Participation in the MUBA Hair & Makeup Department is completely optional. Every contestant is welcome to prepare herself independently or work with the MUBA team. We respect that this is a competition, and each delegate has the freedom to choose the beauty approach that best represents her.
For contestants who choose to receive services from MUBA, please review the following guidelines:
FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED
- Our Hair & Makeup Department operates on a first come, first served basis.
- Appointments are not scheduled. Contestants are welcome to visit the department whenever they are ready, and services will be provided based on artist availability.
- When a professional becomes available, the next contestant in line will be assigned to that station.
ARTIST ASSIGNMENTS
- To ensure fairness for both contestants and our professional team, artists and hairstylists are assigned based on availability and workload.
- Our goal is to maintain a balanced distribution of services so that every artist has the opportunity to contribute equally throughout the competition. This allows us to provide a consistent experience for all contestants while ensuring that no individual artist carries a disproportionate workload.
- For this reason, contestants are not permitted to select a specific makeup artist or hairstylist. Assignments are made exclusively by the MUBA coordination team.
BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
To help our artists provide the best possible service, we recommend that you:
- Arrive with clean, moisturized skin.
- Arrive with clean, completely dry hair + extensions or wigs.
- Bring all of your basic personal makeup and hair products.
- Have your hair extensions or hairpieces prepared and ready for installation.
- Bring reference photos of your desired hair and makeup look.
