In the vibrant lead-up to BAZAAR’s 21st Anniversary party, performer Athina Kamarudin invited us behind the scenes for an exclusive ‘Get Ready With Me’ session featuring Lancôme. It was a night of firsts and milestones—her first dance performance in a while and a celebration of artistry, elegance, and resilience.
“I’m actually really nervous and excited at the same time,” Athina admitted as her make-up look was brought to life by the talented Ummi Nasir. “I haven’t performed a dance in front of people for a very long time.” Her excitement was palpable as she shared her plans to blend her hip-hop roots with the disco-themed event, performing a mix of her favorite songs.
Athina’s look for the evening was a glowing testament to Lancôme’s finest and favourites. She began her prep with the Génifique Ultimate serum, a product she described as her “favourite serum of all time,” to ensure her skin radiated confidence under the spotlight. The Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation and All Over Concealer created a flawless canvas, while the Idôle Tint added warmth and dimension.
Ummi elevated the look further with the limited-time holiday Celestial Palette, adding shimmering accents perfect for the evening’s glamour. Lash Idôle Waterproof Mascara defined Athina’s eyes, and a bold swipe of L’Absolu Rouge Intimatte Liquid completed her look.
The result? A luminous, confident Athina, ready to dazzle onstage and remind us all of the power of passion, perseverance, and artistry.
