Mi Nguyen (Nguyen Thi Phuong) is a makeup artist for beauties such as: runner-up Thuy Van, runner-up Phuong Nga, actress Huyen Lizzie...

When doing makeup for celebrities, Mi Nguyen's biggest pressure is to "make their already beautiful faces more beautiful". Therefore, she has to carefully research how they attend events and what they wear, from there she has ideas for appropriate makeup and hair.

"In the early days when I accepted to do makeup for runner-up Thuy Van and actress Huyen Lizzie, I was quite scared. They are all very beautiful so I was careful, examining every brush stroke on my face. Runner-up Thuy Van is a television face so she never wants to wear makeup that is too heavy or too bold, standing out from others. In addition, she has a delicate face so she is afraid that her makeup will make her look old and fierce.

Actress Huyen Lizzie can tell if she has gained or lost weight by looking at her face, so I have to adjust the brightness and darkness on her face carefully. During filming, her skin became dark, so I had to apply 3 layers of foundation, which was very difficult. However, when she was out of character, Huyen Lizzie focused on skin care, so applying makeup became easier.

Runner-up Phuong Nga has porcelain white skin, so makeup is easier. However, Phuong Nga is a trend-follower very quickly. I always have to research the most fashionable styles to suit her," Mi Nguyen said.

According to Mi Nguyen, doing makeup for celebrities puts pressure on being meticulous, but most of their personalities are very easygoing.

"Miss Thuy Van is serious on TV but humorous in real life. Miss Huyen Lizzie and Miss Phuong Nga are very 'strange' and playful beyond my imagination when I think of a famous person," Mi Nguyen expressed.

Mi Nguyen also affirmed that the makeup profession is very competitive today, and that doing makeup for celebrities is a lot of pressure, but the salary "is not what people think".

"Sometimes doing makeup for celebrities is a mutual support and resonance, sometimes I get rewarded with a cup of milk tea. Doing makeup for businessmen, my income is much better," Mi Nguyen shared.
