| Ciel Noir - Beauty Blogger/Makeup Artist |
Ciel Noir: 8 years
CMB: When did you discover makeup & that you had a “gift”?
Ciel Noir: I realized I had a gift when I started making YouTube videos and it resulted in subscribers, positive feedback and opportunities to work with various brands.
CMB: Do you have a signature look you like to do/create
Ciel Noir: If I had to go with a signature look it would probably be natural hues on the eyes with a bold pop of color on the lips topped off with lashes and a soft gold toned highlight.
CMB: What color palette do you tend to gravitate towards & why?
Ciel Noir: I love natural everyday makeup looks derived from deep browns, coppers, and golds. I think these colors look amazing on brown skin.
Ciel Noir: I prefer classic timeless looks that can be recreated over and over again.
CMB: Influences & inspiration?
Ciel Noir: Scandalous Beauty, Destiny Godley, Jackie Aina, Alissa Ashley, & MakeupShayla
CMB: Do you think social media has been a benefit or detriment for Makeup Artists? And why for either
Ciel Noir: I think social media has had a positive impact on the makeup industry and influencers. I initially learned how to do makeup from social media. It allows like minded individuals to create a community where we are able to support one another and showcase our work. It also gives us the platform to promote ourselves and be involved in brand campaigns which help to generate revenue.
CMB: What do you love most about Makeup?
Ciel Noir: I love the transformational aspects of makeup.
CMB: What 1 Makeup item/product is your must-have?
Ciel Noir: MAC fix + spray. At the start of a makeup application it helps to blend foundation flawlessly and used after applying setting powder it gives the look an amazing dewy skin-like finish.
CMB: Why do think Makeup Artistry has become so popular online in recent years?
Ciel Noir: In my opinion makeup artistry is extremely popular on social media nowadays because the beauty industry generates billions in revenue and social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and online blogs have helped to bring awareness to different brands, techniques, and influencers worldwide. These resources have become more tangible and easily accessible.
Ciel Noir: I use Neutrogena face wash, a mix of apple cider vinegar and water as a toner, and cocoa butter as a moisturizer. I exfoliate and apply masks weekly.
CMB: If anything, what would you change about the beauty/Makeup industry?
Ciel Noir: I would like to see more women of color represented in advertising.
CMB: What has been your least favorite Makeup trend?
Ciel Noir: Those weird braided eyebrows (lol)
CMB: Must-do Makeup tip for the everyday woman?
Ciel Noir: Your skin is your canvas - take care of it. Also, do not sleep in your makeup. It increases the aging process.
CMB: What advice would you give an up & coming Makeup Artist or someone thinking about a career as an MUA?
Ciel Noir: If you are really passionate about being in the beauty industry put yourself out there. Find a platform. Things do not have to be perfect for you to start. Make steps to learn, practice, and elevate your craft.
CMB: Where do you see yourself 5 years from now.
Ciel Noir: Progressing as an influencer and doing more of what I love.
