Estee Lauder is having another model search this year... who will be the next Malaysian Carolyn Murphy or better yet, Malaysian Liz Hurley (she is soooooo gorgeous!)???

G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S
I wanted to give them a challenge. Just how professional their make-up artists and photographers are? Can they really beautify everyone and anyone? Can photoshop fix anyone up to look model perfect? Let's look into my case study:
Prior to the photo shoot, I have committed all the beauty sins to prep myself up as the subject in this study.
Sin no 1:
Eat so much that you get all fat and bloated.
Methology-have a heavy meal after every 2 hours yesterday. This was easy as yesterday was the makan trip to Melaka with
bf! Food must be high fat high carbs... consists of dim sum, chicken rice balls, nyonya food, satay celup and some light snacks light cendol in between meals.
Sin no 2:
Drink less water.
Sin no 3:
Get as much sun as possible so that skin tone is uneven and dark. This was already accomplished in KT last week.
Sin no 4:
Don't sleep adequately so that dark circles appear. Watched Spider-Man 3 at the cinema with bf at midnight yesterday. Slept at about 3++am.
As I arrived at Midvalley early this morning, I saw many women already there... from sweet young things to aunties all excited to be beautified then photographed. They all looked as amateur as me. None looked like glamourous models. Perhaps it their professional make-up, hair and photographer's job to change that.
This morning during registration at the Estee Lauder promo area...zzzzzzzzz
The "before" picture This was after some iced mocha, at least eyes could open. Sat at the make-up high chair awaiting my make-up artist.
Other women being beautifiedAfter I got my face painted with what felt like 1 gallon of ICI and had fake lashes glued uncomfortably on my eyelids, the hair stylist curled the ends of my hair for some waves.
The after picture?
Do I look like Carolyn Murphy?The close up pic?
Argh!!! Ghost!I really do not think that the after picture looks good. I prefer the
sans make-up me. Not so scary. Perhaps I am just not used to seeing myself look like that.
As for the professionally taken photograph, I watched the guy photoshop my face to get rid of the scars, pores and uneven skin tone. The result:
Me? Er, you sure ar?I'm not all that happy with the photo as it doesn't really look very me but it does bring us to the conclusion of this study:
Whatever beauty sins committed, the professionals can fix it!
