Makeovers - STM ep.3
"As always on Top Model, there will be makeovers! This is that time! Votes from last challenge has been registred and we have one contestant that won the round and one that got eliminated. The winner was Alek Dobrev, and the eliminated one was Helena Abdullah. After taking the judgement in to account, that was our final decision, ever though it was a hard one, especially amongst the top three. But anyway, here are the makeovers of today, and the photos from that session. As last time, you can vote via comments eatiher here on or iFokus or by sending me a message".
Alek Dobrev
Makeover: Shaved one side of head, brows and hair dyed blonde.
"You look amazing, Alek! From Russian vampire boy to super hunk! Dayum! You still look like yourself, though, which is good. And your posing is really engaging; you really seem to like to pose in dramtic poses. Although, your covering your makeover with your hands, but on the headshot you're not, so I think it evened out. Really good job, Alek. Spasibo".
+ Gives it all.
+ Relaxed face yet stunning expressions.
- Covering makeover on the full body-shot.
- We wanna see more neck.
Alena Bell
Makeover: Curl-permed the hair and made it more natural looking, also cut the ends.
"Alena, you look good, I absolutely love your new hair! It looks more like yourself in a way. The posing has me a bit torn, becuase on the full body-shot, your covering your neck which you know we don't like, but you're really showing it off on the headshot, so I'll say as I did to Alek, it evens out. None of the pics are 'wow', though, but you look good. The shape of your body in this picture is gorgeous and as in the previous challenge, you know how to work both face and body, and the agles are much better this time".
+ Knows how to work body and face.
+ Eyes telling stories.
+ Trying to create movement.
+ Shows off new look.
- Head, neck and face on full body-shot is not great. Give us more neck!
Alexandra Holmes
Makeover: Dyed hair blonde and cut it chest-lenght. Shaved eyebrows.
"Alexandra, wow! Although we liked your lion mane, it was a bit too long. This is way more modelesque than the look you had before the transformation. The blonde tones really suit your skintone and the no eyebrows-look makes your eyes pop and continues that pale look. I am not in love with your posing here though, Alexandra. It's a bit boring to me, like you're not giving your all. Do you really want to be in this competition?".
+ Eyes one could get lost in.
+ Showing off the new look.
- Awkward and boring poses.
- Looks sad in a not-so-fashion-way.
Damian Camper
Makeover: Eextentions then dyed brown.
"Damian, we see that you are comfortable in your body. In two challenges now, you've posed almost naked, and you don't seem to mind. That's good if you're gonna be a model. I am not thrilled over your new look actually, though I think the idea was good, but I'm not sure about the actual result. We'll give it some more time, keep working it as you do in these pictures and it might grow on me. Good job, man!".
+ Comfortable in own skin.
+ You know your body and how to pose with it.
+ Good and professional face expressions.
+ Shows makeover.
- Similar face expressions in both pics. We want variation.
James Graw
Makeover: Brows were made bigger and dyed, and he was given a beard.
"James! We couldn't do much to you, huh? We like you bald, so we gave you a fake beard, which is almost not visible, but it's there. We made your brows thicker and colored them slightly, but left the rest to be. About your poses this week, I don't know what to think. These pictures aren't really doing it for me, becuase there's not very much happening in them, which I dislike. You have eye contact though, even though you look a bit sad. Step it up!".
+ Eye contact.
+ Shows of new brows and beard.
+ Aware of your good angles.
- Boring picture, forgettable.
- Looks like you're not trying.
Melani Klum
Makeover: Cut hair and bleached it. Eyebrows bleached too, and dyed light brown.
"Melani, I barely recognzed you! You look amazing. Even though you had to endure the painful process of bleaching; the results were worth it. Your posing today is really good. You could stretch your neck a bit more, but it's fine. Your having a similar pose from the previous challenge, but I like it a lot better here since you're showing your body more, and it looks fantastic!".
+ Amazing body work.
+ Puts emotions into pictures.
+ Shows off makeover.
- Tilt your head upwards a bit in the full body-shot next time.
Sandra Johnson
Makeover: Hair was cut shorter and dyed brown.
"Sandra, I almost didn't recognize you either! I don't know what I think of this new hairstyle you were given, but it does look model-like, so I think it will help you get better pictures and more bookings as a model than what your earlier look was able to provide you with. I like that your hair now matches your brows. On the headshot, your posing is good, but on the full body-shot, it's weak. Tha angle of your face there is not good, and your arms are extremely tense!".
+ Shows off new look.
+ More relaxed than last time, on the face part in the full body-shot.
- Similar face expressions and head pose as previous challenge.
- Awkward and stiff body and pose.
- Dull eyes and expression.
