It was a boring evening at the Postgraduate Lounge, FKSM when i scrolled through the Instagram and suddenly saw a post from a Make Up Artist (MUA) saying that she needs a model for a makeup class. I don't even wait for a second thought that i directly Whatsapp-ed her telling that i was interested. She told me to send her a photo (or two) of mine. And she will hit me back if i'm the one she's been looking for. And two weeks later, she contacted me and told me that i'm the chosen one. I was happy like, of course! Why shouldn't i? Only this one thing that makes me unhappy... The MUA told me to wear a shawl instead of bawal, my eternal ideal headscarf. I swear i never look good when i'm wearing other than bawal. I know most of my friends including my sister told me that i look pretty or okay in it or whatever, but i know myself so much. Cause i'll never gonna look as good as wearing bawal when i put on a shawl on my head. No second opinion. But yeah, it's okay though. It's not that bad right blabla.
So the makeup class was held at Seksyen U12, Shah Alam. Only about 3km from my house here. The class started from 10am until 5pm. From 10am until 1pm was the time for students (including my MUA) to learn about the makeup skills and whatnot. In this class, they were learning about how to do bridal makeup; smoky makeup and doll makeup. On my face was the dolly look. I mean, come on, it's obvious. The 'teachers' show them on how to apply the makeup with a demonstration on this one model. I swear the model looks very pretty. I don't know if it's the makeup, but she also looks kinda haughty. Maybe because of the attitude that the makeup gave her. Idk. And on 2pm onwards, after the class break, the students will do the makeup with their models of which one of the models was me.
I swear the makeup literally took about two to three hours long. This is my second time a MUA did makeup for me. She took more than half an hour only for the eyebrows. Somehow, she did a great job tbh. To me, she was very thorough and committed to her job. I like her. In fact, i do feel pretty and different. And i do feel like a doll too. Except for the fact that my round face is just not meant to wear a shawl. So i still think if i were wearing bawal, i'll look better. Haha. Thank you to the MUA for giving me such opportunity. It's a win win situation because she was learning too. Which she was actually just experimenting the makeup on my face. But still, i looked pretty so it's okay hunny hehe. Probably gonna hire her in the future for such events. Maybe.
P/S: I apologize for not mentioning the MUA's name or tagged her in my Instagram photos. It's not that i don't want people to acknowledge her with such talent. It's just that, i have insecurities. Lol! She posted a before and after photo of me and the before applying the makeup photo, i think i look ugly as hell. I swear i'm not that ugly irl guys. I can prove that okay! I really hope that nobody that knows me will ever see that photo. Amin!
