MUAH (Make-Up Artist & Hair)

MUAH is a widely used abbreviation on call sheets, casting calls, and social media. The MUAH collaborates with the photographer on the overall look: make-up, hairstyle, and sometimes basic retouching. A skilled MUAH significantly reduces post-processing time since the skin is already shoot-ready on set. For commercial and beauty work a dedicated MUAH is practically essential. Always share the model's colour analysis with the MUAH so make-up and palettes match the skin undertone.
