Based in the United Kingdom an intelligent young artist is coming to life and blossoming in an art form that requires the human body to reveal its self. Christine Zemura Mua a young, energetic and enthusiastic make-up artist is taking the world by storm with her impressive artistic form of facial make-up. As this industry proves to be non other but talent based one tends to wonder how you end up doing it. Born in a small mining town called Zvishavane in Zimbabwe and raised in Chitungwiza also known as Chi Town, Christine now based in the UK talks about how she came to be a make-up artist.
Becoming a model for her was a dream come true, but as the her journey continued she moved into make-up and began loving it so much she was a natural at it. Currently a freelance make-up artist her work is growing more and more impeccably brilliant. The twenty one year old make-up artist and the first born in her family has broken boundaries and is probably one of the youngest make up artists of her time, as she describes that "make up is my life" it is actually present visually within her work. The amazing part of her talent is that she only began doing it early this year, and is already working on backstage make up sets like the famous X-Factor UK with the contestants and renowned photographers.
Christine is currently studying for a degree in accounting, but when asked which of the two professions she would prefer her answer came swiftly with no hesitation "being creative, but my degree is also important to me". Deriving her inspiration from her family back home in Zimbabwe she intends to put all the resources in her way to good use. I asked her what makes her work so good, and her answer was simple "practice makes perfect" and to other artists out there don't get discouraged, focus and follow your dreams. Awards given for this type of profession in the entertainment industry include Academy Award for Makeup and even several entertainment industry awards such as the Emmy awards the Golden Globes to name a few, only time will tell how far Christine plans to explore her gift.
