Singer Eva Alordiah talks about music and makeup.

Eva Alordiah is a rapper, singer, dancer, model and makeup artist. In an interview with jasmine at mySkinMakeupHair, Eva talks about how she started  her work as a makeup artist, and how she combines being a music artiste and a makeup artist.

I understand you dabbled into makeup artistry at a very early age. Can you tell me more about your start?

Yes i did start very early. i was 15 at the time and i just knew i could do it. My first love was eyeliners and it gradually built on from there. I guess thanks to the fact that i could draw being a fine artist at the time drawing on paper, it was an easy transition for me to draw and paint on peoples faces. I found it amusing, exciting, powerful – just to be able to create different looks time and again and be in control of how something or somebody looks.

I started from doing my own makeup and having all my friends admire it everytime, then i began to do makeup for all my friends and it picked up from there.

How is it that you can combine being a Music artiste and being a PRO Makeup artist

I find them both fulfilling in their different ways. I guess these are just extensions of me being a creative person at heart. So whether it is writing, designing, drawing, creating music or makeup artistry, as long as I am creating something then its just relatively natural for me.
Music and makeup both serve their purpose for me. Its all work and play when they happen. What I do is focus on what it is I am doing one at a time. So if I am at the makeup school teaching for instance, I couldn’t be bothered with what’s going on with my music in the studio and so on.



**Beauty and Talent, a good combination.
