The 26-year-old from Elle Studio in Johor Baru won the coveted L’Oreal Colour Trophy, a RM145,000 Ford Escape 2.0 Litre SUV and a trip to London, in addition to guaranteed publicity in magazines and salon marketing kits.

Tan was tops in the South Malaysia Zone category, in addition to winning the Female Choice and Shu Uemura Makeup awards.
