Color Pop Workshop with Roshar (Day 2) - The Runway Show!

So a couple of days turned out to be more like a couple of weeks later.  The days leading up the Raya festivities (a.k.a. Eid ul Fitr) was surprisingly hectic considering this year was a more somber celebration in KK.

A few days of sore throat later, here I am balancing myself on a gym ball bringing the second chapter of Roshar's workshop to you and wrap up my experience.  But first, Happy Eid/Raya to all my muslim brothers and sisters. *smile*

OK now.  On to the show!


Basically Day 2 was all about showcasing what we've learnt from the workshop in a fun way.  I mean, what's more fun than a fashion show right?  Especially with the beautiful kaftans sponsored by the wonderful Faeeza Boutique (Kompleks Karamunsing) and Catch22 -- the adjoining hotel restaurant -- so graciously lending their space for the catwalk stage.
With a little humourous banter by Roshar the Sheikh of the Arabian Night themed show, out came the individual models showcasing the workmanship of their respective make up artists.














Last but not least, Roshar's very own masterpieces took the to the runway capturing his work both subtly and his well known flair for fantasy.



When I signed up for the workshop, I had no idea it was gonna have a competition of sorts attached to it. Anyways, it was a fun experience.  I had to force myself to not look around as my competitive side can pop up and I lose the fun aspect of the whole workshop. That aside, there were awards for the Top 3 models in the show as well as the Top 3 make up artists.

My model, Jo, was awarded best model of the night. Yay! *happy dance*

I was taken by surprise when they announced my name as the 1st runner up in the MUA category.  Got me a couple MUFE goodies as well and I love how unexpected that was. Unfortunately I don't have photos of me receiving my prize since I was also the photographer for these shots. 2nd runner up went to Liz, the lovely girl who sat next to me during the workshop.
