Get to know the talented NAHA finalists!
Name: David Maderich
Salon: Freelance
Finalist Category: Makeup Artist of the Year
Reason I became a makeup artist: To not only express my creativity, but to help women feel beautiful.
Best advice I ever received regarding my career in beauty: The best advice I ever received early in my career was to never turn down a job - you never know who you will meet and where that person can take you.
Best advice I would give to a new hairstylist starting out: The best advice I would give a new makeup artist is to practice, practice and practice a little more. Never look at your work like it's amazing - always look for flaws in your work and constantly try to improve.
