Beyond Photogenic
Female Malaysia|December 2019
Living a model’s life sure is a toughie! The talented Hannah Hashim spills on how her life as one is and the beauty faves she’s picked up along the way.
Beyond Photogenic

This half-English, half-Malay Stunner’s first encounter with makeup was at 19 years old when she started to wear only eyeliner and mascara. Once clueless about them, little did she know that she’d be living and breathing beauty years later! Now 28, the commercial talent and model has sported many looks from brazen to sweet in campaigns, fashion line-ups and TVCs.

FEMALE: How does a normal day go for you?

Hannah: “I won’t start the day without a cup of coffee. I’d wake up early and get ready for my shoot, which would usually take five or six hours straight. Then I would eat a late lunch in between fitting and casting sessions before coming home to my husband, cats and laundry waiting to be folded! Before hitting the sack, I’d slather on a night mask.”

F: What makes your job worthwhile?
