• Work confidently with cream and liquid formulas for natural, real-world finishes
• Recreate consistent, brand-approved looks (see our website mattedewey.com)
• Maintain exceptional hygiene, sanitation, and guest experience standards
• Support smooth service flow and consistency across the makeup bar

• Strong experience with high-end/pro brands including: Danessa Myricks, Viseart, Charlotte Tilbury, Hourglass, Fenty Beauty, Makeup by Mario, RCMA
• Advanced complexion and skin-focused artistry
