That's Larry beside me. (pardon the one behind me. Hehehe) Thought it'll be nice to feature someone I know who's a professional & infamous MUA here in Singapore.
Larry was my first few seniors that I get to work with during my first few years. One fact that I can never forget about him was, he used to talk like a bullet train. I hardly managed to learn something from him, without asking him to repeat what he said. Hahaha... Funny. And yes, he is an amazing artist & yes I agree with his (often brutal) honesty.
"Which colour suits me?"
".....is this one natural? (points to blue eyeshadow)"
"Your lipstick quite expensive, hor? (while carrying a super expensive leather bag)"
"I have sensitive skin..."
"...but I also want the makeup to be natural and not too thick."
Well, pretty common & true. Plus if 80% of your customers for that day came with these questions, for sure you'll want to end your day at work faster than ever.
I know we as MUA are there to educate these kind of people. But.....if a pink color lipstick like the Bandung drink is what they call NUDE, then I surrender. I'll just be staring at them with a smile & nod. Just so if that makes them happy. (After which, I'll be slapping my forehead in disbelief.)
It's a good read & I'm looking forward to many more of the #TuesdayWithLarry. For sure I don't have to ask him to repeat what he said this time. :)
