Description CLINIQUE, a trusted makeup brand, recently commissioned me (together with Valerie Chua, Jin Joson and Kasey Albano) to create an artwork using their new makeup line with my favorite painting medium. They gave us a theme to work on - “you as a work of art”. And here’s what I came up with!

“Reflection, Perception”
12” x 18” inches
Watercolours, Clinique Chubby Sticks, Clinique Foundation, Clinique Eyeliner, Clinique Lid Smoothie

Beauty is perspective. You are the greatest reflection of your idea of beauty. More than other people’s perception of you, what you think is beautiful shapes what you project. When you live your idea of beauty and take care for yourself, mind and body, that’s when it becomes something you can touch and feel.


I enjoyed integrating CLINIQUE’s new makeup line with my artwork because its new colors are vivid (but not flashy), feminine and fun, especially the eyeliners. CLINIQUE’s liners had the classic neutral colors (black, dark blue and army green) but with subtle sparkles.

If you are interested, this artwork is actually for sale. You may send me a private message for the price (because its definitely negotiable).

Love how you did the drapery on the clothes, forgive me for the rudeness, but something is odd with the check, I think its too emphasize, over all, nice work^_^
