The CEO and founder of the Muba cosmetics brand, which is expected to sell in Ecuador, briefly talks about its proposal and work.

From the beginning of the Miss Universe contest to the present, how has the conception of highlighting beauty changed through makeup?

It has definitely changed too much since my guideline focuses on justice for each contestant.It is my duty to give the best equitable service for all candidates enhancing the beauty of each one with only neutral colors, the dark coffee being the best look in cameras.

Si bien es cierto ha dicho que en el maquillaje no hay tendencias o que estas no son aplicables para todas, muchos expertos en makeup continúan con las técnicas de contornos, sombras e iluminación.Do they stay or not?What is the novelty now?

In my world there are no trends, I consider myself an artist that has no limits and my purpose in my industry, which specializes in beauty queens, is the enhancement and speed of makeup, that is why the contours are not necessary sincethrough techniques that teach can be evaded and at the same time have the same effect.In the same way the illuminator does not work, since in cameras it tends to look fatty.

If the makeup depends on what you want to highlight in each person, why do makeup artists, or most apply the same techniques and the face is covered by several base layers?

Because social networks are so accessible that most people or colleagues learn from them and in their minds understand that it is fashion without actually focusing on the individual person in which they are working.It is important to work with what each one works without stamping the same in all.

We are about to end the year, what colors have been marked strongly in the makeup proposal?

Always faithful to my earth and neutral colors, but for parties with a more daring look, such as Smokey Eyes with very dark coffees.

He has worked with the Mexican Andrea Meza, the current Miss Universe, in her what kind of makeup and techniques apply for her day to day?

Yes, the last time the make -up was for Latin Billboards in the Network Carpeten Miami.Andrea Meza is less is more and her cheekbones are what I like most to accentu for the best thin face dimension.
