Hai.
Jumpa lagi di ramadhan ke 13. Baki
another 17 days (lebih kurang) before aidilfitri. Being an adult, raya bukanlah
menyeronokkan mana pun, sudahlah perbelanjaan increase, mau gaduh lagi mau
beraya rumah siapa. Eh. Kami tak.
Selalunya, aku akan bersiap awal
pergi kerja, sangat awal sampaikan husb pun belum bangun. Aku ni paitung muka
ja boleh ambil masa 15 minit, campur lagi tudung, campur lagi masa tukar baju
sekali perasan nda matching tudung, nah. Lepastu memandu lagi berhemah la
sangat, last-last masuk kerja lambat. Matai. Potong gaji. Hujung bulan dapat
slip, pengsan. Belum lagi dapat memo. Die.
Kiranya, husb jarang nampak aku
bersiap. Selalu kiss goodbye je, dia tengok pun mamai mamai. Tapi this
ramadhan, dia berpeluang tengok isteri dia bersiap, yakni memaitung muka (read:
mekap) sebab dia kan hantar aku. Being a man, hidup mereka simple. Bangun, cuci
muka, berus gigi, pakai baju, jalan. Kita? Perempuan ni? tsk tsk geleng kepala.
Tak boleh ke satu hari tidak mekap?
Boleh, tapi bukan masa pergi kerja. Terutamanya aku. We dont want to look hot
macam pergi club, we just want to look presentable, right? Jadi, muka aku
without mekap adalah not so presentable. Without mekap on, aku rasa malah aku
takut orang koma tengok aku. HAHA Exaggerating sungguh. Fine. Tidak koma, tapi
boleh depresi.
My face (skin) adalah ALWAYS troublesome.
Hormon tidak stabil (biarpun usia menginjak 27), so I still have those
pimples-day-out every month. REGULARLY. Jari lagi gatal, you know lah what I
mean kan. So, scars adalah banyak. Tiap bulan I stress how to buang the scar,
nda lama the pimple keluar, runsing lagi how to buang the pimple, neverending
story. But pimple I scared the most, it ruined your face. At least scar boleh
tutup pakai concealer. Pimples? You can see the benjol from far ahead.
Aku pernah baca di belog (macham iz
punya, maybe? Kawan Hanis Zalikha juga), nama dia Iz, kulit dia halus gebu.
Lepastu ada tanya apa ubat pimples dia pakai, dia jawab, dia takpernah ada ubat
jerawat kot, sebab bila ada jerawat dia picit je, nanti tinggal parut, dia
pakai ubat parut je. Boleh camtu. Hahaha Tapi logik lah kan?
But now. I felt like my face
condition are getting better day by day. Lebih smooth. Jerawat kurang singgah
(which to be honest juga aku takpernah ada those big pimples, yang kecil halus
punya pimples ja ada), and my face rasa lebih lembut. I notice this happen
because of the face cleaner I used. I have been using this Himalaya face
cleanser kerana terpengaruh dengan Joanne Juend. Harga a bit costly; 26MYR.
Tapi ada improvement di muka, at least.
I dont know lah, its just I think
sekarang ni my face regime / makeup ada a better combination. With Himalaya
product as daily cleanser, Safi perfect 10 as toner (10 MYR), cold cream from
Avon (9MYR), dengan masking frequently. Mask yang jenis sheet (E-Noveal, 10MYR
for 5), aku pakai 2 minggu sekali, mask yang jenis scrub (Avon, 10 MYR ) aku
pakai every 2 days. I think I need more scrubbing untuk buang dead cells, kan.
I also practice good hygiene before
makeup. Cuci muka sebelum start and put some toner on. First, I used Fresh
Radiance Gel Foundation from Avon (MYR 10), ratakan ke whole face, as a base.
Second, I used foundation brush (9.90, E-Noveal) to sapu Cover Face (23.90MYR,
E-Noveal) from Naturactor (number 151) to the face, before ratakan lagi guna
jari. Third, I put a bit of BB Cream from Avon (18MYR, maybe) to the face, tapi
ala ala kadar je, jangan banyak sangat nanti oily jadinya. At this steps,
magically the scars jadi 'hilang' (saja sedapkan hati sendiri cakap hilang
-.-" ), tak hilang sepenuhnya tapi jadi samar. Cover face is good, no need
concealer. Some tips, cover face can act as concealer too, just need to put a
little bit thicker in the dark spot. Ratakn betul betul. Barulah sapu powder. These
are my style, my way of doing this.
Jadi, kalau kamu pernah jumpa aku
secara live (come on, y u trip macam artis neh?), you will notice my scars
still there even after makeup, tapi you have to really look clearly and dekat
baru nampak and sedar kan. Imagine lah kalau aku bare-face, sanggup kamu
tengok? Thats why, kalau mau tengok,
better tengok dari jarak 100 meter, terus I jadi bidadari gituw di matamu. Plis
lah jangan buat orang muntah, Dayah.
So, my point is, bersyukurlah those
born with good skin condition. Yang halus mulus gebu sebab keturunan genetik
begitu. For us, yang ada masalah skin, mekap adalah antara solution to at least
cover it up, and gain some confident to face the world. Eleh, I pernah di
diskriminasi di sekolah / kolej sebab
people choose looks over my skills and knowledge ;)) Thats a hard reality
check, you know.
Tapi aku pun nda lah suka sama
orang yang mekap over. Kena ikut kesesuaian majlis kot. Yang penting, kalau
boleh jangan sampai hilang wajah asal.
PS : Aku paling fail part eyebrow.
Berterabur kan? -.-"
