Hello Readers!
It’s
been 3 years that I started to blog about my passion for makeup. Some of you
may be curious about my job scope, how do I get in here and my working
experience in makeup industry. Well I could say, it does take great effort to at
this stage, having my own company established, own a personalized website, good
clientele, affiliates and referrals. But it is worth it.
Passion
for Makeup
My
first makeup encounter was at aged 7, putting on red crayon on my lips! Thank
God, I did not suffer from poisoned. I am always amazed how a woman
could look so refreshing and gorgeous after a makeover. Even at teen years, I
started to apply some light makeup and purchasing some cosmetics. Of course,
the schools prohibited us from applying makeup. So I saved that for hangout,
parties and special occasions.

Then,
I decided to enroll a professional makeup artist course in local town.
Everything is new to me and I found it exciting! Finally I got my first makeup
kit which cost me a bomb. Throughout the course, I learned from my mentor, Kenz
Ooi. He taught and trained me in many ways which I would never learn from the
Internet or books.
At
the same time, I have started to do my freelance work as a makeup artist. The
first step that most students will never take before graduating. Well, I would
say that I am determined to excel.
My
Job as Makeup Artist Trainer

| With Amber Chia |
Well,
after graduated from the makeup academy, I was trained by mentor during my internship.
This is my turning point of my life. Basically I learned everything from
reception, sales, marketing, photography and management apart from training
students. There will be few beauty pageants, fashion shows and photo shoot
session that we attended together. Though hectic and exhausted, but I never
regret to gain such exposure be it entertainment or makeup industry. I am glad
to be part of his team.
On my own Feet

Times
goes by, and I decided to step out and be at my own feet. I was introduced by
my friend to join their wedding centre. From there, I started building up more wedding
portfolios and conducting personal makeup course at the same time. Participated
in wedding fairs, giving sponsorship to affiliates, attended beauty trade and
seminars. Invested on company branding, set up a personalized website,
brochures, office fixtures and fittings and of course, upgrading my cosmetics
brands. All these had taken my time and savings to start up my own company.
Well,
even though it is still a long way to go, but I still love my job! Yes, we may face challenges along the way but it is also long term learning. Staying POSITIVE AND PASSION is the key to success.
I love
brides getting a makeover for their wedding day! You will want to be at their
best MUA of the day. It is the PASSION. I believe passion brings us to deliver
our work with value and building long term relationship with clients.
