I don't know about you, but when a make up artist talks to me on a personal level, it almost makes me feel starstruck, like Ive met a famous celebrity, especially as in the past, a few, as busy as they are, chose to ignore my messages and emails and are just generally difficult to get hold of.
So, when London based professional make up artist Zukreat, took time out of her busy schedule to reply back to my emails and tweets, I instantly took a liking to her and not just her work. As opposed to most MUA's, not matter how big or small, she appeared professional, friendly and down to earth. As a make up artist, entrepreneur as well as a devoted wife and mum you can just imagine how busy her schedule must be, but one thing Ive seen for certain is that she always makes time for her many followers.
I first came across Zukreat when I extensively searched around for a make up artist that specialised in Arabic make up purely out of interest and her name frequently came up. With her being of Arab origin herself, it intrigued me more. But it was only when a good friend of mine told me about her and her fabulous work and seeing how Zukreat did her make up on a number of occasions, including her registry and wedding day, made me decide she was definitely worth looking into.
Her talents just don't stop there though. Having worked in the make up industry with several leading make up brands for more than fourteen years, today she boasts a highly successful make up and hair profession ranging from Asian bridal make up and hair, media and fashion make up, exotic Arabic looks, celebrity inspired looks, several published work, a highly rated You tube channel, her own professional training academy and now her much awaited launch of her own line of make up and brushes from her 'Artist of Makeup' brand. Whats more, recently she snapped up the opportunity to do Senior VP of Internet retailing giant marketamerica and creator of cosmetic line Motives, Loren Ridingers make up during her trip to the UK, better known as close friend of Kim Kardashian. Yet, despite all this under her belt, she still appears humble and doesn't brag.
- Zukreat with Loren Ridinger
Zukreat often encourages her fans to subscribe to her You Tube channel, follow her on Twitter and like her Facebook page and I didn't hesitate in doing all three. I wanted to keep up to date with her fabulous work, competitions, her fantastic give aways, make up and beauty tips and many more.The thing with Zukreat is that theres never a dull moment, each and every uploaded video and work is engaging, clear and straight to the point in her smooth, soothing voice.
It was only recently I came across a competition of hers on her You tube channel to suggest in true Zukreat style, creative and quirky names for her many eyeshadows, the winner yet to be announced would receive nine complimentary eye shadows of their choice! Needless to say, I jumped at the chance in submitting my ideas, in fact, it would be safe to say I got a little too excited in doing so! I just imagined how amazing it would be to actually use an eyeshadow which was named by me and receive nine fantastic colours of my choice....provided I was a winner of course.
Her website says very little about the AOM launch and products as it is still all very much in the pipeline, although Zukreat has informed her fans that the much awaited launch will take place end of July, beginning of August. In fact, she has no problem with any questions thrown at her and politely answers them. but what I find likable most of all is her ability to share her tips and products used, although it is known that a good make up artist never tells, Zukreat doesn't hesitate in revealing her impressive collection of make up products and shades when asked and talks you through the process step by step, unlike many make up artists I have come across.
More recently though, Zukreat posted a video of her fantastic finalised 22 set of professional AOM brushes, which along with other products in her range, she extensively uses in all her tutorials. With 22 brushes that will only be sold as a set, you really cant go wrong whether you are starting out with make up or a freelancer wishing to add it to your kit, and with a brush for everything, what more could you ask for. I for one, definitely CANNOT wait to get my hands on these and yes the leather case come free with it!
On closer inspection, it is obvious that her cosmetics line consists of good professional quality products. Just subscribe free to her Youtube channel and see for yourself. For instance, her eyeshadow palettes are highly pigmented, easy to apply and last all day long, without the heavy price tag she assures us.
Similarly, her range of foundations, highlighters and blushers create a flawless finish with a little going a long way, again are affordable for both professional as well as personal use. Zukreat has clearly used her business mind here in regards to retailing, whilst she has kept her prices low and affordable, she clearly hasn't skimped on quality. Whats more, she frequently seeks the opinion and welcomes all feedback of her consumers in regards to names, packaging etc just so that they feel involved in the whole process, again, something you rarely find with most make up artists/entrepreneurs.
Putting all the above aside, I cannot WAIT for the 'Artist of Makeup' launch and its safe to say, it could possibly be the best on line launch of the year yet. It has already had a humongous amount of interest and positive responses on line and I am sure Zukreat is just as excited as we are! The 'Artist of Makeup' range definitely looks worth investing in and I am certain Zukreat's products will be flying off their shelves! My mini kit for one will certainly consist of these amazing products, no doubt about it.
Now now, ladies form an orderly queue...
