2 more weeks to go!! The first rehearsal was on Friday last week at PJCAD's badminton court. Yes I said badminton court. :P The finalists were briefed on what exactly was going to happen on the day itself. The badminton court was marked out to the size of the actual stage (without all the glam bits yet..) for the pairs to know their spot. Since the models were not around, PJCAD finalists stood in.

And there it was again - The Rush for Who Will be What Number! Lol!

Speed of light I tell you..

"The Stage"

Where Make-up Meets Fashion!!

Check out The Body Shop site for more info

The Body Shop Malaysia is up to something really big this year! They are collaborating with PJ College of Art and Design (PJCAD) to hold a Make-up cum Fashion Design Competition. The Body Shop Make-up Artists will be creating a look that will mesh with the fashion design students' creation. Prepare for an explosion of style and creativity!

The Body Shop Malaysia has chosen 10 finalists from entries sent in by their make-up artists and product consultants based on their "smudge charts". These 10 finalist have been undergoing training at The Body Shop Headquarters by Vinz Sebastian the head make-up trainer, finalising and tweaking on the looks that they will be creating for the competition.

The Smudge Charts

The 10 Finalists

Emma - Ting

Joe - Irfan

Suphin - Siew Wern

Lynda - Renee

Sally - Nicolle

The finalists will have to use the limited edition products from the Brush With Fashion Spring/Summer '11 Collection apart from the core products. Have you seen the packaging for it?? It features packaging designed by first year BA (Hons) Fashion Illustration Student Katarina Voloder from the London College of fashion. It's just so pretty I can't keep my eyes off it. The super cool thing about the products from this collection is that it each contains a built in brush.

Eye Palettes, Lightening Touch Illuminating Base, Hi Shine Lip Treatment in Pink Cream & Juicy Peach & Tailored Cheek Tint

Eye Palettes - Boho Beauty & A La Mode

Boho Beauty - Warm Palette of Browns & Apricot

A La Mode - Cool Palette of Pink & Silver

The finalists will be judged on various criterias - make-up technique, showmanship and presentation, mini makeovers given in past month and a half, wearability of make-up look and creativity. The competition is fierce! I mean just look at the photos.

Tomorrow they will be paired up with students from PJCAD by way of ballot. It's about to get interesting.. Be sure to check back! *grinszz*
