Comments : The first time I did the cover for Hits. This Champion for the Vocals category of World Championship of Performing Arts 2009 in Los Angeles came 2 hours late then scheduled but she was a tonnes of energy in a small package so it was fun working with her altogether with the reporter & photographer. She liked my work on her she contacted me again to do her make-up for a live performance. =)

Akad Nikah Make-up (Bridal Make-up) @ Damansara Utama, KL (Sunday, 20th March 2010)

Salam,

My client this time is another graduate from my university, UIAM/IIUM. Coincidentally when I entered her room I found that my classmate from law school was there since she's one of the besties of the bride. I was astonished and felt it was very heartwarming to know that all her bestfriends came all ready and beautiful as early as 7 am just to assist the bride's family with the last minute preparations. Indeed my client was a very much beloved friend. =)

It was a very nice experience doing my client's make-up as well as having chit-chat about life and very girlish talk with her and her friends (in the room and online via Skype). As for her clothes, she adorned a greyish silver Jalabiya with a very simple yet so adorable veil embellished with huge matching coloured diamantes.

The mother of the bride, a very loving and soft-spoken woman really surprised me (and touched me inside deeply) when my client was ready to become a wife in a few minutes, and we were left alone in the room, she actually clasped her hands together and burst into happy tears saying 'Suraya thank you so much,you really made my daughter look so so beautiful. I have never seen her as beautiful as this.' Seriously even recalling this sweet moment can bring tears into my eyes, the bittersweet joy of letting her baby daughter go which only another mother could really comprehend. =') When we hugged and I told her that her daughter is naturally sweet, she apologised (you didnt have to aunty!) and said only when I become a mother I would understand how she felt. Indeed I trust your every word aunty. =)

Photography Make-up on Aina Mardhiah for Mingguan Malaysia's Citra Wanita (Sunday, 14th March 2010)

Aina Mahu Jadi Saintis Berjaya
(Aina Wants to Be A Sucessful Scientist)

Coordinator (Penyelaras) : Bintu Rasyada A. Rahman
Photographer (Jurufoto) : Zulhafiz Hanafiah
Personality/Model : Aina Mardhiah Nordin
Make-up & Hair (Solekan dan Dandanan) : Suraya Anuar (www.surayanuar.com)

The first time I worked with this sweet young lady here was when she became one of the finalists in Personaliti Pilihan Berita Harian 2008. She was finishing her Masters at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) at the time of this photoshoot. She brought along her bestfriends so all of us had a great chat and laugh throughout the photoshoot.

Apart of her passion in Science, Aina also loves to model. For this photoshoot, since she inherited some Japanese features from her granfather, I did a subtle and natural-looking kawaii look for the first round. As for the second round, I gave her a more daring look with bold red lipstick as well as propping a poufed up ribbon as he headband, inspired by the infamous Lady Gaga.
