We had the good fortune of connecting with Mehrnoush Moslemi and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Mehrnoush, why did you decide to pursue a creative path?
When I enrolled in college back in 2012 I had the intentions of becoming a plastic surgeon or a dermatologist. My main goal was to help people & make them feel beautiful, no matter their age, race or background. Once I realized that the medical field wasn’t something I wanted to pursue, I discovered my love for makeup. Makeup has given me the ability to teach, inspire & help my clients feel beautiful. Whether it’s for their wedding day, birthday or just a fun night out, there is no better feeling than seeing their reactions when they see how amazing they look. Working in a creative industry give you the opportunity to be yourself and share your skills with the world. It’s an incredible feeling to find a career that you love & that truly makes you happy.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
In the makeup industry it’s never a challenge to stay busy. Things are constantly changing and you have to keep up. Makeup trends are changing every day and as a artist working in the industry you have to make sure to stay on top of what’s hot and current. Trends can be anything from a new way to apply foundation, a new must try product, a fox eye look or fluffy brows. If you’re not on top of trends you can run the chances of losing clients. Doing your research is key. With social media being so accessible it makes it easy for you to see what’s hot, what will keep your clients happy & why they should come back to you. Another thing that keeps me busy is busy season, which is my favorite. The busy seasons for me are weddings, prom Valentine’s Day, Christmas and Halloween. Those are peak times of the year for makeup artists because everyone is celebrating with their loved ones and taking pictures so they want their makeup to look flawless for their timeless photos.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My parents have been there for me since day one of starting my career. Whether it was to take me makeup shopping or dealing with my crazy looks that were done in the middle of the night for Halloween, they have always been there so a huge thank you goes out to them.
