Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!
My dear girlfriend Shabana from IIUM/UIAM who is now the host of SIS, TV9, was chosen by an independent Islamic Rap group, DNA (stands for Dunya N Akhirat) to be the model for their indie documentary project. The film project, Project X basically highlights on the position of Islam in Malaysia.
Shabana was portrayed as a modern Muslimah questioning "Who speaks for Islam?" to be made as the cover of Project X's DVD and some for their music video. Since she was only portrayed for an ordinary, everyday scene of a Muslimah, she did not need any glamourous make-up but more on the natural 'no make-up' make-up which is usually more difficult to do than the obvious coloured make-up. No fake eyelashes were used for this make-up.
Since it was for a photoshoot and it did take some long hours, her make-up still had to be from the heavy duty type. Still although she barely looked like she had put on any make-up still the difference was obvious where the end result made her look as a more beautiful version of herself.
Some briefing about DNA, if you know Outlandish from Denmark, one of my most favourite Da'wah Rap groups, then perhaps you will get the idea of their concept of music. Upbeat hip-hop music with religious messages as their lyrics.
Coincidentally DNA is formed by a few Ahmad Ibrahim Kulliyyah of Laws, IIUM/UIA's law graduates who are apparently my seniors namely Muhammad Razif and Justin Johari. Apart from being lawyers, DNA is their side project where they express themselves and convey da'wah in the mode of entertainment. Other two members are Fahrin Alfian (Multimedia University/MMU) and Royadi Madada (Malayan University/UM).
As for the screening of Project X, it competed in the Freedom Film Festival held by KOMAS @ The Annexe, Central Market (Pasar Seni) on September 2008. Alhamdulillah they won the Freedom Film Festival and competed in theInternational Freedom Film Festival in Germany. Well done DNA! =)

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!
Sahabat Sue, Shabana dari IIUM/UIAM yang kini pengacara program SIS, TV9, telah dipilih oleh sebuah kumpulan Rap Islam, DNA (bermaksud Dunya N Akhirat) untuk menjadi model mereka bagi projek dokumentari bebas mereka. Projek filem ini, iaitu Project X secara asasnya memberi fokus tentang kedudukan Islam di Malaysia.
Shabana digambarkan sebagai seorang Muslimah moden yang mempersoalkan "Siapa bersuara untuk Islam?" untuk dijadikan sampul depan DVD Project X dan sebahagiannya untuk video muzik mereka. Memandangkan Shabana digambarkan sebagai Muslimah dalam keadaan biasa dari hari-hari biasa, beliau tidak memerlukan solekan yang penuh glamor, tetapi lebih kepada solekan semulajadi seolah-olah tidak bersolek yang lebih sukar dihasilkan berbanding solekan yang lebih berwarna. Tiada bulu mata palsu digunakan untuk solekan ini.
Namun oleh kerana ia untuk sesi foto dan mengambil masa yang panjang, solekannya tetap terdiri dari solekan khas. Walaupun beliau kelihatan seperti tidak bersolek namun perbezaan ketara sebelum dan selepas bersolek dapat dilihat dengan jelas.
Sedikit pengenalan tentang DNA, jika anda mengenali Outlandish dari Denmark, salah satu kumpulan Rap Dakwah yang amat Sue gemari, anda boleh membayangkan konsep muzik DNA. Muzik hip-hop yang bertenaga namun sarat dengan mesej keagamaan sebagai lirik mereka.
Kebetulan DNA ditubuhkan oleh beberapa graduan undang-undang Kulliyyah Undang-Undang Ahmad Ibrahim, IIUM/UIA's sekaligus merupakan senior-senior Sue iaitu Muhammad Razif dan Justin Johari. Selain menjadi peguam, mereka menjadikan DNA sebagai projek sampingan mereka untuk berekspresi dan menyebarkan dakwah dalam bentuk hiburan. Ahli-ahli lain ialah Fahrin Alfian (Universiti Multimedia/MMU) dan Royadi Madada (Universiti Malaya/UM).
Berbalik kepada tayangan Project X, ia telah bertanding di dalam Festival Filem Kebebasan dianjurkan oleh KOMAS di The Annexe, Pasar Seni pada September 2008. Alhamdulillah mereka telah menang di festival filem tersebut dan seterusnya bertanding di Festival Filem Kebebasan Antarabangsa di Jerman. Tahniah DNA! =)
