So I was chatting with the GM. She loves to compare me four years ago to me presently. I forgot what she said exactly but I shall use a short and sweet word. 'Nerdy'?
Anyway, each time I go back, my make up gets scrutinized by quite a few colleagues. Today was no different. I got a few compliments for my eyeshadow application.
Ehh... I also think today's one quite nice lah... Tee hee hee...
I spent 10 wholesome minutes leh.
Ohh ok... Back to job's test. Shan't digress too much.
I called the brand manager to ask her the venue of the test. She asked me to go down and look for someone. I really cannot hear the name cause the manager was driving then using hands free. So I asked her to repeat like 4 times and each time she said the name, sway sway the line will either go soft or distorted. I only know its a malay lady's name.
I reached there and scanned for any malay lady at the counter. Don't have leh... All I saw was an indian lady and chinese guy. They were informed of me so they were like looking for who (I still couldn't catch her name). She was out for lunch, so I can take the time to see which products I want to use.
Seeing the range of eyeshadows, I am shocked. Clearly shocked cause there wasn't much colour to play with. All so earthly tones or so sheer. How much difference can earthly tones or sheer colours look on the skin? I'm sorry to say that I'm not trained to see the difference. What I've learnt is colours, colours and more colours.
So when the test started, I was told to do 1 day and 1 night look. Basically, I think I crapped my way through the questions which were asked when I was doing the makeup. A way to distract my thoughts, to test me if I can multi task. Sure I can. I do that all the time at home. I can use the phone, sms and watch tv at the same time. Hmm... Ok because the items were not laid out in front of me, I have to find whatever I want to use, so I actually missed or skipped steps.
Her: I noticed you didn't set the foundation with powder.
Me: Ohh... Ya. I will set with powder after I finish doing the eyeshadow because if the specks of eyeshadow drop around the eye and cheek area, I can dust it away with the powder or it can help to cover it. (Sounding extremely sure of what I was doing)
Classic answer. Hahaha... Till now I still cannot believe I came up with a reason like that.
When asked why the choice of colour of eyeshadow, I don't know what to reply. I mean most of the colour range is earth tones leh... What am I to say? Ohh except, "I choose it base on what she is wearing." Conz was wearing brown, so its like earthy tone also. Wahahahaa...
There were moments of folly too. Kan cheong leh. Somemore not familiar with their stuff. Screwed up with the eyebrow colour and eye area for the night look.
My toe decided to cramp up all of a sudden. So there I have to keep a face with a smile but my toe was hurting like hell. Wanted to sit down but I know I cannot. Stupid shoe... Grrr... I need to buy one soon. I shall not listen to those sales people anymore. I think I should know my own feet better ya?
So now after screwing up in those parts, its like a 60-40 chance of getting the job. Sighhh...
Ohh yes, and I went shopping with Conz after that. Now then I know, they actually got a lot of discount stuff. 30% Esprit discount voucher, URS Vip and lots more but those 2 are what I'm eyeing to stock up on some working attire.
Set... shall go see Esprit soon, 30% is good stuff. I already aimed the shoes, but its not the pumps from the pushcart. Shall get the card then go and buy.
Wheee... Then I'll have happy feet for friday's event at JP.
