Uche Natori's Makeup Masterclass: A Glamorous Success in South Africa
South Africa’s beauty enthusiasts recently had the extraordinary opportunity to attend an unforgettable makeup masterclass hosted by none other than London-based makeup artist, Uche Natori. Renowned for her stunning glam looks and expert techniques, Uche joined forces with L’Oréal Paris South Africa for an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the largest makeup masterclass ever held. This historic event took place in Midrand, Johannesburg, drawing an impressive crowd of 440 attendees who were eager to learn from the best in the business.
Uche, riding high in her “winning era,” shared her beauty wisdom with Africazine, discussing everything from upcoming makeup trends to her personal favorites. One trend she is particularly excited about for 2025 is what she calls “quick beats.” These are glam looks that are both easy to apply and striking. “I start with the undereye and build from there,” Uche explained, highlighting her method of using undereye contour, foundation, and setting powders. The result? A chic finish that’s quick yet polished.
When discussing the makeup trends she’d prefer to see left behind, Uche playfully critiqued the minimalist “clean girl” aesthetics that have recently taken the spotlight. “I’m the complete opposite of clean girl—I’m like, ‘Put the makeup on!’” she laughed, encouraging more adventurous applications and experimentation. Uche’s philosophy is all about fun and creativity in beauty, which is something she hopes to inspire in her followers.
Interestingly, despite her glam reputation, Uche revealed she often goes makeup-free when heading out. Her beauty bag staples for those rare occasions she does opt for makeup include a powder puff, full-coverage powder, blush, lip gloss, and a dependable setting spray. And when it comes to color, Uche is a self-proclaimed “pink girlie,” favoring a range of pinks, from soft pastels to rich mauves, to achieve a vibrant look.
For aspiring beauty influencers looking to carve their niche, Uche offers valuable insights. She emphasizes the importance of analyzing audience engagement to tailor content effectively. “My audience loves it when I just yap about literally nothing before diving into makeup,” Uche shared, revealing her personal approach to keeping her content relatable and engaging. Consistently refining one’s strategy based on analytics can significantly improve growth in the ever-evolving world of beauty influencing.
In a space where creativity meets technique, Uche Natori’s masterclass in South Africa has undoubtedly enabled participants to elevate their makeup skills while fostering a sense of community among beauty aficionados. As the beauty industry continues to evolve, Uche’s message of empowerment through makeup experimentation resonates strongly, encouraging everyone to embrace their unique style and express themselves boldly.
