From creating high impact looks using brushes and rouge to now fashioning outfits that can make a person stand out, a Malaysian makeup artist is proving that it is never too late to try something new.

Steven Sunny, 44, recently collaborated with department store Aeon to launch a ready-to-wear collection. It comprises 10 variations of year-end season arrivals from the in-house label Scarlet. His designs range from pretty dresses to cool separates.
