If you love colour, follow all the latest makeup trends and want to turn your passion into a career, grab your makeup brush! Entries for the #SorbetMUASearch 2020 are officially open.
The Sorbet Makeup Artist Search 2020 aims to find 10 aspiring makeup artists who have the talent and passion, but haven’t had the opportunity of a formal qualification.
“When we launched Sorbet Makeup in March 2018, we packed our makeup formulations with “Do Good” benefits for the skin. We’re excited to expand this philosophy to our first ever makeup artist search and are truly excited to be inspired by the huge talent in South Africa," says Jamie Lane, head of Merchandise & Marketing at Clicks Group.
Choosing the top 10 winners is not going to be an easy task, but the Sorbet and Clicks team, together with the judges know exactly what they are looking for.
"We want people who are committed, passionate and bubbly (like Sorbet!). You need to be authentic and show us why you love what you do,” says Sapna Naran, Sorbet Group Marketing Manager. “As a makeup artist, it’s important to be able to connect with people on all sorts of levels, to communicate with them and make them feel comfortable. We'll also be judging on application, technique, use of colour and overall presentation.”
Judges for the competition are: celebrity makeup artist and beauty fashion anchor Nthato Mashishi; Glamour SA Beauty Editor Jesé-Ché Lillienfeldt; makeup tastemaker Itumeleng 'Tumi' Mokwatlo; makeup artist and hairstylist Kirsten Murphy Rossiter and social media content creator and professional makeup artist Vongai Mapho.
Glamour SA Beauty Editor Jesé-Ché Lillienfeldt says she can’t wait to see the looks that will be created. “It may take hours to perfect, in their bedrooms with a limited palette, but the finished product will give us a window into what can be achieved with the right training and opportunities."
Nomathamsanqa Mani, Sorbet product developer at Clicks Group believes that the competition will provide new inspiration for product development. “Sorbet Foundation has proven to be a great success with the Women of South Africa. We enjoy involving customers in our new product development decisions, and due to demand have just added 12 new shades in a full coverage Salon Pro foundation, and 5 new shades in our top selling Cover and Go foundation!”
The fabulous prize includes full training and qualification from the Beauty Therapy Institute of South Africa, full makeup kit with a professional makeup portable cosmetics travel trolley and makeup belt, and a Sorbet monthly spending allowance of R500 p/m for 12 months. The winners will also gain experience in working with both Clicks and Sorbet teams on photoshoots, events, in-store experiences and other great opportunities.
