Worried about your Singapore Airlines cabin crew skin check test ?
One of the most common questions I heard from cabin crew hopefuls is if a cabin crew needs to have perfect skin. In fact, I have crew friends who had little scars… but after make up… they are almost invisible.
I also have a friend who even went to the interview without any make up ! got through the whole SIA interview process and only had her first make up lesson during training !!!
so.. heres the good news is..at least in my opinion and experience from meeting and flying with so many crews.. perfect skin ? Not exactly… but if you can hide your flaws and “prevent detection”.. then all the more better. It just help to show your character and also help radiate your glow.
So, how do you hide your flaws for your cabin crew interview ?
light scars, blemishes, dark rings etc…
I personally use a concealer call Covermark japan. It is by far, the most effective concealer in covering my flaws.. in fact, i used it to cover my light scar during my cabin crew interview 4 years ago… and yes.. I got through =P
My Little Foundation Secret As A Cabin Crew
I personally use covermark basic formula. “a solid paste type long lasting waterproof foundation” – if you want to find the exact one I use.
Again, this brand is really very effective.. at least in helping me cover my flaws. In fact, from what I’ve heard, this brand has often topped Japan’s best selling cosmetics.
Do note that it is different from Covermark USA… though it was brunched out from there.. Covermark Japan moved out on its own and created its very own cosmetic sometime back..
ok, so now you have no qualms about skin flaws and how to go about covering them. hee hee
If you are from Singapore, then you can find it in Bugis Junction and Takashimaya, under the cosmetic section.
Now.. here is the bad news… it can’t be found in Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea and India…
So, for my friends in Malaysia, Indonesia, India and Korea… you might want to trouble your friend from Singapore to help you get one and send it to you.. I mean.. that’s how I see it.
Another way is to go online to purchase. and the closest thing I have found online is this shop that sells covermark brands : Covermark.
I hope this post helps and for girls who really want to conceal your flaws… I strongly recommend trying out this brand.. and believe me.. you’ll fall in love with it.. hee.

Hi Kristine, has been following your blog and find it very helpful and informative! Anyway i would like to ask if i manage to conceal my scars using concealer (i’ve gotten some scars on my hands) do i still have to fill in the application form stating that there’re scars on my hands cause one section of it requires us to declare. thanks a lot!

hi kristine, appreciate your efforts on the website!
just wanna ask if it’s possible for me to get in at all, if i have a 1×0.5 cm scar on my hand?
is skin check very hard to pass even for the guys?
thank,
kelvin

hi kristine,
thanks for the information, apreciate your effort here.
just a question though, is there any chances for a guy who has a 1×0.5cm more or less scar on his hand? looks more like a birthmark now, got it from young. are the skin check very hard for guys as well?
thanks again!
kelvin
By: kelvin on February 27, 2010
at 2:50 pm
depends if you can hide them.
For guys, they might not be so strict because you all will be wearing shirt and jacket during flight and in addition, the swim test is taken out so… you might not get “check” on the hand..
In other words.. if you can cover them during your interview as you will most likely be wearing short and tie for the interview.. you might just scrape through too ^^ don’t worry about it..
But if it is very visible on the “hand” or “palm” .. then.. ya.. it is going to decrease your chance because that is where the passenger will be seeing when you serve meals etc =)

hi kelvin,
How are you? how was your SIA interview? may i know how was the skin check for guys? how they check?
Appreciate if u can reply me.
Thanks

Hi Kristine, am jus wondering does the size matters?? I mean in a way that many crews are either petite and slim or tall and silm. Jus wondering does meaty, heavy bones female stand a chance?
By: Valerie on February 27, 2010
at 3:16 pm
As long as you have a healthy BMI…
well.. the petite body is an illusion created by the kebaya.. because it is “tailored” specifically for you.. hee.
So.. yes.., depends on how you present yourself on the actual day of the interview, I would say, all females stand a chance ^^
By: cabincrewkristine on February 27, 2010
at 4:09 pm
hi kristine ur blog is really awesome!! š maybe u could share with us more abt the skin check round like what is it that the beauticians are checking for?
i understand that they also check ur lower arm? i also have a brown birthmark patch on my left wrist (abt 2 x 1 inch) will it affect my chance of getting in, in ur opinion? š
By: Dawn on February 27, 2010
at 5:00 pm
ha ha thanks..
birthmark patch.. is it very close to your skin tone ? if it is, then maybe you may be able to go through.
You can also try lightening it with a concealer before you go for your interview ^^
and seriously, skin check test really depends… because one of my friend got scrutinized very badly for her skin… but she still goes through.. so.. I am not too sure about it.
But in my opinion, as long as you don’t have serious acne or blemish outbreak.. and can be covered with make up.. then should be generally alright… ^^
By: cabincrewkristine on February 27, 2010
at 8:59 pm
thanks for sharing Kristine
i use covermark concealer and must say it’s really effective in coverage.may i know what makeup brand do u use for SIA crew? i heard it’s lancome? i often envy how beautiful and flawless SIA girl makeup is, can you please share a bit more on the makeup? thank you so much!
By: nobi on February 28, 2010
at 6:01 am
Yes, its lancom,
but its not what I used… in fact.. Lancome is the “choosen brand” that you will be introduced to in your training.
however, most stewardess use their own brand after they start flying so.. I can’t really vouch that everybody use the same brand of lancome..
Make up… SIA standard ? As thick as possible =P It has something to do with the lighting of the cabin…
By: cabincrewkristine on February 28, 2010
at 9:30 am
thanks dear. ok have an idea..as thick as possible..! LOL
but still i found SIA girl makeup to be flawless and perfect even in cabin air pressure and after touch down, can you please share what brand u use please? i wanna zoom down to the products you use to achieve that look
thanks!!
By: nobi on March 1, 2010
at 9:32 am
err.. as thick as possible is.. when you are flying.. pls don’t do that for your interview…
I use covermark from japan… different stewardess use different brands and yes.. some bought brands from overseas.
and no… actually… even if the recommended brand by he company is lancome… few girls actually use it… haha.
By: cabincrewkristine on March 1, 2010
at 9:52 am
Hi Kristine, wow ur blog is fantastic!! š
Would like to ask if u could recommend any skin care products for oily and sensitive skin? As my T-zone gets naturally oily and I have to use oil facial blotters every hour or so. Will it affect my chances in the skin care round?
By: lina on February 28, 2010
at 1:18 pm
Lancome does sell a few varieties.. but most of the make up I use comes from Covermark japan..
Actually… the more oil blotters you use.. the more your skin will produce oil… and you should try to cut down on that my dear.
and no.. it won’t as long as you know how to hide it or so…
By: cabincrewkristine on February 28, 2010
at 4:00 pm
hihi, how stringent would the skin care round be? Would they just check for scars only? What about other factors like skin type or facial hair, etc?
By: Xin on February 28, 2010
at 1:36 pm
I suppose so.. blemishes and pimple breakouts too
They never tell us what they check for…. cos.. I actually see a lot different skin types also go through.. but just that all dun have outbreaks or very obvious scars, dark rings etc
By: cabincrewkristine on February 28, 2010
at 3:26 pm
Hi Kristine
Thanks so much for sharing this awesome post! It answers my query on the comment which i left in ur previous post! BTW, i have a second doubt (sorry for my thousand and one questions)… just wondering will high forehead coz one to be booted out at the skin check round? if i were to cut bangs, will it look inappropriate for the interview? thanks so much for advicing once again š

Hi Kristine
I have quite a number of marks/scars on my legs and I’m pretty worried about the skin check round. Is it okay to use the concealer and get through the round?
Really appreciate your help. š
By: xiaohui on March 3, 2010
at 5:33 am
yes dear,
please use a concealer and try to conceal it ^^

have a great day ahead. š
By: xiaohui on March 3, 2010
at 5:19 pm
Thank you for your wonderful sharing!
For the skin check, other than pimples and scars, do they look out for pigment spots and moles too? Generally I have good skin but I have a few light brown spots and i wonder whether it can be covered..
And what attire will you recommend for the interview?
Thank you so much!
By: Ting on March 4, 2010
at 3:30 pm
Err.. depending where the spots and moles are dear… its about the overall image on the look itself.
They also look out for tattoos and dry skin etc..
Dress professionally as you would for any job interview ^^
By: cabincrewkristine on March 4, 2010
at 4:06 pm
Hi Kristine! I’ve been following this for some time already š
Would like to enquire, if i have a few blemishes due to some body acne slightly below the back of my neck, will the kebaya be able to cover?
Cuz from what i understand, the kebaya is a little scoop at the back.
Thank you! š
By: Chyanne on March 7, 2010
at 10:50 am
hmmm… depending on how low your acne is…
the scoop behind is about 2 inches below the part where the back of your neck connects your shoulder. But then again… it all depends if you are able to cover it with the kebaya and if the “beautician” sees it…
By: cabincrewkristine on March 7, 2010
at 4:08 pm
Hi Kristine,
I have a 1inch birthmark under my neck and the colour is very obvious. Do u think i have a chance to go through the skin checks. What do u recommend?
By: hidd on March 13, 2010
at 4:02 am
As far as I am concern… try to conceal it no matter what…
As I am not the “beautician” checker.. I have no say over this.. I may think yes.. but she might think no..
The safest is to conceal it…

Hi, would like to know how much does the covermark basic formula concealer cost?

Hi Lyn,
It cost about $40 ^^

hi kristine,
thanks for your blogs, its very informative. may I ask that if i Have eczema and ungoing treatment for it, should I cover it up also? i’m very worried =(.
By: whey on March 15, 2010
at 4:57 am
In a way… yes you should cover it up… I
don’t want to hide any false hopes but be prepared because high chances are you may be faulted for that condition and not make it through.
But don’t take my word for it… until you try and did your best…
By: cabincrewkristine on March 15, 2010
at 5:23 am
Hey your blog is awesome š
i want to check, i have hairy arms and legs and i can’t shave. would that get me kicked out?
By: MyDream on March 17, 2010
at 10:18 am
This question is subjective…
you don’t know until you try =) because I do not know how… much hair and the over appearance it gives… =P
By: cabincrewkristine on March 17, 2010
at 2:05 pm
hi during the skin check, may i ask if they will check your legs even if you wear a pair of long pants? Have a few scars on the legs.
By: LA on April 5, 2010
at 4:16 am
Hey dear,
During your Kebaya round, yes, The Kebaya got a long slit and you will be asked to do some walking, which will expose some “leg skin”… but again, since it is a continuous movement, it may not be obvious if you try to hide and cover it.
Hope this helps ^^
By: cabincrewkristine on April 6, 2010
at 3:05 am
Hi Kristine,
Is your manual for guys too? And, does the skin check for guys will be as stringent as the ladies?
By: Fresh on April 28, 2010
at 6:33 pm
Hi,
Yes, its for guys too. but some of the stages like kebaya or uniform, you can leave out. cos guys dun have uniform fitting.
And for guys, I believe the skin check is not as stringent… afterall.. you all dun put make ups for work right ? =P.. so do… but, thats another side of the story =)
By: cabincrewkristine on April 28, 2010
at 6:51 pm
How do they conduct the skin check? Do they like look at you like in a close up view?
By: Fresh on April 29, 2010
at 2:23 pm
hi!can i ask whether can i put on fake lashes to the interview?what kind of outfit is more suitable?
By: iris on June 18, 2010
at 6:33 am
Hi kristine , your blog is really useful , thank you for all information š I’m interested to find out how often do they conduct interviews because there is one coming up this week but if I missed this , how long do I have to wait till the next interview ?
By: Yan on June 21, 2010
at 2:56 pm
from the current patterns.. it seems like it wun be too long… longest maybe will be 3 months… else.. will be before =)

Hi! Your blog is great in providing practical tips for those who want to become SIA stewardess. I’d be going for this Saturday’s interview and have some questions:
1) I saw that in your comments, blemishes, scars or pigmentation are not allowed on any SIA stewardess’ face. Do that include moles? I have 2 moles that are not easily concealed on my face as they are quite dark coloured. Should i mention that on my application form?
2) For the uniform fitting round, will we be wearing the kebaya with stockings and heels?
3) Is there a weight test during the walk in interview? What is the target range they look for?
4) How long will they call me to go for the rest of interview rounds if I can’t finish the interview rounds on 1 day?
Thanks! Hope to hear from you soon!
3)
By: Christina on June 23, 2010
at 3:47 am
Moles not included.. you are talking abt the tiny ones right ?
Skin checking is really more for scars, tattoos and senstive skin..
weight test yes, within MAX ideal BMI – 2 is the preference
next day
By: cabincrewkristine on June 23, 2010
at 12:38 pm
Hi , I’m only 19 , do you think chances of me being selected is slim due to my age ? Also , I do not have very big blemish problems but since i’m young , I often have pimples coming out here and there but can be treated fast and able to cover with makeup , do you think that will do ? And also , I’m only 158.5 which yes , hit the criteria but do you think it’s still too short to be selected ?
By: Yan on June 24, 2010

Hi Kristine,
I’m giving the upcoming interview a shot & i got a qn, hope you dont mind answering…
I need to hide scar that is dented inwards (like a hole): How can I pass my skin check round with that kind of flaw?
It’s visible with a normal concealer, so I’m wondering if covermark concealer can actually cover. Can I take a small clump of the concealer and ‘fill’ it up? haha :X
Pls advise!!
By: cappucinochips! on July 14, 2010
at 12:47 am
err… u can try.. keke.. but it sure looks funny ya ?
little dent is still ok… i mean.. its hard to find a perfectly flawless skin… dun let this little dent worry you too much and if its like.. somewhere not visible.. all the more you dun have to worry..
By: cabincrewkristine on August 3, 2010
at 6:37 am
Hi Kristine,
I was intending to buy your cabin crew secrets manual, but i have a light dented scar on my nose.
I really dont know how to cover it real well.
Do you think i should go for the interview??
Thanks
By: Magdalene on July 17, 2010
at 3:19 pm
hey dear,
just go try for the interview, small flaws like these are 20 cents problems =)
I am sure if you are meant for the job, they will take you in ^^
By: cabincrewkristine on July 18, 2010
at 7:55 pm
Dear Kristine,
I have a tattoo near at my hip but it will not show unless I wear a bikini or a midriff. Will I still be eligible? How will they check for scars and tattoos if its concealed in less prominent locations?
By: DY on July 26, 2010
at 1:08 am
Nope… they don’t check there..
as long as its not visible in a kebaya dress… its pretty much safe to try =)
By: cabincrewkristine on July 27, 2010
at 8:35 am
I understand that they’ll check on our teeth. But will having ‘imperfect’ teeth affect our chances?
I have slightly crooked teeth.
By: Crazed on July 26, 2010
at 8:44 am
Hello dear… it depends on how serious it is..
you dun need perfect teeth… but teeth does matter
By: cabincrewkristine on July 27, 2010
at 8:26 am
Talking bout hiding flaws, do stewardess need to have pure straight white teeth ??
By: Curious on September 2, 2010
at 3:09 pm
Hello dear,
judging from your post, you must’ve stumbled here from yahoo ya ??
Well.. Perfect set.. not exactly.. but nonetheless, its a service industry and image is ultra important… so.. having a nice set of teeth certainly helps when you smile.. afterall, smile is what brightens up any person’s day =)
By: cabincrewkristine on September 2, 2010
at 5:36 pm
Hi Kristine! Do you know where exactly in Bugis Junction sells Covermark? I’m trying the upcoming interview and I hope this concealer will work wonders! Thanks š
By: J on September 10, 2010

Hi J… you can go to the cosmetic section. Its at the first floor…. =)
By: cabincrewkristine on September 11, 2010
at 8:44 pm
for the skin check up, ive got this back acne and pimples here and there on my forehead.
am i still able to go for the interview?
what is the weight requirements btw?
thanks!
By: bebe on October 16, 2010
at 10:45 am
dear.. just go and try for the interview.
The tester will let you know if its allow.. and who knows.. if you are well liked by her… you might just go through.. =)
Cal yr BMI dear.. as long as its not over the healthy limit. =)
By: cabincrewkristine on October 19, 2010
at 4:31 pm
Hi kristine,
I have a dented in scar approx 3cm in between my eyes on my nose bridge. Will this significantly affect my chances? What about a slight popping up scar on the hand below the thumb joint?
Or.. even better, do you have any remedies that u can advise that’ll aid in the appearance of it?
Thank you so much
By: Elena on October 21, 2010
at 1:30 am
dear.. try covermark..
I am sure it’ll help to conceal small scars..
By: cabincrewkristine on October 27, 2010
at 1:05 am
Dear Kristine,
I have a small tattoo about 2cm on my wrist, will it affect my interview?
By: Joanna on November 29, 2010

By: cabincrewkristine on November 30, 2010
at 4:07 am
Do they check for stretch mark on your upper arm or any discolouration on areas that is totally covered by the Kebaya?
Please reply by my friend has been wanting to join but gets disheartened whenever she thinks of these..
By: Anna on December 14, 2010
at 2:31 pm
As long as it is covered, you should be fine =)
places to take note of is feet, hands, lower arms (from elbow down), neck and face areas.

Hi Kristine!
I’ve just found your website/blog recently and I have to say that it is absolutely fabulous! So, first up, I have to say kudos for the great job!
I’ll be attempting my first SIA interview on the following Saturday and I realized that I have quite a number of flaws during the skin-check round.
For one, I have natural arm hair which, in my opinion, is slightly thick.
Next, I have some light, relatively faded scars on my left inner lower arm caused by falling off a bicycle when I was a teen. My lower leg suffers from multiple scars caused by insect bites and stuff like that so I’m really really worried.
Lastly, I have slight discolouration and callouses/corns on my big toes -for reasons unknown off- and a slight dust of red dots at the area at my chest where I believe will be exposed after wearing the Kebaya.
I’ll be attempting to cover them up with concealer or BB Cream for scars, while attempting to remove the corns by natural remedies. However due to time constraints -it’s only 1 week away!- and other stuffs such as the arm hair -though I do own an epilator but I’m not really sure if I should use it in such a manner-, I’m not really sure if I’ll be able to make it through! ><
Can you please give me some tips and roughly gauge how much will the flaws above be affected if I fail to remove or conceal them? It will help me so very much!
By the way, I would like to purchase your book but I don't own a debit card and wonders if I can pay you by ATM transfer instead?
Love to hear from you soon and thanks in advance!
Raven
By: Raven on February 10, 2011
at 3:35 pm
Hi Raven,
For the natural arm hair, you just have to go with it. I have to admit, its going to affect the chances BUT pls dun shave just for the interview.. its NOT worth it…
The scar.. erm.. if its visible from the naked eye.. then.. its going to affect your chances
lower leg is not exactly a problem since it can be covered
As for the feet… err.. its also going to affect.. unless you are able to keep it clean and neat..
For all the negatives, do note that these are only opinions of yours only.. whereas they might not be as bad as you think they are.. so.. just go try if you really want the job dear.
Who knows what might happen =)
By: cabincrewkristine on February 15, 2011
at 10:09 pm
hey girls! just a little update here:
my friend’s friend went for last dec’s interview, and she said that there were 2 stages of skin check. the second time they were told to go without make-up on and they were also made to remove their make-up on the spot even if they didn’t have make-up on. so just be prepared… š
By: siena on February 11, 2011
at 7:15 am
Hey! Really wonderful tips up there..
I am just wondering would a scar from an operation which is at the wrist area affect chances of getting through the interview big time?
And also tattoo near the ending of the neck area going down the back, would it be hidden by the kebaya?
By: Lorraine on February 20, 2011
at 3:06 pm
hi dear..
its depends on how low the tattoo is but if its at the ending of the neck area.. no.. the kebaya can’t cover it.
And for a wrist scar.. it affects big time..
By: cabincrewkristine on February 24, 2011
at 4:49 pm
Dear Kristine,
My hands and legs do not have very nice complexion..
Do they emphasize at lot on the hands and legs?
Do i stand a chance…? =(
By: dina on February 21, 2011

Dear Kristine im a guy and have abit of scar and redness on my face can i cover with make-up,its ok for guys to wear makeup for interview
By: Jax on March 6, 2011

Hi Jax..
I dun exactly recommend guy wearing make up..
I would suggest you just go try for the interview and see how thing goes…
By: cabincrewkristine on March 9, 2011
at 2:35 pm
Hi Kristine,
I have a scar on my chest due to an operation. Will I be marked down?
The scar pops up a little but its of my skin colour. However, I suppose this cannot be covered with concealer. š¦
By: Carrie on March 13, 2011
at 2:58 pm
Dear,
if you wear kebaya or clothings that the scar can’t be seen, you’ll be fine..
By: cabincrewkristine on March 14, 2011
at 1:47 am
Hihi,
I googled for the pics of the S’pore gals in kebaya and I think it is low enough for the scar to be seen. Do I still stand a chance now? š¦

Go try dear… u never know..
By: cabincrewkristine on March 21, 2011
at 10:20 am
hi dear,
I have a 1cm wrist scar on my wrist but this is still slightly visible even after i use the covermark concealer. the scar color is slightly lighter then my own skin color.
Secondly can we wear watch to conceal the slit marks?
By: vivi on April 9, 2011
at 3:52 am
hi dear,
they’ll ask you to remove yr watch if i din rem wrongly. you can still try for it and see what they say =)

Hi Kristine,
Is it true that ladies will be asked to remove makeup for 2nd skin check round?
By: Louisa on September 9, 2011

from what I know.. no my dear….
but pls.. no thick makeup
By: cabincrewkristine on September 15, 2011

Hi Kristine,
I understand that there are two stages of skin check round. Round 2 and during the kebaya round right?
Which area of the body do they check during round 2 (skin check round)
and will they check the knee area during kebaya round?
Reason being i have a keloid scar on my left knee due to a bike accident.
The rest of the body im not worried about.
Appreciate your reply. Thank you š

Hello Kristie,
1. What is the cut off age for male cabin crew applicants?
2. The beautican will examine your skin close up, using any device or naked eyes?

hello, i love your blog and i want to buy your book
before going to the interview.
have a few questions though
do u need to be stripped down to bikini to be checked for skin?
or will they ask to take out shirt or pants?
are we checked in groups or
and is there any swimming exercise conducted to see if you can swim?
I feel like i have ugly toes but no problem with its complexion /
and is there any such thing as being too skinny? since bmi need to be 2 what if its not the ideal bmi.just asking:D

keke.. dear… stripped down ?
Nope dear.. they wun… =)
and nope.. they wun ask you to take out anything… everything is checked based on expose areas.. ie, neck line, upper back, anything below knee and elbow, face etc. =)
and for swimming… you will only go through the swim test during training… and not in the interview itself. Oh.. and you dun need to know how to swim to be a crew =)

Hi Kristine, I bought your book recently and have been busy internalizing it preparing myself for the Dec 01 interview! Guy here btw
Just like to ask u some stuff..
1. I have a slightly raised brown mole in the middle of my eyes, above my nose bridge, about same-sized as a regular mole; will this lower my chances?
2. I have slightly yellow but straight and shiny teeth, internal discoloration. Is that a major deal breaker?
Thanks for your replies! Your book is a great help š

hmmm…
for the mole… I guess i need to really see it to give a more accurate opinion.. but generally, should not be a problem.
As for the teeth… how bad is the discoloration ? If possible, i do suggest going for whitening… as it helps… for smile, as you know it.. is extrememly important..

Hi Kristine, how about large, unsightly open pores that are visible to the naked eye? Are they a guaranteed no-go at the interview too?
Thanks in advance for your time!

Hi Wei,
there is no “guaranteed”… if you do have flaws.. then its really up to you, on how to “win” the heart of the checker.. and get into their good books.. so that they can be slightly lenient..

hi kristine ,
just a quick question . i passed the skin test on the March intake .
However i failed the skin test on June intake .
Are they very mindful about pimples ?
i had a few mini ones , should i leave it or should i try to cover up ?
I’m a male here btw . I am quite puzzled about what’s their standard .

For guys, usually… just leave it.
They are not exactly very mindful about guy’s pimples.. but I would say, the overall apperance you present.. and how the imples may affect it. Ie, if it looks really “inflamed” acne kind, obviously, its going to affect yr chances.

sorry just to add on . i have past medical history . Ex : i fractured my shin bone before during army days but it recovered fully with verified doctor’s letter .
I have scoliosis , but a very minor one . The doctor also claim there isn’t any issue about it .
But im afraid about the medical round for these conditions .

usually, it should be of a matter. They have a certain acceptable for scolosis. But its never released to the public.

hi kristine, just like to ask if i have a birthmark on my hand which can be concealed, do i still tick “yes” for visible marks on the application form? thanks for your reply in advance!
