The Secret of Perfect Looks on Your Selfie

Taking self photo or selfie is really becoming a trend everywhere. Even photo-editing applications get more diverse to support the trend, such as applications for covering facial flaws to make selfie looks more attractive. Various problems—large pores, acnes, to excess oil—can easily be solved with those applications. However, if you don’t want to edit your photos too much, the right make up is the answer.

That was the message that The Body Shop Indonesia wanted to convey through “Ban the Retouch” on the second day of Jakarta Fashion Week 2015, Sunday, November 2, 2014. Located in Fashion Atrium Senayan City, the beauty label collaborated with designer Gloria Agatha. She presented ready-to-made designs from her label Jill, featuring a collection dominated with pastel-colored mini dresses. At the same time, The Body Shop Indonesia made use of the occasion to launch their latest product: All-in-One Instablur.

According to Iman Pulungan, the Make Up Specialist of The Body Shop Indonesia, All-in-One Instablur is infused with marula oil, a natural ingredient for camouflaging large pores and acnes. Furthermore, the product consists of sprinkle powder to remove excess oil, the culprit behind greasy face. As a primer, The Body Shop All-in-One Instablur is a perfect makeup base for active women because it can last for 12 hours. “Just put on your moisturizer, then apply The Body Shop All-in-One Instablur and dab some face powder. You are now ready to go to the office or party,” said Pulungan.

Also present in the talk show was Ucita Pohan, who shared some tips for taking selfie. “First, consider the lighting. Avoid backlight by facing towards the lighting. Of course, the best lighting is natural light,” explained the fashion editor, MC, and radio announcer who loves to take selfie. Pohan also suggested to practice taking selfie whenever you have free time so you won’t be unprepared if suddenly have to take a selfie

The exciting talk show was closed with the announcement of the three winners of the best selfie from the audience. Before, the contestants had to try The Body Shop All-In-One Instablur, take a selfie, then post it on their Instagram with mention to @thebodyshopindo. They also had to give a member testimony about the product. For instance, praising its lightweight feel, its comfort when applied, and its ability to create a flawless look. There is no need for filters or editing before posting on Instagram anymore!
