Life of a Professional Makeup Artist in Singapore
The life of professional makeup artists can be enjoyable and a little challenging at the same time. Ever wondered what Autelier’s makeup artists do on a daily basis? Let’s have a peek into their lives and find out!
1. Multiple events
It is common for our makeup artists to attend many events ranging from styled shoots to collaborations to weddings. Since each event requires a different makeup and hair look, our artists are well-versed in a variety of looks.
2. Flexibility
Makeup artists generally enjoy flexibility in terms of their work schedule. Schedules are never fixed as client appointments differ every day.
3. Work-life balance
Since there is flexibility, there is work-life balance for makeup artists. They do not necessarily have to work in the studio everyday. However, some weekends will have to be burnt to attend events. On weekdays when they are not working, they can be found shopping in the malls without the dreadful crowd!
4. Intensive practice and research
On days where our makeup artists do not have makeup assignments, they are found working on their craft to perfect their bridal hair and makeup looks! Aside from that, they will also research on the latest bridal industry trends during their free time.

5. Overseas pre-wedding shoot opportunities
Almost on a monthly basis, our makeup artists do enjoy great opportunities to travel quite frequently for overseas pre-wedding shoots.
6. Every day is a surprise
There is the idea that every day presents something fresh and new for a makeup artist. Life is neither rigid nor repetitive. However, some may perceive this to be a challenge. So if you’re up for new challenges, this will be your cup of tea.
Being able to witness the many beautiful moments of the couples we have worked with is truly a blessing. Here are some wedding highlights that we would like to share:
7. Living life to the fullest
Last but not least, our makeup artists are able to live life to the fullest by doing something they are passionate about as a career. Despite the odd hours that they have to wake up at times, making their clients beautiful gives them immense satisfaction and motivates them to keep going!
At the end of the day, witnessing the looks of happiness on our brides’ faces is truly priceless and irreplaceable. When our brides are satisfied with our hair and makeup services, sacrifices such as getting up in the wee hours of the morning are worth it. Everything is made worthwhile.
