Do you wear makeup every day or ever? That's the question that brought this challenge to life. And for this one, it's Claire saying YES to learning the ropes mostly because she rocks a natural look beautifully and gets professional makeup done only a few times a year.

PS: You can watch the VIDEO DIARY too on our YouTube channel before or after you listen to this audio episode.

Remember, this is Season 5 - which means there is one guinea pig, one challenge, and two experts.

Claire took an afternoon off to meet with the first expert to learn the basics of the professional trade: Sharon Achieng. Sharon is a certified makeup artist based at a beauty studio in central Nairobi but also works with clients wherever they are.

In the studio for this episode is Savina Mercy. Savina is a makeup artist and fitness and nutrition influencer. But most importantly, she has actually done the girls' makeup for Season 4 Yesticles. Need evidence? Check out the videos on our YouTube.

There is a lot to learn from this episode whether you do makeup or not.

Listen in if you're curious about Makeup tutorials, basic makeup steps, how to apply makeup, how to do makeup step by step for beginners, essential makeup tips, contouring techniques and tips, makeup brushes and their proper usage, exclusive makeup artist recommendations, and tips for anyone who would like to get started as a makeup artist.
