Look out for me in next thurs Urban straits times...heez...I will be in it ;)
Didnt tell many pple as i do feel a little embarrass about it...But I shared with a few the happiness and shock that I had when I first heard about it.
I am one of the 10 finalist in the shisheido makeover competition! Heez...didnt really want to announce it or something until it was confirmed...I guess now it is sort of...Just came back from the photoshoot with the rest of the 7 finalists...the photo will be featured in Urban next thursday...Still not sure if they are going to put the individual photo or the group photo in it...But do not expect anything from me..cos the rest of the finalists are simply GORGEOUS! Ha...After looking at the pics for very long, I have finally convinced myself that Im not ugly, just that the rest of the finalists are too pretty!
The whole competition involves a shisheido class..teaching all the finalists how to do make up and what to wear (though they didnt cover alot on that). Then we are suppose to do our own makeup and hair for the photoshoot (which is today). After which, it will be featured in urban and readers will have to vote for the top 3.
It has been a great experience for me...both the makeup course and the photoshoot. We felt like models in " America's next top model", where we have to pose for the camera in a studio...the group photo was even more exciting as we posed and yet interacted with each other in our poses. I met new friends, new people and a whole new experience that is totally out of my life!
I dun expect to be in the top 3, seriously. Being one of the finalists is already a big compliment for me, I never tot with a round face and big tummy, I could actually feel like a model for a day! HA! And gals, its all make up that will make u shine. Believe me....All those that u see who are gorgeous on the streets are just make up..and since they can..anyone can do it too! Anybody can look gorgeous!
Also, because of this competition I was exposed to many of shisheido's products, both their skin care and makeup...and I must say their products are really good! Really! Their uv active white which Im trying now is good! and their makeup are also excellent! I think I will switch from a being FANCL customer to a shisheido customer once I get my finalists prize (which is 500 bucks worth of shisheido product's hamper)...heez...
Some photos of the course and the photoshoot today:

Laslty,
Thanks michelle, thanks for helping me with all the ideas and comments on my clothes and make up. I guess this should be the last photoshoot...ha!
