of Ant Man

perhaps?) or gives people magic potions as remedies.

When Hou gave me the original story to read, he didnt say how

he would change it, Xhang recalled. I thought he was going to do a

sci-fi story.

The duo was reunited for the first time since doing Three Times in

2005.

In the end, Hous version of Niez is rather down to earth she

doesnt transform from small to large size, though she can zip around

flying, in kind of a realistic way.

There were a fair bit of fighting scenes, Zhang said. Most of

them were rehearsed in the morning of the day of filming, and then we

kept fighting throughout the afternoon. He would make the smallest

corrections to the moves. It was hard work.

The storyline has been modified. General Tian (Zhang) is the cousin

of Nie (Shu Qi). They are betrothed to each other, but Tian marries

Lady Yuan (Zhou Yun) instead, in order to expand his power base. Nie

runs away to the mountains to train as an assassin with a Taoist nun.

When her training is completed, the very person the nun orders her to

kill is her former beau and cousin, Tian.

Just keep acting

The story of The Assassin reads a bit like a tale of love and

anguish in a royal court, reminiscent of Curse of the Golden Flower or

Empress Wu. Yet in Hous hands, the only thing that one can be sure

of is that there will be plenty of long shots.

When I worked with Hou for the first time 10 years ago on Three

Times, the script he gave us was like poems, Zhang said as Hou was

in another corner of the room for another interview. (We took a peek

to make sure Hou was focusing on the interview and didnt hear us.)

I couldnt get used to it. Its better this time. The script is more like a

script, but the way he directs is still the same -- very much like filming a

documentary.

The camera will be set up and begin to roll when we are getting

into our roles, and we will keep acting, not knowing when he will yell

Cut. LOL, we thought to ourselves, Is it done yet? Keep this to

yourself and dont let him hear this.

Zhang said Hou doesnt want actors to rehearse because he

wants an authentic feel. When actors get into positions, they do not

know what chemistry they will have with the other actors. This can

make even an experienced actor appear as green as normal people on

screen.

In A Rolling Record of the Filming of The Assassin, written by The

Assassins screenwriter Hsieh Hai-Meng, Zhang is said to try using a

different way to interpret Tian. It looks like hard work for him, but such

endless exploration may be the kind of fun that helps an actor discover

his own possibilities.

The aftertaste of living

I worked for the first time with Hsieh Hsin-Ying who plays beloved

concubine Huji, said Zhang. We did many takes for one scene. When

we thought it was done, Hou asked us to film it again months later in a

different setting.

He didnt say what was wrong with it. Having said that, it is

interesting to try to build rapport with the fellow actor or even the

director in the process. For my role, he only gave me lots and lots of

old Tang dynasty books to read. He said the character Tian Jian is

explosive, and then he left me to ponder.

In addition to Three Times and The Assassin, Hou and Zhang

worked together on the 2003 movie Coffee Jikou. Zhang fondly

remembers the closing shot of a railway junction near the river with

trains crisscrossing. Zhang thinks the shot is full of life force.

In the end, another train goes in. Its a really beautiful shot, and it

leaves a certain inexplicable aftertaste. This is what life is about.

That leads to the question: how will we savour Zhang Zhen years

later?

Zhang Zhen and concubine Huji (Hsieh Hsin-Ying) reshoot one scene, in which Zhang is furious when he finds out Nie is the assassin. The two have no dialogue in the shot, which lasts one to two minutes. Its a real test of the actors body language and rapport.

9Shu Qi has only nine lines in the entire movie, and is in search of herself her whole life: her own place and value in the world, and with her other half. This is a rare shot of her out of the assassin costumes, in a breathtaking landscape painting dress.

cut All characters in the movie seem repressed, bottling up a lot of grievances. There is a rare happy scene when Huji dances and General Tian Jian plays the drum. I only learned the drum for one month. The hardest part was we didnt know when Director Hou was going to call Cut, so I kept drumming away. Alas, much of the shot was cut.

years, Montblanc has launched a number of

products across multiple platforms, including

timepieces, leather goods and jewelry. The

talk of the town this year centres around their

TimeWalker Urban Speed e-Strap.

This season's focus on leather goods is the Meisterstuck

Selection Sfumato collection. For writing instruments, it's the

Luciano Pavarotti limited-edition collection from Patron des Art. For

timepieces, there is this year's new release SIHH and the long-

awaited TimeWalker Urban Speed e-Strap.

At Basel this year, we can see wearable technology creeping

into Swiss watches in various ways. One of the first is probably the

TimeWalker. E-Strap with an interchangeable strap and an integrated

technology device that offers an activity tracker, smart notifications,

remote controls and Find-Me functions.

Honestly, its usability is not exactly good. However, the real

significance of e-Strap is about old world meeting new technology,

and a brand's determination to be technologically relevant, adding

lucidity into monotone Black & White Weeks.

The more common three-day power reserve

watches can be bothersome, for its sometimes hard

to remember whether it was wound yesterday, or

the day before. So, one tends to wind it daily, just to

be on the safe side.

Certainly, there are plenty of timepieces with

even longer power reserves Chopards L.U.C

claims nine days, Blancpains Villeret has 12 days,

Vacheron Constantins Patrimony offers 14 days,

Jaeger LeCoultres Master Grande Tradition goes

for 15 days, A. Lange & Sohnes Lange 31 features

a whopping 31 days, and then Hublots MP-05

LaFerrari takes the cake by offering a record 50-day

power reserve.

Having said that, you cant have your cake

and eat it too. It takes a substantial barrel drum

(or drums) to sustain such massive power reserve.

What gives? It will have to be the size of the caliber

or functionalities. So it comes down to the balance

of having a watch of the right proportion offering a

right combination of functions, yet not a chore to

keep running. For that, we think eight-day power

reserve makes the most sense.

()

Eight days is, in fact, a good buffer. If the user fully winds

the watch at the start of the week, he can be assured it will

run for an entire week with no slippage. Seven-day power

reserve probably works just as well, but it still doesnt offer

the absolute peace of mind that it will work as precisely on

the last leg in the cycle.

Lange 3125mm1,850mm8-10Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari11

Panerai8Panerai2005P.20028848

The power for keeping a watch running comes from the tension

of winding the mainspring in the barrel drum, either through

hand-winding with the crown or, in the case of automatic watches,

through movement of the wrist to make the rotor pivot. When the

mainspring barrel is fully wound storing plenty of energy, the torque

is greater and naturally releasing greater forces. As time goes on,

the mainspring loosens, the torque lowers and the force reduces.

This is a challenge watchmakers have battled over the years.

Some designers have tried using fusee chains, or adding constant-

force mechanisms to keep the power continual. In the case of a

mainspring with a spiral of seven turns, it only takes four turns

daily to keep a watch running perfectly. The three extra turns are

for back up, in case the wearer forgets to wind the watch and the

residual power can keep it going for another 10 hours or so, albeit

less precisely.

The mechanism seems straightforward as long as the

mainspring is long, strong and flexible enough and the barrel

is large, then more power can be stored. What has flummoxed

watchmakers all these years, though, is how to maximize the

length of the mainspring and the number of drums within the

physical confines of a mechanism. After years of research, the

most adopted means is to lengthen the mainspring and connect a

number of barrels vertically or horizontally, directly or indirectly.

Lange 31, for example, has two vertical mainspring barrels,

each of a diameter of 25 millimetres that can accommodate a

mainspring of 1,850 millimetres. The length of two mainsprings

combined is eight to 10 times that of a traditional watch

mechanism. Hublot MP-05 LaFerrari has a staggering 11 barrels.

We narrow down the field today, and examine closely Officine

Panerais eight-day power reserve. Why Panerai? Because the

brands very first caliber P.2002, introduced in 2005, featured an

eight-day power reserve, an indication that the brand puts an

emphasis on this function. Interestingly, it has not stood still, and

the four watches featured here play with eight-day power reserves

in different ways.


The minimalistic dial etches 8 GIORNI BREVETTATO in lieu of an Arabic number at 3 oclock. This eight-day power reserve symbol first appeared in the Submersible collection that the brand produced for the Egyptian navy in the 1950s. It has appeared three times again since, in the classic PAM203, the retro 60-millimetre Big Egyptian PAM341 and the more recent Composite PAM339 brown ceramic. This is proof that the big logo has a certain appeal.

Opposite the logo at 9 oclock are small seconds. The hour markers assume a yellow tint, in subtle contrast against the white of the watch brand beneath 12 oclock. While the look is retro, this PAM590 isnt using the Angelus Calibre from bygone years, but features the brands pride and joy, P.5000.

The solid caseback doesnt show off the movement inside. Rather, it is engraved with the brands signature torpedo motif, another key selling point for the brand. Its also worth mentioning that the Luminor case of PAM590 is not 47 millimetres, but a smaller 44 millimetres. Is this, perhaps, a reflection of its classiness? ($9,400)

The linear display at 6 oclock is not an eight-day power reserve indicator. Thats right, as the star of the watch is the equation of time showing the difference between the mean time indicated by a watch and the true time indicated by the solar meridian. You have to look at the caseback to check power reserve through the needle indicator.

The brand launched the P.2002 hand-winding movement in 2005, inspired by the Angelus Calibre of the 1940s. It also paved the way for P.2003, P.2004, P.2005, P.9000, P.2006, P.3000, P.9100, P.9100R, and then last years P.4000 and P.5000. Thats more than we can count with our fingers. The P.2002/E in this watch is an extension of P.2002, and the E perhaps indicates the addition of the Equation of Time complication.

PAM516 uses 48-millimetre stainless steel Radiomir 1940 case. It features small seconds at 9 oclock, date aperture and month sub-dial at 3 oclock and power reserve of 192 hours.

Prior to 2012, people thought Panerai only had Radiomir and Luminor cases. Then the brand returned to its 1940s design and introduced the Radiomir 1940, blending the essence of the two cases. The earliest Panerai watches used the Radiomir case in the idiosyncratic cushion shape. In the interval of moving to the large-size Luminor, the Radiomir 1940 case appeared.

The earliest Radiomir 1940 used the OP XXVII movement. By 2013, the brand introduced more new creations featuring its own movements. This watch, which debuted in the 2013 Watches&Wonders, has the most complicated eight-day power reserve chronograph, powered by P.2004/10 skeletonized movement. It has three barrels and a power reserve linear indicator at 6 oclock. The PAM502 in a 45-millimetre rose gold case and brown dial is limited to 300 pieces. The PAM503 white gold version with S.L.C. dots for hour index on a black dial is a limited edition of 150 pieces. ($55,000)

The most budget-friendly of the eight-day power reserves in this story, this watch features a proprietary P.5000 movement born last year. Other than having two barrels and continuous gears producing power reserve for 192 hours in eight days, the mechanism also boasts superior stability and precision. It is stable because it is solidly made, with the parts sandwiched between two metal plates.

As to precision, we have to start with the balance wheel. The bridge supporting the wheel is fixed by two screws that can be turned to adjust the end shake of the balance staff pivots. Its period of oscillation is adjusted by turning the little timing screws on the outside of the balance wheel. The two features work together to ensure the escapement keeps running precisely even at shock.

P.5000 doesnt have a power indicator. Instead, it is marked 8 DAYS at 6 oclock and engraved EIGHT DAYS on the case back -- subtle, not brazen. The case in 316L stainless steel, measures 45 millimetres and is water resistant to 100 metres. ($9,100)

In his latest collection, Dries Van Noten draws

inspiration from his family and from Asian and

Indian tribes, marrying familiarity and exoticism

with an experts touch.

In recent years, reversible clothing has not enjoyed

much popularity. However, it has not completely

disappeared from the stage. Almost every Autumn-Winter

season, someone has come up with some reversible design.

This year it is DVNs turn to offer its take on the reversible.

By virtue of its name, both sides of a reversible jacket

can be worn on the outside. But honestly, one of the

sides often looks better, so the other side is seldom

seen. This time, Van Noten has designed a long wool

jacket, with a straight collar full of buttons very

formal looking. Once the jacket is reversed, it is totally

different. Using tri-coloured satin as lining and the

trademark sparkling fabric of DVN, the jacket features

a quilted upper layer with embroidered patterns, with

a feel that is similar to the Chinese lacquered jacket.

There are a few flowing ties, giving even more interest

to this reversed side.

The reverse side also showcases impeccable

craftsmanship. In the reversible jacket family, not only is

there the single-coloured Mao jacket, but also other styles

01Navy blue cotton sweater with tribal print quilted sleeve 02Multicolour plaid wool bomber jacket with grosgrain stripe 03Multicolour plaid wool pants with kilt overlay 04Black and navy wool tribal jacquard sweater 05Black quilted wool-cotton blazer

such as ethnic prints and zippered jackets. Each one

offers surprises to the customer.

The mens collection matches well with this seasons

womens collection. The collections main theme is ethnic

prints. As a fashion designer and not an ethnic costume

designer, DVN cleverly selects muted colours as opposed

to the traditional happy, bright colours of tribal dress. To add

colour, he expertly added patterns to the menswear.

For formal wear, there is the ethnic robe and shirt.

For a wilder look, there is the long vest with fur collar.

For a casual look, there is the patchwork blouson, plus

T-shirt and shorts. Even the backpack radiates tribal

exoticism, completing the whole look.

This series of ethnic prints follows two main trends

floral and totem. Even though the two patterns seem

to be from different ethnic groups, DVN has carefully used

matching colours that are close relatives. So although the

florals sometimes clashed with the totems, the walkway

presentation did nothing but ignite creative sparks all over.

Thom BrowneThe odd one

Thom Browne

New York Suit

Thom Browne

Thom Browne is, no doubt, the contemporary

authority on suits. Not only does he walk the walk by

constantly sporting the same grey suit, but he also has

contemporized his suit lines to make them resonate with

the youthful set. More than just having a suit as the focus

of every collection, he has been wearing the same grey

New York Suit every day. Each piece of this particular suit

line is hand-made in New York and hence carries a price

tag several times that of regular suits.

People buy them because of me, Browne boasts.

Hes not bragging. This is not the first time he has put himself up as

the brands front man. When the brand was first launched in 2001, Brown

got New York tailors to sew five sets of the same suit to be worn day in,

day out: wherever he goes. Soon, friends and strangers alike took notice,

and this paved the way for him to set up his own workshop.

The brand has grown much larger since, and Browne still sticks to

wearing the same suit -- so much so that the grey suit has become his

signature.

I think suits are classic designs, says Browne. A set of well-made suits

can underscore the wearers class. Suits should be appreciated by men and

women alike. As long as its well made, it can be worn every day.

Be that as it may, not every man is into his designs characterized by

a slim fit with broad shoulders and a shrunken look. The jacket extends

to just above the waistline and the pants stretch only to above the

ankle, exposing short socks. Critics say his suits are strange and out of

proportion, but he couldnt care less.

Thom Browne visits Hong Kong to unveil the latest 2016 Spring-Summer collection, a tribute to the Japanese culture and artistry, incorporating the essence of kimonos and Japanese embroidery into suits.

Each suit is embroidered with classic Japanese patterns, with exceptional details down to connecting the patterns on every piece to form a full picture -- from the jacket, to the vest, to the pants.

It is not a design for everybody, and I accept

that there are people who dont like it, but those

who do will appreciate its oddness, he said.

Indeed, his suits have found fans among

young people. Browne believes he has redefined

classic suits and made old fuddy-duddy suits hip

and fun so that young people are happy to wear

them.

With the exception of Brownes signature

New York Suit, the brands suits are always made

in Japan, for Browne appreciates the Japanese doggedness for detail. The

latest 2016 Spring-Summer collection is a tribute to the Japanese culture

and artistry, incorporating classic elements of kimonos, embroideries and

wooden clogs.

I admire the Japanese peoples passion towards life, Browne says.

Whatever they do, they care about details. That way, you are assured that

the things they make are of the highest quality. You cant find this elsewhere.

Thats why this collection is a tribute to Japan. Each garment is a revelation

of the Japanese peoples impeccable artistry and deep heritage.

Despite being a fan of Japanese craftsmanship, he is wearing

something made not in Japan, but by New York tailor Rocco Ciccarelli. He

has stuck with him since Day 1.

Its difficult to find a classic tailor willing to make non-classic suits,

but Rocco Ciccarelli accepts my innovative ideas and makes what I want,

though he must have rolled his eyes along the way.

After years of collaboration, Browne eventually bought Ciccarellis tailor

shop and turned it into his workshop. The latest New York Suit collection is

rooted in the design that he has been wearing all these years. A tailored suit

here costs upward of $7,000.

I would say the quality of suits made in Japan or New York is about the

same, Browne explains. The difference is Im in New York. New York Suit

is what I have been wearing, so no doubt Im giving it more attention. It is a

personal connection that true Thom Browne fans will understand. I would

say they buy New York Suit because of me.

Sounds pompous? Thats because Browne has indeed revolutionized

the silhouette of suits to encourage young people to wear them.

Odd is just a perception he says. My designs may not be embraced

by ordinary men, but at least they will make them think, and try to move

forward just a little bit to wear something different. This is what I think I can

do for fashion.

Thom Browne sets up a mirror room in New York Fashion Week for the release of New York Suit to have the designs and handiwork seen from all angles. The suit that is synonymous with Browne is sold in its Hong Kong store, where measurements are taken for tailoring in New York.

AutuMn-Winter trend

text | Angel Siuphoto | Micheal K.model | Kitti @ Modelonemakeup | Elly Wonghair | Green Cheung

The natural and translucent look is one of the hot makeup trends

this Autumn-Winter season. Utilizing cosmetics with a sparkling

and translucent texture, this look highlights and brightens the

different parts of the face, giving a clear, three-dimensional glow.

For the base, use a two-toned liquid foundation to create a sculpted, three-dimensional look. First, apply the darker-coloured foundation beneath the cheekbone and at the jaw line. Smooth with a sponge.

TIn the T-zone and the centre of the face, dab on the lighter-coloured foundation. Slowly blend all over the face.

Dot concealer over dark eye circles, acne marks and other blemishes. Lightly press twice with the finger for a more refined look.

Brush a thin layer of power foundation all over the face to lessen the brightness.

On the eyelid, brush on a light-gold eyeshadow to brighten up the skin around the eyes.

Dab a little brown eyeshadow and brush it on the eyelid.

Using a flesh-coloured shimmering eyeshadow pencil, draw in the eyeline.

Brush on eyeshadow at the roots of the bottom eyelashes.

Using an eyelash curler, lightly curl the lashes. Brush a lengthening and thickening mascara on the top and bottom lashes.

Brush a light-coral rouge onto both cheeks, brushing diagonally upwards.

To match the rouge, apply a light-coral lipstick to the lips.

For the Autumn-Winter season, a low-key yet luxurious, understated yet

naturally glowing skin is the focal point. The difficulty lies in how to create

a delicate and elegant brightness, yet not make it look greasy. Professional

makeup artists suggest using a shimmering liquid foundation and then

applying a thin layer of power foundation all over the face to set the makeup.

Next, use a black eyeliner pencil to draw the eyeline under the eye. The line should be thicker near the outer corner of the eye.

Brush several layers of dark-brown eyeshadow onto the lower eyeline.

From the bottom on the cheekbone moving diagonally upwards, brush on a light-brown rouge, sculpting an angular three-dimensional outline.

Super-stylish, heavily smoky eye makeup is featured prominently each

Autumn-Winter season. This year is no exception. However, the early autumn

look does not need a deep black. Rather, the smoky area is concentrated

beneath the eye and spreads downwards. The look is autumnal, but not

serious. Using a simple technique, one can create a delicately exquisite texture.
