Muscat: Lamya Al Mawali, a passionate make-up artist based in Oman, started her journey about 10 years ago.
Lamya rose to fame after winning the ‘Maxfactor Make-up Artist Hunt 2012’.
This was the beginning, but her venture has been progressing well and creating new milestone every year.
For women, especially in this part of the world, make-up plays a crucial role.
Thus, a lot of attention is often paid to the intricate details that highlight and enhance a woman’s face. It is the portrayal of a woman’s mood and her personality.
Thus, over a period of time women begin sharing a close bond with brushes and pencils and develop an artistic adeptness when it comes to making use of makeup palettes on their faces.

All these skills were put to test at the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissah Resort and Spa when five finalists, out of the 50 budding make-up artists participating in the three-part competition, displayed their talents at the Maxfactor Makeup Artist Hunt 2012.
The artists were competing for the top prize, which was two nights’ stay at the Shangri-La Barr al Jissah Resort and one year’s supply of Max Factor make-up, valued at OMR500.
