FACES Makeup Competition on MBC TV – 1st Challenge

The first week’s challenge on FACES makeup competition on MBC TV “Sabah Alkheir Ya Arab” program was about the “Dreamy bride”.

As one of the 3 judges, I’ll be sharing with you my views on looks by the makeup artists. For me, the below were the top looks by Lina Hussein and Risllene.

Lina gave me a glow in the model’s face by emphasizing on the eyes and contouring the face in such a magical way. It was my favorite look by far.

Risllene seems to be the one who understood the “Dreamy Bridal” message that we were trying to get out of this competition. She had beautiful and clean complexion, and overall her makeup was very dreamy.

The rest of the contestants, such as Ange, Lina Zoghaib and Hadjira, also gave a beautiful results. Unfortunately, each week, one makeup artist will be eliminated. This week’s challenge resulted in Rasha being eliminated. Hard luck for Rasha.

This challenge also shed the light on 2 looks that I thought could have been perfect. Namariq went oriental which I didn’t mind. It was the red lipstick that killed it for me not just because red isn’t dreamy at all, but because the model’s lips were too thin and dark red lips will make them look even thinner.

As for Raffle, everything was perfect until she drew the flowers on the model’s face. It was definitely dreamy and its good for each artist to have her own identity, but she has to ask herself if a real bride will actually want drawings on her face. Apart from that it was a really beautiful makeup.

Next week’s challenge is not an easy one, its the “Mysterious Arabic” with blue being the main ingredient of the color palette.

Good luck all!

Aiisha in FACES Campaign

In a one of its kind campaign in the Arab world, FACES, the perfume and cosmetics store, chose me as one of nine women reflecting the passion and beauty.

In my opinion, beauty eases our lives, but it is not a criteria for true and lasting success. Success requires a lot of passion and faith in our principles and sleepless nights. True happiness lies in giving our best and being content with what we have. Do not let competition lure you away from your role real. Neither should you take competition lightly. Always balance.

Like I said, I was one of 9 amazing women who are stars in their own fields, such as beauty expert Samira Olfat, car racer Nahla Al Rostamani and brilliant filmmaker Nayla Al Khaja

My life without passion is like my heart with no pulse.
Thanks to Charney Magri for these beautiful photographs and a BIG THANK YOU to FACES for supporting real and lasting beauty, the beauty of the soul.
