Top Makeup Artists in Malaysia

Makeup has been used since ancient times for many different reasons. From hiding pores to creating a whole new face character, makeup continues to serve mankind.

Both men and women can use makeup. In ancient Egypt, makeup was used to express masculinity. Around 4,000 BCE, Egyptian men used black pigment to achieve elaborate cat-eye designs. During the first century AD, Roman men would apply red pigment to their cheeks and use powder to lighten their skin.

Unlike the olden days where people would use arsenic, leads, mercury and even leeches to make them look pale and beautiful, thankfully, we don’t need all that to enhance the way we look now.

If your hands are shaking each time you are trying to put makeup on, then perhaps you should hire a professional makeup artist to do it for you. Of course, you cannot hire one each time you casually need to put on makeup. But if you have an event to attend where you are required to wear makeup, then it is worth spending money on a professional makeup artist.

Here is a list of some of Malaysia’s top makeup artists for you to check out. Maybe you will find someone who will make you camera-ready for whatever function you have in the future.
