Educational talk: Let's Cantik

In conjunction with Konvensyen Wanita Anggun (KWA), Kolej Sakura organized an educational talk centring around self-appearance and beauty: Let’s Cantik. Two student speakers were invited for the event: a 3^rd year chemical engineering student named Dayang Noor Azie, and a 2^nd year civil engineering student named Nur Hijjah Syazalina. Lia Naziera, a 2^nd year cognitive science student, was the moderator for the talk. The event began at 7.30 p.m. with participant signing-in process.

The event consisted of two main activities: beauty tips by the speakers, and a series of videos corresponding to the related beauty tips. The speakers talked about the importance of skincare and how it should be prioritized over makeup, because the condition of the skin affects the overall appearance of a person’s face. A person should be aware of which skin type he or she has, and use face produces which are suitable to it to avoid unwanted side-effects.

Azie also mentioned that a person should always moisturize her face before putting on make-up to avoid unwanted skin reactions in the long run. Besides that, Hijjah mentioned the importance of sleep, especially among busy university students. An adequate amount of sleep will most likely result in healthier skin, she said.

The speakers also took time to answer some submitted questions. One question raised the concern of why people prioritize outer appearances nowadays and Azie graciously answered with “While inner beauty is indeed important, you should always look after your self-appearance. Make-up is not always necessary, however, how you present yourself to others help to make a good impression.”

The talk ended at around 9.30 p.m. after tokens of appreciation were given to the speakers and the moderator.
