Your art just absolutely never fails to hit! It's so inspiring and beautiful and gives the same vibes as playing Skyrim or Zelda BOTW for the first time (koska se on innostavaa ja kotoisaa niin kuin open world täynnä seikkailuja, yksityiskohtia ja tarinoita).

You are very skilled and inspire me to do more art and improve as well! <3

Oh thank you! 🧡 I just happened to tell in the previous ask that Skyrim is one of my comfort games, I love the rustic, detailed but not too bright and clustered atmosphere. So I really love this comparison and compliment 🧡

And gosh as a mostly self taught artist it really means a lot to inspire people <3 I wish you a lot of inspiration with your art!

(Ja kiitos myös suomeks 🧡 mua on aina innostanu tehdä ennen kaikkea tarinoita ja ihanaa jos mun kuvituksista tulee samanlainen fiilis kuin näissä maailmoissa kulkemisesta)

Here's a really small painting of Skyrim's Rift-like landscape, because it's my favourite hold

#ask #enimmäkseen itseoppinut sillee et kävin Tammerkosken kuvataidelukion (suosittelut sille opinahjolle muuten)#mutta en oo hankkinu korkeempaa kuvataidetutkintoa #Suomessa tuntuu et kuvataideopinnot on aika pitkälle keskittyny joko muotoiluun ''fine art'' tai sit graafiseen suunnitteluun #eikä vaik animaatioon tai sarjakuvaan (nyt oon kyl jotai amk sarjakuvaopintoja muistaakseni nähny)#mut jeps ne ei sit innostanu niin paljon ja sillon kuvittelin viel et taiteen jatkaminen ei oo niin kannattavaa #ei sillä rakastan kyl käydä taidennäyttelyissä ja analysoida taidetta ja veistoksia mut ei oo motivaatiota ite tehdä sellasta taidetta!#joten kertomuksista kiinnostuneena menin sit opiskelemaan englannin kieltä ja kirjallisuutta #ei sillä kyllä siitäkin sai paljon mutta mua ei oo kyl luotu akateemiseen opiskeluun #(just rambling about my art and education and art education in Finnish in Finland)

Hi Laura!! If you’re comfortable could you talk about how you got into makeup artistry? I really want to apply to a makeup/beauty school and do maybe like a one year program, but the tuition + kit fee are quite expensive. I don’t know if it’s worth it :/ if you went to school for makeup would you say it’s worth it? Or is this something I can learn by myself/through the internet? Like will it be possible for me to get hired somewhere or am I gonna get laughed at in the interview if I don’t have the education lmaoo also I am talking about like bridal/fashion makeup, and not special effects makeup for film and stuff (even though that would be a super cool career and maybe something i can explore at a later time🤔) thanks love 💜

okay so this is a bit of a ramble i apologise in advance. you don’t need to go to beauty school to be a mua! i haven’t been to beauty school, i’m 50% self-taught and 50% done courses with companies like Estée Lauder, L’Oréal, MAC (these are mostly runway looks and editorial makeup) and I’ve also been to celebrity master classes (if you live in the UK I would 10000% recommend PLouise Academy in Manchester they have the best most informative masterclasses ever, mua mmmmitchell works with them a lot if you look on their TikTok they have some video tutorials too) All you need is a good portfolio, even if it starts as photos of your own makeup or friends makeup you’ve done. It’s so important to take a before shot too (and learn about skin if you’re serious about being in the industry it will give you a good advantage)

As for me I’ve always loved makeup and played around with it ever since I was little but I watched tutorials on yt (specifically Jamie Genevieve, NikkiTutorials and people my age will remember Tanya Burr lmao but she’s inactive now I think) anyways fast forward to 2015 I got rejected from MAC due to lack of experience and I was gutted I cried so much ahah (but they kept my face charts rude) ((ALSO FACE CHARTS ARE AMAZING FOR PRACTISE!!! 10/10 RECOMMEND)) after I was rejected at Mac I was really disheartened but my old hair salon was looking for an mua and offered me a position on a temp basis, using that as experience and building my portfolio I then worked for urban decay on the makeup counter alongside that. A couple years later I decided to take the plunge to go self employed bc the money is so much better and I loved being my own boss (mostly prom, bridal, festival and insta glam is my specialty) ANYWAY then COVID happened and I had to change jobs bc obvs mua weren’t allowed to work. I worked in an office and I hated it so much, now I work at another makeup counter (not sure if I’m allowed to say which one? Idk I won’t risk it) and do self-employed artistry on the side :)

When you’re starting out you put more money into it than you get I’m gonna be 10000% honest with you. But in order to grow and improve you need a good kit, can’t emphasise this enough. I could show you my kit staples if that’s something you’d be interested in though. Anyway sorry for rambling. If you love makeup and you enjoy doing it then I would 100% recommend pursuing it. There’s a lot of money in the industry these days and I’ve been lucky enough to meet some really amazing people doing what I do. I hope this helps angel! You don’t need beauty school! But masterclasses are amazing and usually much much cheaper!! Sorry it’s long!!!

i love early 2000's make up. it made women look beautiful & angelic. it truly accentuated their best features bc make up artists were actually artistically trained. now every "self taught" MUA tries to make every woman look like a kardashian . i blame scott barnes

About Wren Mao

Face Claim: Park Hye Min/ Ponysmakeup

Full Name: Wren Mao

Nickname: N/A

Age: 28

Sex: Female

Birthday: May 26th

Species: Homo superior/ Mutant

Relationship Status: Single

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Mother: Unnamed Mao

Father: Unnamed Mao

Siblings: Kelvin [Kel] Mao, Jaeyoon [Jae] Mao

Abilities: Gas Manipulation [Specifically neon gas]

Occupation: Makeup Artist

Bio:

The earliest memory Wren has is being left on the doorstep of a shelter when she was about four or five. Though she didn't figure out why until later, she never really held out hope that her parents would come back for her.

Wren was a quiet kid that preferred to keep to herself, and this usually kept her out of trouble or harms way. However, whenever she was antagonized, her anger would get the best of her. She has been involved in many fights over the course of her life, and they usually resulted in the target of her frustration getting hit with neon blasts and her being shipped off to another foster home.

At the age of sixteen, Wren ran away and chose to live on the streets. It wasn't an easy or cozy life, but self-hatred and a general distaste for other people made it seem like the only viable option.

At seventeen, after a year of stealing, maiming, and self-imposed isolation, Wren met a young man named Kai, another teen that was homeless. He remarked that he'd "seen her coming" [which would end up becoming an inside joke between the two]. She learned that Kai could see the future, or glimpses of it at least. Although she was wary of him at first, it was nice to know that there was someone else in the world that was as strange as she was. They "moved in" together, mostly for safety and convenience at first. Both were proficient thieves and con artists, and genuinely enjoyed each other's company. They began dating a year later.

[Kai's presence as a friend turned romantic partner was an integral part of Wren's growth during the end of her teen years and into young adulthood. He taught her to accept herself, encouraged her to pursue her dreams, and generally pushed her to see the good in the world, despite all that they'd been through.]

At the age of twenty-two, Wren lost Kai after an attempted b&e gone bad. She has carried that grief with her since, and blames herself for his death. Still, she managed to put herself through cosmetology school, and began working as an MUA full-time when she was twenty-four.

She'd been looking for her siblings since she was eighteen, and was finally reunited with them at Xavier's School For Gifted Youngsters the age of twenty-seven.

Wren would describe herself as having three moods: sad, angry, and neutral. She's not very outgoing despite the nature of her job, and rarely talks to anyone unless they speak to her first. Even then, Wren isn't normally sociable; short responses are common for her, even if she's interested in the topic of conversation.

She finds joy in her work and talking with her siblings. She also likes cooking, running, bad horror movies, and creating her own makeup looks.

She dislikes plenty of things, including being called "Miss Mao".
