The customer interactions I’m having are making people so much happier and thankful for their visit to our store. I think what’s surprised me most has been how much joy makeup can bring to people. Is there anything about working in-industry that has surprised you? All those years struggling through hospo jobs has blossomed into working in an industry I am genuinely passionate and interested in! I love showing up for work and I no longer feel as though I’m wasting time working a job, I’m not happy in! Getting to work with makeup and talk as a professional artist gives me so much confidence and fulfilment! I feel like all my hard work has been paying off. I never even thought being a professional makeup artist was something I wanted until I started at TM! Tell us about working as a professional makeup artist? Two shifts in and Melbourne went into their snap lockdown, so I’ve still not had too many shifts! I was however recognised as a “Morphe Babe Superstar” for my engagement with customers which was awesome!Įveryday I’m feeling so much more confident to talk about makeup with people and recommend them some of my favourite products.

What are some of the opportunities working at Morphe that you have done? I work as a casual Beauty Artist at Morphe Chadstone, and I love it! It is so much fun and everyone is so lovely! The Morphe Chadstone store was hiring, and it couldn’t have happened at a better time! I applied and had a phone interview the next day to which the manager said, “this phone interview has been so great I don’t even need to confer with the other managers, you have to come in for an audition!” Patience came through for me this time round! I kept working my hospo job until one shift I cracked it and began trying to look for work again! I just had to get out. The day I went to finally apply for it, it had been taken down. Tell us about your role at Morphe and how did it come about?Īt the beginning of the year, I was looking at a Morphe job in Melbourne Central but didn’t feel confident enough to apply. So, I chose makeup, I have a passion for it and there are so many opportunities in the industry, hence me choosing to study at TM! I’m originally a QLD boy and moved to Victoria to study my Bachelor Music Theatre in Ballarat! Through my love of performing, I discovered Drag which then brought me to my love of makeup! I’ve now been doing Drag for over 3 years and when I graduated from my degree and the world went into lockdown, I discovered I needed a more reliable income then just performing. What was your path to TM and why did you choose to study the CUA51015 Diploma of Screen & Media? We caught up with him to learn more about his work and journey to studying with T.M. Nathan landed a role with Morphe as a beauty artist in just his second term of study makeup with T.M. Hailing from Queensland, Nathan moved to Victoria to study a Bachelor Music Theatre in Ballarat and discovered his love of Drag and all things makeup!
