There is a debate about whether a makeup artist is a necessity or frivolity at a photo shoot. I know you can do amazing things with Photoshop, but c’mon people – no makeup artist?! Has the world gone insane? As a former professional makeup artist, I will tell you exactlywhy you need a ‘MUA’ and how to get one for f-r-e-e.
Before you take my word for it, I’ll tell you quickly why you should listen to me. I was a professional MUA for five years before diverting to photography. I was the key artist for national television, magazine shoots and have done a gazillion weddings. Weddings where, I might add, the wedding photographers often found a way to get in touch after just to say they were amazed at the difference my techniques made to their job photographing the bride. So you can take it to the bank: sometimes, you will need a MUA. Ok. Done tooting my own horn. Back sufficiently patted.
