Pampering body massages are just one of many services being offered by Z’hado

OUTSIDE on the narrow Liang Seah Street (opposite Bugis MRT) is the maddening eat-and-drink crowd exploring the famous “ma la” steamboat. Yet inside Z’hado, located on the second floor of a shophouse building, it is cozy and relaxing — just the way its manager Leo intended it to be. The beauty and wellness spa counts executives and tai-tais as its regulars and loyal clients. The reason they keep coming back is the warm reception, friendly and good service Z’hado offers guests.

“I don’t mind whether we are big or small,” says Leo. “I’m concerned with good service and results.” The 37-year-old manager used to be a fashion merchandiser before moving into the beauty and wellness industry because “I want to maintain my youthfulness and beauty the holistic way”.

Z’hado also offers makeup services by an experienced makeup artist

Dedication, innovativeness and creativity has made Leo pursue ways to improve the quality of therapies at Z’hado. These include its soon-to-launch organic facial using products sourced from the Swiss Alps which is eco-certified.

The name Z’hado comes from the Japanese symbol of HADO (Healing and Discovering Ourselves). Inspired by Masaru Emoto’s revolutionary best-seller “The Hidden Messages in Water”, two good friends decided to set up the spa to spread this unique philosophy of healing and health.

Makeup 101: Ten Ways To A Beautiful Face
A step-by-step guide on how to groom your face

STEP 6
Eyebrows – Apply brow powder using a soft angle brush. Begin in the middle of the brow and using a dabbing and blending motion, follow the brow line. Match the eyebrow colour to your hair colour, and remember to comb through with a soft brush for a natural finish.

STEP 7
Mascara – Apply mascara to the bottom lashes first by holding the wand vertically and lightly brush the mascara tip back and forth. (If you have dark under eye circles, apply on your upper lids only, as applying on the bottom will give you a shadow, emphasizing your dark circles more.) Apply mascara to the top lashes the same way, repeating several times. Use the spiral lash brush to remove any excess mascara from your eyelashes.

STEP 8
Blush – Using the blusher brush, gently sweep along your cheekbone starting at the apple of your cheek, moving toward the hairline. The colour should be its strongest on your apple of your cheek.

STEP 9
Lip liner – Begin with a “V” in the Cupid’s bow, or the centre curve of the lips. Then, starting at the outer corners, draw small, feathery strokes to meet the centre V. On the lower lip, first accentuate the lower curve of the lip, and then begin small feather-like strokes from the outer moving towards the centre. To ensure greater staying power of your lipstick, fill in the entire lip before applying lipstick.

STEP 10
Lipstick – Apply lipstick using a lip brush ensuring you don’t go over the lip liner outline. Start at the centre of the lips and work the colour outwards. Be sure to line colour where the lip liner has ended at the corners of your mouth. Knowing your face shape will help when applying your makeup and choosing a hairstyle. To find the face shape that best describes you, consult an image consultant or a hairdresser and listen to their recommendations.

STEP 1
Foundation – Apply a small amount on your cheeks, forehead, chin and nose. Use a triangular wedge sponge and blend the foundation using a stippling effect to ensure an even coverage. Always blend from the middle of your face out and ensure foundation is blended well around the nose and jaw line.

STEP 2
Correctives – Dot concealer over your under eye circles and blemishes. Using your fingers, blend using a light dabbing motion.

STEP 3
Powder – Using a powder brush, apply either loose or pressed powder to your whole face. Use the side of the brush and brush downwards to set your foundation.

STEP 4
Eye shadow – Using an eye shadow brush, apply a base colour from lid to brow. Apply the midtone colour on your eyelid and crease line. With your darkest contouring shade, apply on your outer eyelid.

STEP 5
Eyeliner – Apply eyeliner using soft feathery strokes and always remember to join the upper and lower corners of your outer eye. You can also use an eye shadow as eyeliner using the soft angle brush.

Essential Tips For A Beautiful You

Essential Tips For A Beautiful You
Everyday tips for the maintenance of your hair, skin and body

By Aileen Lane | Reprinted with permission from Ezyhealth & Beauty magazine

MANY women believe that having a wardrobe with the latest season’s clothes is sufficient. They feel that walking out the door with a smart outfit, immaculate shoes and the latest designer handbag completes their look. However, being perfectly dressed is just one side of looking great – the other part is being well-groomed and using makeup.

To achieve a great look, equal attention must be dedicated to each of these aspects.

When makeup is used correctly, your skin will look clearer, your dark circles will be less apparent, your eyes will look brighter and your lips more defined.

Taking care of the following areas will help you along the way:

• Skin – Beautiful makeup starts with beautiful skin. Getting in the habit of cleansing, toning and moisturising every morning and night will remove dirt, excess oil and perspiration. This will reveal your radiant skin underneath – a perfect canvas to start applying your colours.

• Body – With the hot climate, it’s a great idea to get into the habit of showering regularly. Always put on deodorant.

• Hair – Your hair should always be maintained by a regular trim every four to six weeks. If you colour or highlight your hair, ensure your roots are always touched up.

• Nails – They should always be neatly filed and cleaned, including what’s under them. If you always wear open-toed shoes, always indulge in regular pedicures.

• Teeth – Brush your teeth twice a day and floss nightly. Carrying mints in your handbag is essential if you smoke or drink coffee.

Quick Makeup Tips For Everday

Applying makeup on your face needn’t be a chore with these helpful and practical tips• If you’ve applied too much blusher, simply dust over with loose or pressed powder until the colour is subdued.

• When applying mascara, always keep a cotton swab handy. It’s perfect for removing any smudge.

• Your eyes and lips should always be made up but they should never compete for attention. Always remember that a heavy, smoky eye calls for a neutral lip; likewise, a bright red or dark lipstick works best with a neutral eye.

• To keep lipstick off your teeth, once your have applied lipstick, put your index finger into your mouth and pull it out. The extra lipstick will come off on your finger.

• If you’re making a quick change from day to night makeup, a coat of lip gloss over your lipstick will give you a glossy evening finish.

• When applying makeup, always apply in a dabbing motion. Never rub as this removes the product underneath.

• Having sharp pencils will not only give you more accurate application, but it is more hygienic, especially if you wear contact lenses. Get in the habit of giving your pencils a quick sharpen after use and store in the fridge.

How To Wear Mineral Makeup

Mineral cosmetics herald a new chapter in makeup − a look that is lighter and more natural. Here, Revlon’s Bree Sharp gives us the lowdown on the modern way of wearing makeup
By Sabrina Ong

THE latest trend in the cosmetic industry is mineral cosmetics, which have become vastly popular not just abroad but in Singapore as well. That’s because, unlike traditional make-up that’s made of chemicals, preservatives, fragrance and dyes, mineral cosmetics are natural and go well on almost all skin types.

Among the benefits of mineral cosmetics: They provide a smooth, flawless finish. They are perfect for sensitive and acne-prone skin. They are ideal for use post-cosmetic surgery. It is also said that mineral cosmetics don’t so much as cover up flaws but enhance your features. In other words, mineral cosmetics don’t give you a fake, cakey look.

Revlon, one of the world’s most iconic cosmetic brands, recently launched its line of mineral cosmetics in Singapore. We caught up with Bree Sharp, senior trainer for the company, to explain to us the advantages and benefits of using mineral cosmetics, as well as share tips on how to use makeup.
