Fantasy Make-up Assignment for Maybelline Dream Team - Behind the Lens / Tugasan Solekan Fantasi untuk Maybelline Dream Team - Di Sebalik Lensa @ Shah Alam, Selangor. (September 2006)

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

These photos below are for my Fantasy Make-up assignment. At first when I was given this assignment, all of us were told that we were supposed to produce at least 5 Fantasy make-overs complete with costumes. First thing that came across my mind was "Oh no, this is going to be tough big time." 

Alhamdulillah miraculously I attained some new contacts. With the usage of some amount of big bucks (seriously, for a student to buy the extra materials to make the make-overs cooler were expensive). However when it comes to doing an assignment which I love to do, perfection is my main target regardless of anything else.

Alhamdulillah, with the help of few of REALLY, REALLY GREAT AND KIND people, the outcome of the assignment turned out to be way better than I had imagined. =)

Thus, please check out the photos. They are my first efforts doing Creative/Fantasy Make-up. The whole day of the photo shoot was so exhausting and there were still lots of weaknesses, nevertheless it triggered my craze towards Fantasy Make-up. If you are daring, please do contact me for me to do my thing on your beautiful face. =D

Foto-foto di bawah ialah untuk tugasan Solekan Fantasi. Sewaktu dimaklumkan tentang tugasan ini, kami semua diberitahu untuk menghasilkan sekurang-kurangnya 5 solekan Fantasi lengkap dengan kostum. Perkara pertama yang melintas fikiran adalah "Alamak, ini memang sukar."

Alhamdulillah ditakdirkan Sue mendapat kenalan-kenalan baru. Dengan bantuan sedikit kos (banyak sebenarnya kalau nak diikutkan untuk seorang pelajar. Mahal bagi Sue untuk membeli bahan-bahan ekstra yang menjadikan solekan lebih menarik). Walaubagaimanapun, demi kecintaan Sue untuk tugasan yang diamanahkan, kesempurnaan ialah arah tuju Sue.

Alhamdulillah, dengan bantuan beberapa orang yang AMAT, AMAT HEBAT DAN BAIK HATI, hasil tugasan tersebut menjadi lebih menggembirakan daripada apa yang Sue jangkakan.

Jadi, silalah belek foto-foto tersebut seandainya sudi. =) Ini merupakan usaha pertama Sue melakukan Solekan Kreatif/Fantasi. Sehari suntuk dihabiskan untuk sesi foto sangat meletihkan dan juga terdapat banyak kelemahan, namun ia merupakan titik tolak untuk kegilaan Sue terhadap Solekan Fantasi. Jika anda berani, sila hubungi Sue untuk Sue berekspresi dengan wajah cantik anda. =D

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

Inspired by the animation film of Tim Burton. The focus is on the eyes while the rest of the face remained pale. The eyes looked dead and rotten yet seductive in their own peculiar way. The locks were made-up in a crazy do with the grey dust sprinkled on it; portraying that the soul of the Corpse Bride is still not resting peacefully thus she came out of her grave to lurk around haunting this world...

Assalamualaikum Stylistas of Abaya Suraya!

Diinspirasikan dari filem animasi Tim Burton. Fokus terletak pada mata manakala keseluruhan wajah dipiarkan polos dan pucat. Bahagian mata kelihatan mati dan menjelikkan namun masih menggoda dalam cara yang aneh. Rambut sengaja didandan tidak terurus dan ditaburi bedak kelabu; memberi gambaran rohnya masih tidak tenang maka dia keluar untuk merayap dan menghantui alam fana ini...

From the streets of London, the Punk movement represented anti-beauty, rebellion, the Urban Guerilla. In this look, colours of the Union Jack were being represented. However the princess-like costume and the beautiful tresses with soft curls add a disarming quality to this fierce look.

Wild orchids have always been portrayed as exotic and gorgeous. In this make-up, subtle shades of purple were used to soften its wild image, yet it still gives a hint of sexiness by the glittery white powder used on the petals.
