*Giggling*
Why you laugh?
This is going to be terrible I tell you.
*Laughter*
- Hi guys. -Hello!
Have you guys undergone any beauty procedures before?
Have.
Have. *Laughs*
- We just both went for haircuts. -Yeah!
Eh same!
- *Chaos increases* - We went for haircuts!
I shave quite regularly also, like once every 2 days?
- What about you? - I shave everyday.
*Awkward silence*
- Eh wait I take it back I shave every... *mumbles to himself* - *Laughter*
How knowledgeable are you when it comes to makeup products?
How knowledgeable?
Zero.
2 I guess?
Because I know got some makeup products.
Err, foundation is one of the makeup products?
I think I'm quite okay.
You like you need to do primer and primer got 2.
Then after that you do your base makeup,
Then you must do concealer first.
Then you concealer must be 3 types,
Got the stick one, got the water one, got the... *voice trails off*
Aiya, basically I know.
In today's episode of Singaporeans Try, you guys are going to work at Benefit,
it's a brow bar at Sephora today, providing customers with brow waxing services and selling them makeup products.
- Oh! - So what are we going to do again?
-How many things? - Brow waxing, selling makeup products...
- ...to customer. - To customer!
Hey everyone, Rochelle here!
So I will be teaching you guys how to do Benefit brow waxing,
So from the brow mapping, waxing, and selling products as well.
So are you guys ready?
- Yes! - *Nervous laughter*
But the question is: Is she ready?
- *Laughter* - She has not even introduced herself!
Hello what are you doing here? What is your purpose today?
Oh not for us?
- Yeah not for you guys. - Lucky...
So I will be transforming her brows...
- Wow! - What a tagline!
That is the Benefit guideline.
For us I think it's from now to ouch.
- *Laughter*
Okay so first I will be setting up the station.
So I need to make sure whether she's 18 years old and above.
- Are you? - Yes.
So I also need to check whether she is currently using Retin A, Retinol, any form of Vitamin A, antibiotics...
Okay that is good, that means that she is good to go.
- Okay? - *Nervous laughter*
- So you need to remember all of this. - This one is doing eyebrows or going through surgery?
- Heh, just eyebrow waxing. - Hardcore...
Okay so she has signed already, what we need to do is to set up.
And then gloves up!
So I just need to clip Sandra's hair...
So first I'm going to teach you how to do brow mapping.
Okay so the first step is to find the start of her brows.
So that will be here.
And just put a tiny mark over there.
And then the arch would be from the dimple of her nose right here...
She just used her nose as a pivot!
*Laughter*
Then the last one, you'll need to find the end of her brows.
That will be the end.
So after we do the brow mapping we need to connect the marks.
So earlier I already asked her what type of brows she wants to achieve.
So she wants to have a straight brow.
So now I'm actually doing the marking.
- Wah this looks perfect you can go out already... - *Laughter*
She can just go out like that!
You can also ask your customer, what do you love and what you don't love about your brows.
- It's like therapy... - *Laughter*
It's okay! It's okay for me.
- So you love your brows. - Yes.
So she loves her brows.
Okay go home!
- Okay go back already. - Thank you for coming!
It's waxing time.
When you apply the wax it should be in an upward motion.
Okay then after that just put the strip and pull her skin up.
And then 1, 2,3...
Ah!
So we're going to wax like 9 times.
- So 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. - Do we have time?
And then you put the strip over there.
So you need to pull the strip against the hair, so 1, 2, 3...
Wow!
Okay, okay...
And then I'm going to show the waxed brows to the customer.
- Good to go? - Yup!
- Blink twice if you need help. - *Laughter*
Okay, so now it's time to style her brows as well.
Of course we're not going to let the customer leave the counter without any brow makeup on.
- This part is harder than the eyebrow waxing. - Yeah sia I think so.
So this is the easiest brow product that we have,
This is the Gimme Brow +,
It is a volumizing microfiber brow product.
So you just actually brush it onto her brows,
So it will make her brow hairs more volumized, more texturized.
So I'm going to add on a little bit of precisely my brow pencil,
just to really enhance the shape.
So I'm going to give her a soft straight brow.
- Is it straight enough for you? - *Nods*
Okay? Good one? So it really suits her face.
And then after that we complete the other side, and then she's good to go.
Hello Ms Customer, I am a Benebro, you can call me Hafeez.
So is this your first time doing eyebrow waxing?
Yes.
It's my first time also, so we have a lot in common!
Okay so first up, what kind of brows are you looking at?
I prefer brows with a bit of arch.
- Wrong answer! Can you say straight? - Eh! You asked me how what!
So uh, straight brows for you?
Yeah, since you're forcing me to have straight brows I want straight brows.
Very good, very good.
Okay let me try to remember what to do.
Where is the pink cloth ah?
Then how? Eh sh*t sorry...
Sorry, give me about half an hour.
*Laughter*
I'm ready for you now.
- I'm not. - *Laughs*
What I'm going to do is map your eyebrows.
Okay rest against the dimple...
Wah your eyelash is blocking the pencil!
Not bad ah? Okay, okay.
Now I have to draw in the dots.
- *Giggles* - Why you laugh?
- This is going to be terrible I tell you! - (PD) Wait, wait, wait...
*Laughter*
It's a new look:
Look like sh*t *Laughter*
Oh no!
Its supposed to be straight lines from point to point,
And I cannot draw straight freehand, so this is a hack that nobody tells you.
What a genius solution!
Ah.
*Nervous sounds*
Okay, that's it! Here you go.
Eh!
*Silently laughing*
- *Laughter* - I look very angry!
Okay, I showed you where I was going to do it already right?
So...
Everywhere that is on top of the eye.
- *Laughter* - No!
I'm going to count to 3 okay!
1...2... Breathe in!
Oops sorry! Sorry, sorry.
Can you close your eyes?
Are you like putting it on my eyelid?
Yes?
Are you supposed to put it there?
I think so?
- Wait can you please count! - Okay,
1... 2...
*Chuckles*
Oh not bad!
Not bad, not bad, not bad, not bad!
- Still have eh... - Still have?
- Oh no... - I will tweeze it later.
Ah!
Don't look!
Yeah!
Why does it do that?
Jereld, Jereld, wait! Hold!
Won't rip off one...
Okay ready?
1, 2, 3.
A bit pain ah.
It came off!
The big piece came off.
Big piece!?
- But it's okay. - But as in like um-
Brow is still there.
*Wheezes*
- *Giggles* - Wait, wait, wait. Why are you laughing?
Why are you laughing?
(PD) Can, it's very obvious!
*Laughter*
- Oh my God!
It's not bad right?
- Okay what! - No!
Okay I'm done!
You're done?
Why you giggle until like that?
Why like that? Why so box box?
I have no answers for you.
I will go and fix it.
I think I want a refund.
No!
Just refund!
I'll pay you, let me fix it!
- Okay come. - 1, 2, 3.
Ooh!
Although I see no difference but ooh!
Passable by not taking out too much?
- Less is more. - Less is more...
Less brow is more?
No, no, no, no!
Just now I used precisely my brow on Sandra's brows.
We have another type of pencil which is the goof proof brow pencil.
So it's different. This one is an angled tip and this one is a thinner one.
- Okay. - This one can color?
Can color.
- Like crayon? - Easy fill!
And now let's move on to the primers.
Our best selling right now here in Sephora is actually the Porefessional Super Setter spray.
Let me apply it to you.
Close your eyes, I'm going to apply like 4 times each yeah?
4 times?
1... 2... 3... 4...
That's not me already.
- No wonder! - *Laughter*
- Wah you look very shiny! - *Laughter*
I also want to show you the Benetint.
So we actually just launched our BOP,
Shorter for Box of Powders.
Box of powder...
- Ah. - Okay?
You have 4 categories,
so we have the peaches, we have the pinks,
we have the neutrals, and we even have the berries.
So we can actually use this one, you just sanitize it, and then you can apply on the customer's face.
- (PD) Stop it! - Why?
Hello, how can I help you?
Hello, I am going to travel so I am looking for a bunch of stuff that I can bring with me.
Oh. Where are you traveling to if I may ask?
I'm going to Thailand over the weekend.
- Thailand? - So it's just a short trip.
Oh, err from my understanding Thailand is kind of hot now,
- so no point putting makeup as you will be sun burnt and everything. - *Laughter*
Oh this is new.
This is new..?
Is this new?
The special thing about this is,
As you can see, very misty, very misty.
Give me a moment, don't be shocked ah.
Wooh!
See? Aha! Very misty.
This one is the original one.
Ah...
Is this the smallest size you have?
Ah yes it is the smallest size, because it comes in 2 main sizes:
The bigger one and the smaller one.
But here got 3 sizes.
No this is the mini.
Eh?
Pore primer?
Eh???
I want the mini.
- You want the mini one? - Yeah.
Sure...
Help me out Amanda (PD)!
Oh! I see it I see it!
Porefessional mini, this is the normal one.
Yes correct!
Hi, my girlfriend asked me to find this.
- Your girlfriend asked you to find this? - Yeah.
And then why are you asking me to find?
- Huh? - *Laughter*
This is a eyebrow pencil and this is the new collection that we have.
Eh, she's got taste eh! This is the new collection that we have.
It's the Wanderful collection. Okay come follow me.
For the blusher first right, blusher is all over here.
Sunny is right here.
So, this is this.
Her eyebrow black or brown?
- Or white or grey or blonde? - Brown.
Brown ah?
So this is the one for you.
Um, yeah!
Hi! Can I help you? Do you need any help?
I was looking for an under eye concealer.
Uh, pause please! I need to find.
Sorry at this point of time you may feel that
- So please come back in a while, while I find it for you. - Okay sure, no worries,
I need to find first!
Concealer... Ah okay! Wait come back I found it!
I would say this shade is slightly too light for you.
I think maybe one that is just one pinch darker.
Ah yes so-
Do you like that it is shiny?
I think it's fine.
- Would you like to try the Ginger? - Yeah sure!
Thank you for your recommendations.
Yes of course, I wouldn't be selling you a tester.
Uh, the Ginger one.
Yes the Ginger one was great.
Obviously it would be here.
- Here you go! - Thank you, thank you so much!
You're welcome!
- Yay! - *Happy noises*
Wipe the sweat off our brow!
- We are fortunate to still have our brows. - *Laughter*
- Unlike some other people here... - Hmm!
I think it's like the heaviness of the burden of like
...somebody's pair of brows in your hands.
Like at every portion you must be perfect.
Then after you draw they will be going out eh!
Then if they go out with the Shin Chan brows ah!
That's why I never show them the mirror afterwards.
- *Laughter* - It's done! Please leave!
For me the most challenging part is keeping my hands still.
I don't know how they do it.
When I draw right it's like shaking.
Then I hold her head, it's like her whole head is just shaking!
Mine was the...
It's very evident in the clips, it was the eyebrow mapping.
Really ah, no GPS, no nothing, I just freehand ah,
Terrible eh!
I think you give me 2-3 more customers I'll get the hang of it.
Where to find 2-3 more customers from?
- There! - No! No! No!
