Last Saturday, 19 March 2018 I had a wonderful experience to take part in Silkygirl Beauty Workshop with Kak Gyanda Agtyani (or most of us call by her instagram name @andaws) who demonstrated her make up skills. Kak Andaws is one of the rising make up artists in Indonesia and has done work on many brides across the nation. All this time I can only see Kak Andaws' work on Instagram, and through this workshop I can finally see her in person. In case you didn't know Silkygirl is a growing cosmetic brand originated in Singapore and Malaysia through ACG (Alliance Cosmetics Group) International which is one of the largest companies in Asia in the field of cosmetics, body & face care.
This beauty workshop was held at The Fifth of Decorus Building (5th floor) in Jl. Kemang Raya No. 89, Jakarta. As was told to come in a pink dress code, the beauty workshop participants arrived in their pink outfits, in accordance to Silkygirl's brand and theme colour for the event. We were greeted by the Silkygirl's brand team and directed to a long table to which we were offered free flow iced tea or and main course for lunch. Two long tables were decorated with Silkygirl makeup and makeup accessories.
As I was directed by the brand team to a table with an empty chair, a familiar voice called my name, "Lydia!". I looked to the chair across me and turned out it was one of my highschool friends Jessica Deviyana who I last saw 10 years ago at SMA Labschool Jakarta. She too happened to be a participant at Silkygirl's beauty workshop.

The beauty workshop did not start for another 30 minutes, as everyone continued to finish their meal. Shortly after, Kak Andaws walked into the room and greeted the 20-something participants with a giant friendly smile. She shared her tips on "Day to Night Makeup Twist" as well as her secret signature makeup. Silkygirl's brand team also introduced several of their top products such as the Magic BB Cream, Hi-Definition Brow Liner, Truly Nude Eye Shadow Palette, Perfect Sharp Eyeliner, Big Eye Collagen Waterproof Mascara, and 3D Brow and Nose Shadow for face contour.
I think that the look of "Day to Night Makeup Twist" is perfect for those of you who loves an Asian style make up that is light and resistant throughout the whole day, as several of the tones of Silkygirl's foundation and BB cream are light coloured. Silkygirl's product are primarily targeting teens and young women in Asia who wants to look more appealing and increase their confidence.
The beauty workshop lasted for 2 hours with series of brand and products introduction, makeup application, knowledge and tips. At the end of the sessions, the Silkygirl brand team announced a winner from the participants who applied the Best Make Up. We also had a chance to have a one-on-one greet and photo with Kak Andaws! She's so friendly!

When the workshop is over, each participants received a pink goodie bag and a certificate with our names on it for completing Silkygirl's beauty workshop. I arrived home to receive several beauty items such as Matte Junkie Lip Cream, Sharp Matte Eyeliner, Brow Liner and Powder, and a cute cosmetic pouch. Thanks Silkygirl!
