Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

This final participant whom I did her make-up for, was then sitting for her Masters Degree in Chemistry in one of the local universities. Unfortunately I misplaced her article so I only have these photos to publish for your viewing pleasure. 

Anyways this tall, slim woman greeted me during the finale at Legend Hotel with a totally new look, where she wore the Hijab! Seriously she looked more beautiful and sweeter putting on the hijab. =)

Peserta terakhir yang disolek oleh Sue, pada masa ini sedang menyelesaikan Sarjananya di dalam bidang Kimia di salah satu universiti tempatan. Sue telah hilang rencananya maka Sue cuma punya foto-foto ini untuk tatapan anda semua. 

Gadis ramping dan tinggi lampai ini, apabila bertemu dengan Sue di peringkat akhir berpenampilan baru iaitu mengenakan Hijab! Serius Sue katakan beliau lebih cantik dan manis berhijab. =)

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

My mother and I had a really great chat with this client of mine. She was accompanying her husband for the annual Petronas dinner. She shared the same name and spelling as my sister, Deena and we got along really well like old friends from the start. 

We spoke about almost everything under the Sun and it was really sweet to know that her husband was the one who discovered me online and asked her to engage my service. How I wish all husbands would make the effort on their part in order to have their wives looking beautiful. =D 

The sweetest part of all when she texted me later that night informing me that her husband proposed her again that night. Awwww. =')

Ummi dan Sue asyik bersembang dengan pelanggan Sue yang satu ini. Beliau menemani suaminya untuk majlis makan malam tahunan Petronas. Beliau berkongsi nama dengan ejaan yang sama seperti adik Sue, Deena, maka kami serasi seperti kawan lama sejak awal lagi.

Kami berbual tentang pelbagai perkara, dan ia sangat manis apabila Sue mengetahui yang suaminya yang bertanggungjawab menemui perkhidmatan Sue di internet lalu mencadangkan kepada isterinya. Betapa Sue berharap semua para suami akan berusaha membantu seperti ini supaya isteri mereka sentiasa kelihatan cantik. =D 

Bahagian yang paling manis ialah apabila Puan Deena mengirimkan SMS menyatakan suaminya melamarnya sekali lagi pada malam itu. Awwww. =')

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

This primary school, Bahasa Melayu teacher really knows what is best for her. She wanted me to transform her into an adorable, Kawaii-like doll where she kept requesting for more blusher to be added on her cheeks. At first I was a bit worried in case I would over-do her make-up, but thinking of the very bright lights in the studio, I think it will be alright. 

Instead of looking just alright, her photos turned out to be absolutely adorable! She is indeed photogenic, but added with the make-up and her brilliant smile in the photos, even me myself almost could not recognise her in the photos! 

In fact, based on the photos in this newspaper article, she was voted by readers of Berita Harian for the Readers' Choice Award of this competition. Congratulations Fa'i! I am very happy for you! =)

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

Guru Bahasa Melayu sebuah sekolah rendah ini benar-benar mengetahui apa yang terbaik untuk dirinya. Beliau benar-benar mahukan Sue memberi transformasi kepada wajahnya menjadi comel atau Kawaii ala Jepun di mana beliau asyik meminta Sue menambahkan pemerah pipi pada pipinya. Pada mulanya Sue agak ragu-ragu kerana risau solekannya akan kelihatan berlebihan, namun bila mengenangkan cahaya lampu yang terang di studio, Sue berasa semuanya akan menjadi. 

Bukan sahaja solekannya menjadi, malah foto-fotonya kelihatan amat comel sekali! Beliau sememangnya seorang yang fotogenik, dan ditambah pula dengan solekan dan senyumannya yang sungguh ceria, Sue sendiri seakan-akan tidak mengenali wajahnya di dalam foto!

Bukan sahaja itu, berdasarkan rencana akhbar ini, beliau telah diundi oleh pembaca-pembaca Berita Harian untuk memenangi Anugerah Pilihan Pembaca. Tahniah Fa'i! Sue tumpang gembira! =)

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

This student from UNISEL, Shah Alam was one of the youngest participating in this competition. Her most outstanding feature is of course her super dazzling smile! I was awed when I saw her gave numerous poses during the photoshoot which seriously I could never be able to pull out myself! It was not a surprise since she is quite experienced and has modeled in several magazines especially teen & fashion magazines such as Seventeen & EH!

_______________________________

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

Pelajar dari UNISEL, Shah Alam ini ialah peserta yang termuda dalam pertandingan ini. Raut wajahnya yang paling istimewa pastinya senyumannya yang cukup memukau! Sue berasa kagum dengan kebolehannya memberikan gaya-gaya yang menarik di hadapan kamera yang sememangnya Sue tidak mampu lakukan sendiri. Tidak mengejutkan rupanya beliau seorang model yang agak berpengalaman dan sudah pernah menghiasi beberapa majalah remaja dan fesyen termasuk Seventeen & EH!

Wedding Reception Make-up (Solekan Majlis Perkahwinan/Persandingan) @ Seksyen 8, Bandar Baru Bangi, Selangor.

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

This client of mine is the sister-in-law of another bridal make-up client of mine. Since she did her make-up at another house and her wedding is located at a further location, she changed into her bridal dress somewhere else. Unfortunately I couldn't get my hands on the photos of her in her full bridal attire, I hope that all of you can still see the difference of the before and after photos insha Allah. =)

Pelanggan Sue yang ini ialah kakak ipar kepada salah seorang pelanggan solekan pengantin Sue yang terdahulu. Memandangkan beliau disolek di rumah yang berlainan dan lokasi majlisnya ialah di tempat yang lebih jauh, beliau menukar persalinan pengantinnya di tempat lain. Sayangnya Sue tidak dapat foto-fotonya dalam persalinan lengkap, namun Sue harap anda dapat melihat perbezaan foto sebelum dan selepas insha Allah. =)

This sweet Landscape Designer from Kelantan really reminds me of the gorgeous actress Lisa Surihani. She bagged 4th place in the finale of the competition so I wish her congratulations! =)

Pereka Lanskap dari Kelantan ini benar-benar mengingatkan Sue kepada pelakon terkenal Lisa Surihani. Beliau berjaya meraih tempat keempat pada peringkat akhir maka Sue ucapkan tahniah! =)

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

She is gorgeous, has a considerably good height, a body to die for, 26 years young and a mother of three. 

Yes she has three absolutely adorable daughters. To make me greener with envy, at the time of this photo shoot she just delivered her third baby approximately three months prior. Her secrets? VERY strict diet and lots & lots of workout especially aerobics. Suraya, really, take note! =)

This lovely lady from Ipoh, Perak Darul Ridzuan entered this competition to be a role model for other mothers, especially young mothers out there. She wanted to prove that as a wife and mother, all of us can still juggle family, career and pursuing our dreams in great balance. 

I was ecstatic when she SMSed me after the photo shoot, saying that her husband really liked the make-up I did on her, and her girls told her that they wished if their mother can have that kind of make-up everyday. =D

In the final event, she looked really, really, really hot. Due to her calmness and poise in answering the questions given to her (especially about being a young mother), she bagged herself  the first runner-up position of the competition. Well done Fieza! =)

Beliau jelita, agak tinggi dan memiliki bentuk badan menarik, berusia 26 tahun dan merupakan seorang ibu kepada tiga orang anak.

Ya beliau seorang ibu kepada tiga anak perempuan yang comel. Untuk membuat Sue lebih cemburu lagi, sewaktu sesi foto ini beliau baru sahaja melahirkan bayi yang bongsu tiga bulan sebelumnya. Rahsianya? Diet yang sangat ketat dan senaman yang sangat banyak terutamanya aerobik. Suraya, sila ambil perhatian! =)

Wanita cantik dari Ipoh, Perak Darul Ridzuan menyertari pertandingan ini untuk menjadi contoh yang baik bagi para ibu, khususnya ibu-ibu muda di luar sana. Beliau mahu membuktikan bahawa sebagai seorang isteri dan ibu, kita semua mampu membahagikan masa dan perhatian mengimbangkan tanggungjawab kepada keluarga, kerjaya dan mengejar impian. 

Sue berasa gembira apabila beliau mengirim SMS setelah usai sesi foto, menyatakan suaminya amat menyukai solekan yang Sue hasilkan, manakala anak-anaknya berharap agar ibu mereka boleh disolek sebegitu setiap hari. =D

Bagi pusingan akhir pertandingan, beliau kelihatan amat-amat cantik. Oleh kerana ketenangan dan keanggunannya menjawab soalan-soalan yang diberikan (khususnya tentang menjadi ibu muda), beliau telah dinobatkan sebagai pemenang tempat ketiga pertandingan. Tahniah Fieza! =)
