Gaining experience in the field

Gaining experience is crucial for upcoming MUA's in this very busy industry therefore, I decided to throw myself into it!! This week, I was very lucky to have the opportunity to work with 4 of Thailand's most skilled makeup artists and photographers.
         My first day as an assisting MUA was very exciting. I had no idea where I would be working and who I would be working with, all I knew was that I would be working for a Swiss TV show. On arrival, I met the amazing David and Natalie, who informed me that I would be doing makeup for the Swiss version of "The Batchelor". I was so excited!! Working with all of the beautiful contestants, made my job very easy! They all had gorgeous sun kissed skin, and a natural bronzed complexion which is always easy to enhance with barely any base products at all.
          During the day, I found that I was amongst all of the back stage gossip which further added to the thrill of the day. All of the girls who we made up were extremely happy with the results, and went on to get ready for their night of dining with "the Batchelor" and a full night of shooting!! Sadly, I never did get to see the mysterious 'Batchelor' however I am hoping that I will be able to catch a glimpse of him on the series!(Apparently his is a Brad Pritt lookalike!!)




Unfortunately my camera did not do any justice for the above photo as it was already night and there was really poor lighting. However, she looked absolutely beautiful. Both of the girls wanted a dramatic smoky eye and fuller brows, with bronzed skin and a neutral/nude lip.

Here is a few of the products I used on both of these beautiful girls....
