Leisure/Day Make-up (Solekan Santai/Siang) for TESCO Make-up Products Campaign @ Jalan Klang Lama, Kuala Lumpur.

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

I went to an advertising company hired by TESCO since TESCO wanted to hire me as their make-up artiste for the launching of their new branches all over Malaysia. I was there to demonstrate my make-up skills since TESCO wanted to do free make-over for their customers using their own make-up line called It's All About Face. 

However after negotiations, although it was a great deal for me as a new make-up artiste, I had to refuse since all the travelling schedule clashed with my classes at UIA. No matter what, the make-up below was fully created using the products from It's All About Face, and I must say for a make-up brand which is from an affordable price range, their products are pretty good. The foundation gives a smooth, natural effect and I love their shimmery eye shadows and eye shadow sticks.

Sue dipanggil untuk ke sebuah syarikat pengiklanan yang ditugaskan oleh TESCO kerana TESCO mahukan Sue menjadi jurusolek untuk pelancaran cawangan-cawangan terbaru mereka di seluruh Malaysia. Sue di sana untuk mendemonstrasikan teknik solekan Sue kerana TESCO mahu memberi solekan percuma untuk para pelanggan mereka menggunakan jenama alat solek mereka sendiri iaitu It's All About Face. 

Walaubagaimanapun setelah perbincangan, walaupun ia peluang yang bagus untuk Sue sebagai seorang jurusolek baru, namun Sue terpaksa menolaknya kerana jadual kembara ke seluruh Malaysia tersebut bercanggah dengan jadual kelas Sue di UIA. Walaubagaimanapun, solekan di bawah dihasilkan sepenuhnya menggunakan produk  No matter what, the make-up below was fully created using the products from It's All About Face, and I must say for a make-up brand which is from an affordable price range, their products are pretty good.

Leisure/Day Make-up (Solekan Santai/Siang) @ Taman Connaught, Cheras, Kuala Lumpur.

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

Another Chinese client of mine, a graduating student of University College Sedaya International (UCSI) was attending her final Prom at Saloma Bistro, Ampang. The theme was 'Hawaiian' so she wanted a look for the beach. She is not so used of wearing make-up so she did not want it to be really thick. I tried to make her be a more beautiful version of herself, but try to keep it clean and light. Both her and her boyfriend were happy with the results. =)

Seorang lagi pelanggan Sue yang berbangsa Cina, merupakan seorang mahasiswi yang bergraduasi di Kolej Universiti Antarabangsa Sedaya(UCSI) mahu menghadiri majlis prom yang terakhir di Saloma Bistro, Ampang. Temanya ialah 'Hawaiian' maka beliau mahukan gaya ke pantai. Beliau tidak biasa mengenakan solekan jadi beliau tidak mahukan solekan yang tebal. Sue cuba menjadikannya lebih cantik, tapi masih cuba mengekalkan solekan yang bersih dan ringan. Beliau dan teman lelakinya sukakan hasilnya. =)

Step by Step Make-up for Plus Size Women (Solekan Langkah Demi Langkah untuk Wanita Bertubuh Gempal) for Dara.com Magazine January 2008 issue @ Karangkraf, Shah Alam, Selangor.

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

I was assigned by a reporter of Dara.com, the sweet and super nice Allahyarhamah Mrs. Aida Rofiza (Al-Fatihah), or I just called her Kak Ida, to do a step-by-step makeover for the magazine’s beauty spread. She asked me to do a make-up on a plus size model, Mardiana, teaching the ways of how to make a chubby face looks slimmer with make-up. She wanted it to look beautiful yet natural. I was happy to do something different. It is always much more challenging and satisfying to do make-up on someone who is not naturally given with sharp features. It shows that make-up can do so much to enhance your look, anyone can look more beautiful with the proper make-up.

Sue telah ditugaskan oleh seorang wartawan majalah Dara.com, Allahyarhmah Puan Aida Rofiza (Al-Fatihah) yang manis lagi baik hati, atau Sue memanggilnya Kak Ida, untuk melakukan solekan langkah demi langkah bagi ruangan kecantikan majalah tersebut. Beliau meminta Sue menyolek seorang model bertubuh gempal, Mardiana, mengajar cara-cara untuk menjadikan wajah yang bulat berisi untuk kelihatan lebih berbentuk melalui solekan. Beliau mahukan solekan yang cantik namun kelihatan semulajadi. Sue gembira untuk melakukan sesuatu yang berbeza. Ia selalunya lebih mencabar dan lebih memberi kepuasan untuk menyolek wajah seseorang yang tidak mempunyai raut wajah yang ketara atau sharp features. Ia membuktikan bahawa dengan teknik solekan yang baik, sesiapa sahaja boleh kelihatan lebih cantik.

Convocation/Day Make-up (Solekan Konvokesyen/Siang) @ Kampung Chubadak, Sentul, Kuala Lumpur.

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

I did make-up for two sisters where one of them was graduating. Thus they want proper looks for her Convocation ceremony. They never had make-up really before this especially the one in green, but finally I managed to make her made-up and she was happy with the results although it was not my best. As for the convocation make-up it is also suitable for a day outing.

Not only that I shared with them the correct and essential ways to having smooth beautiful skin. I also did a demonstration of day make-up on a participant.

Day Make-up (Solekan Siang) for Harian Metro @ Bangunan NSTP, Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur.

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

Harian Metro wanted me to create 3 different looks for their Ramadhan/Aidilfitri editions. As for this one they wanted simple, thin & natural make-up suitable for daily usage in Ramadhan.  I wanted create the make-up which makes my best friend cum model Shazana to look more radiant, yet she does nott look too made up because she is already naturally beautiful. 

As said by supermodel Naomi Campbell, " A 'no make-up' make-up takes a good 10 minutes to be done." I believe this is only on the skin not the whole look yet.

 According to one my most favourite proffessional make-up artistes, Khir Khalid whose specialty is on nude make-up, he said it is the most difficult to create the nude look because it is a challenge to create a natural, beautiful make-up by concealing the imperfections of the skin effortlessly. 

Although this is not exactly the best nude make-up, it still made me nervous to put on make-up on Shazana who already looks awesome naturally with pretty features and especially fair, clear skin but instead would always look terrible with make-up, seriously. However I did it anyway, and it was a compliment when she dreaded to wash off her make-up before taking ablution for prayers. =D

Harian Metro mahukan Sue mencipta 3 rupa berbeza untuk edisi Ramadhan/Aidilfitri mereka. Untuk solekan ini, mereka inginkan solekan yang ringkas, nipis dan semulajadi sesuai dengan pemakaian seharian khususnya di bulan Ramadhan. Sue mahu mencipta solekan yang menjadikan rakan karib Sue, Shazana kelihatan lebih segar berseri, tanpa kelihatan terlalu bersolek kerana beliau sendiri seorang yang cantik semulajadi.

Seperti yang dikatakan oleh supermodel Naomi Campbell, "Solekan 'tiada solekan' sebenarnya mengambil masa 10 minit untuk menghasilkannya." Sue pasti itu cuma pada bahagian asasnya sahaja dan bukan keseluruhan hasilnya lagi.

Menurut salah seorang jurusolek tersohor yang paling Sue kagumi, Khir Khalid di mana kepakaran beliau ialah pada solekan nude (bogel seakan tiada solekan), cabaran terbesar ialah untuk solekan nude kerana ia sukar untuk menciptakan kulit yang cantik semulajadi dengan menyamarkan noda dan ketidaksempurnaan kulit seperti tiada solekan. Walaupun ini bukanlah solekan nude yang terbaik, namun Sue agak gementar untuk menyolek Sha kerana beliau yang sememangnya mempunyai raut wajah cantik dengan kulit yang mulus selalu akan kelihatan tidak elok dengan solekan. Namun alhamdulillah Sue berjaya mendapat pujiannya apabila beliau amat menyukainya dan berasa sedih untuk mencuci solekannya kerana mahu menyempurnakan wudhu' untuk bersolat. =D
