Listen "Makeup Artist, Won Jo Yeon"
Episode Synopsis
She has loved drawing since childhood. Due to family circumstances, she had to attend a beauty academy instead of an art school, but it was an opportunity that opened her eyes to makeup at an early age. Starting her assistant career at the age of 22, she is now an 18-year experienced makeup artist. She has worked on almost every makeup-related task, including fashion shows, advertisements, magazines, and music videos. When asked about proud and happy moments as a makeup artist, she mentioned doing makeup for a Jeju friend's wedding and creating makeup for a close couple's 10th-anniversary celebration. Finding joy in making someone happy solely through her talent turned out to be unexpectedly heartwarming. Living in a western village in Jeju with her husband and dog, Jembe, she often takes evening walks, drawing inspiration from the colors hidden in the sunset for her makeup. Lately, she pays closer attention to the colors of Jeju's nature and incorporates them into her makeup. In 2024, she plans to publish her own picture book, featuring drawings of her friends' faces.
