ELLE New Talent Make-up Artist Search Awards


The final of the ELLE New Talent Make-up Artist Search took place at Idasa Restaurant in Cape Town last week, attended by big names in the beauty industry and hosted by the lovely Tammy-Anne Fortuin. Naturally, Wilde was there.

While guests and judges sat back, idly sipping and stirring their drinks, the finalists were hard at work beautifying their models. This was quite the challenge - not only making the models more beautiful than they already are, but having to do so in only 30 minutes. The creative juice was flowing in liters, each finalist sipping on a carton of Wilde as they rushed about to complete their make-up masterpieces.

Finally, after much deliberation and discussion among the panel of judges, the show was stolen by Zakhele Mhlongo, or rather by the model flaunting his meticulous handiwork. As the New Talent Make-up Artist 2011, this talented young artist has a bright future ahead of him. Congratulations Zakhele, we wish you the best of luck!
