The 5th LIST provides aspiring MUA’s with two important resources.
Firstly, a list of skilled makeup artists who are willing to mentor, instruct, or advise other mua's who are wanting such help.
And secondly, by viewing the portfolios of the Mentors, newbies can learn a great deal about what makes a top MUA.
To find a Mentor
1. Check the below list to see if there is a Mentor in your area
2. If there is, send a message to the Mentor telling them what help you are after. The Mentor will get back to you, telling you if they are able to help, and if so, how to proceed.
3. If there is not a Mentor local to you, put a request on this thread, and check back regularly as the Mentors list is regularly updated.
Any members willing to offer their assistance would be most welcome. Please note that we will carry out the simple vetting procedure of inspecting the volunteer’s portfolio and profile to ensure that their work is of a 'standard'. The volunteer will then be informed if they have been accepted, and then their details will be added to the appropriate part of the list as soon as practicable.
What does it take to be a Mentor?
It takes someone with….
1. …..an in depth knowledge of their industry
2. …..the willingness to share their knowledge with others
3. …..patience, and an understanding of what it is like to be a newbie
If you are assisted by a Mentor, it would be good to show your appreciation by adding a message to this thread. This will also encourage others needing help to seek out a Mentor.
WHEN POSTING EITHER A REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE, OR AN OFFER TO BECOME A MENTOR, PLEASE STATE YOUR INTENTIONS CLEARLY! _____________________________________
*These lists are updated as frequently as possible, but usually not immediately.
Constructive suggestions are helpful and appreciated.
THANKS!

I've got to run out for a while but will post this thread up in "Team Mayhem" as soon as I return to the studio. Please let me know if you have any immediate needs concerning volunteer help.
It's great that there is now a mentor list for makeup artists and I am so happy to be a part of it.
To new artists- please be sure to check out the FAQs in the makeup artist forum; it is a wealth of information and may even answer some of your questions!

You makeup artists really do have attention to detail!

The list is in it's very early stages being only launched today. Keep checking back and I am sure that there will be some great British MUA's joining soon.
ok i seriously love model mayhem and spent about 12 hours in the last two days on this website. it's the most amazing resource! Are there any NYC based make-up artists willing to mentor? And I am going to message every mentor on this list, just to give a heads up.
