 Introduce yourself and profession to our readers: My name is Marva Stephens, professionally known as MJ on the Beat. I am a Makeup Artsit & Skincare Professional based in Anne Arundel County Maryland. What inspired you to pursue this area of interest? I've always been into all things beauty & vanity. What inspired me to pursue makeup professionally was my love for fashion, style, art & my creativity. I look at faces as canvases. Skincare came naturally, once I mastered how to apply makeup correctly, I became obsessed with perfecting the skin underneath. A picture is only as beautiful as its canvas, I want to make the natural canvas as flawless as my makeup application is! What advice would you share with those interested in a similar pursuit?
Do it! Don't talk yourself out if it just because there are many individuals in this industry. Find your niche & perfect it. & always be a student, continue to learn. Discuss a professional challenge and how you overcame it: I work in the fashion show environment a lot. & there are always time constraint situations. As a professional MUA, you have to learn to be efficient & timly. Time management is key. There are also those challenges where you've just done beautiful work on a model & now she's crying! Learn to improvise & be quick in your thoughts & your process! What is next for your brand/business in 2017? I really want to get my new studio, MJ's Face Atelier in Odenton, MD, well known in the area. I want to start classes to teach my makeup techniques. & of course I want to continue my work in various Fashion Week's & Television makeup.
