By Sharon Ndlovu

Moloto Nakeng
1.Who is Moloto Nakeng?

I am a 19 year old, self-taught Makeup
Artist and owner of "Reign Prim Studio",
from Mokopane.
? In addition to being a freelance artist,
Marketing student, model and Miss
Limpopo Photogenic 2016.

2.Why did you choose this kind of
profession and what influenced you?

Honestly it is not my profession but a
hobby which I fell in love with.
What influenced me is when people
(friends and family) asked me to do their
eyebrows, then after they'll tell me to
start a makeup artistry business since I'm
good with makeup.

3.Have you faced any challenges
so far and how do you manage to
overcome them in the beauty
industry?

Yes, managing school work, modeling
and a business is a lot of work and
obviously come with a lot of
challenges in different angles, therefore
I just put God first and He gives me the
strength to overcome every obstacle I
face and I'm grateful to face them,
they build me to be a stronger person
and gives me more knowledge in this
industry.

4. Do you do apply make up for
special occasions?
Yes, I do weddings, prom, photoshoots
etc.

5. If a client asks for a make-up
style that doesn't suit them, how do
you convince them to make the
right choice?
Before anything I ask my clients to
book a week or two before the
occasion and also book for a trail
makeup session which is optional, so
we can play around with different
looks that will suit them.
