We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Fariha M Rehan a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Fariha M , thanks for joining us today. Are you happy as a creative professional? Do you sometimes wonder what it would be like to work for someone else?
I am the happiest when I’m working and creating. I love how a simple splash of color can enhance someone’s natural beauty and boost confidence. I feel so proud of myself when my clients or models love the way they look after letting me make them up. I love the power of colors and I can’t picture myself doing anything else.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I am a double certified Makeup artist from New York. I specialize in Soft Glam, Bridal and Editorial makeup looks. Growing up, I had little confidence in my own looks and it really hit me hard emotionally. Learning the beauty of colors and different shapes of features, I started to love my looks and be confident as well.
I believe this is my core duty to make my client feel as naturally beautiful as I can, giving them a boost of confidence and radiance.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The most rewarding aspect of being a Makeup Artist is the confidence and happiness my client feels as soon as he/she is out of my chair. The twinkle in their eyes, the blush in their smiles, it’s all so rewarding to me.
Emotionally sometimes I see the reflection of my own younger self in their smile and I feel so proud of myself!
Any insights you can share with us about how you built up your social media presence?
Consistency is the key. Always take time out to make good content. I’m still learning, I make mistakes and sometimes I feel like it’s not good enough. Trust me it is! Quality matters over quantity. Believe in your original content and just keep on going. Don’t ever compare yourself to anyone, just do what you do best and keep it consistent.
