Ellie Zuker talks assisting and how she got the gigs on Fashion Week and Neighbours.

Send us Fan MailThe Makeup Insider is a weekly one-on-one podcast exploring the life and career of makeup artists, hosted by freelance mua Vanessa Barney. This week: getting personal with Ellie Zuker, makeup artist, hairstylist and life-long learner. Learning is incredibly important. No matter what industry you’re in. The thing about learning is, while you may not take everything in – you take onboard the information you think is important and you go on to develop your own ideas, style and success based on what you’ve learnt.  You should never stop learning. Whether it’s a course, a masterclass or assisting – so long as you’re learning something new. Ellie is a life-long learner. She loves assisting (both paid and unpaid jobs), which has helped refine her technical skills, grow her industry connections, and nail the art of being on set.  And a little reminder from Ellie when it comes to self-doubt, ‘you need to stop comparing yourself to others… just because you’re not booked out every weekend, doesn’t mean you’re not successful. Take a step back and look at all the amazing things you have done or achieved.’ The Hair Edit Waitlist Weekly Newsletter Follow TMI on IG Follow Vanessa on IGThe Makeup Insider Blog The Makeup Insider TikTokThe Gifting Checklist
