Every year, International Makeup Day is celebrated on 10 September, honouring not just makeup as a beauty tool but as a form of self-care, self-expression, and empowerment. Whether you're someone who enjoys a full glam look or a natural glow, makeup is more than just an accessory—it’s a way to feel and look your best, to explore creativity, and to boost your confidence.
Makeup holds different meanings for us all, but at its core, it allows us to express ourselves in unique and creative ways. Makeup is a form of self-care. The time spent applying makeup can feel therapeutic—it’s a moment to focus on ourselves, take a break from the world, and celebrate our own beauty. For many, it’s a daily ritual that boosts mood and confidence, setting a positive tone for the day. Sometimes this is the best part about stepping out of the house.
For professional makeup artists, makeup is not just a job—it’s our passion. Being able to transform someone's look and, in turn, uplift their spirit, is incredibly rewarding. Many makeup artists find deep satisfaction in helping others feel their best for significant moments in their lives, from weddings to photoshoots to special events.
A makeup artist’s job is more than applying foundation or eyeshadow. It’s about connecting with our clients on a personal level, understanding them, and using makeup to reflect their personality and vision. Seeing the joy and confidence that our clients experience when they look in the mirror after a session is what fuels our passion
On International Makeup Day, we celebrate the transformative power of makeup in all its forms. Whether you’re a professional makeup artist or someone who enjoys experimenting at home, makeup allows us to express ourselves, build our confidence, and engage in self-care. It’s about looking and feeling your best, embracing creativity, and empowering yourself and others.
