Make-up for Dara.com's June 2008 Beauty Spread @ Karangkraf, Shah Alam(Thursday, 10th April 2008)

Salam,

Today, I was assigned by Dara.com's reporter, Miss Aida Rofiza (Kak Ida) to do the make-up for another beauty spread in the magazine especially catered for Muslimahs or specifically for the Muslim girls who wear hijab or the head scarf. For those who don't know, Muslimah actually means female Muslims, regardless the fact that they wear the hijab or not.

Khalifah @ Kelly before the make-over

As usual, Dara.com would give ordinary girls out there the chance to experience the make-over by the touch of a make-up artiste & to appear in the magazine. My model this time, she works at Celcom in Damansara. Her name is Khalifah but she prefers to be called as Kelly. Seriously, I think the name Khalifah is awesome but it's her name so it's up to her to be called whatever she likes. :p

I was given full freedom to do whatever type of make-up I like, as long as the new image will be a more beautiful version of her. As usual, I love to play with the eye area, and gave a serious focus on the skin, because I believe that beautiful make-up starts with beautiful skin (yes as Shu Uemura campaigned it) and I love to enhance the beauty of the eyes. It's just logical because everytime we look at someone's face we will look into his or her eyes first, and yes usually whenever we notice there's a beautiful girl nearby, her smooth complexion would be the first factor that attracted us first.

Above are two photos of Kelly after the make-over, however I will only release the clearer images of the AFTER photos when this issue of Dara.com is released, insya Allah in June. So these photos are only for a sneak preview. ;)
