Arber Bytyqi is a talented makeup artist based in Prizren, Kosovo. With now over 298K follows on Instagram, Bytyqi has gained an impressive internet fame thanks to his stunning transformations. He even has a studio located in the city of Prizren where he creates these awesome looks.
Clearly, Bytyqi has a true talent in cosmetics, creating refined and air-brushed looks, and is making quite the splash as a beauty influencer.
Many of these bridal transformations and other makeup creations, such as Prom-glam and professional modeling looks, can be found on his growing Instagram page. He has been involved in other campaigns and designs for various brands, showcasing his unique style.
With all makeup looks, it’s important to remember how different everyone’s faces and styles are.
One look that might be breathtaking on a certain bride, might not fit the exact theme that another bride is going for. For some brides, certain tones and hues might compliment her skin and overall appearance, though not look as good on another. It’s easy to tell from Arber Bytyqi’s work how he intuitively knows how to best contour and highlight certain features, flawlessly blending out and creating polished, custom looks for each of the brides.
“I got interested in makeup when I was just a child,” Arber Bytyqi said in an inerview with Bored Panda. “The first drawings that I did were of eyes, girls or dresses. I used to take my mom’s make-up and play with it when I was only five years old, so I knew that I’ll become a makeup artist pretty early.”
Arber went in to say in the same interview, ““When I meet my client, the first question I ask is what kind of occasion are they getting their makeup done for. I also ask my clients if they have any specific requests. For example, if they want a natural or dramatic look. Then I ask them [to show me] the dress that they are going to wear. The design of the dress and its details reveal the style of the look the client is going for. Then, I analyze their facial features.”
According to Arber, he creates unique makeup looks for over 1,000 brides each year, particularly in peak wedding season – summertime.
Arber called the summer season “very demanding”, with he and his team doing makeup for over 60 brides in a single day. However, Arber has called his career in the beauty industry as his “dream” and was determined to follow it even as a young man.
Arber Bytyqi revealed that when he finished high school his family was not supportive of him following his dream to become a makeup artist.
Apparently, in Arber’s culture, it is taboo for a man to be interested in traditionally feminine fields, such as beauty. After getting his master’s in economics, Arber went on to pursue his dream of being a makeup artist, finding international success and viral fame by sharing his creative and gorgeous transformations.
Certainly Arber’s work has created a stir on the internet and garnered a wide array of opinions – we can’t wait to see what other stunning makeup looks he’ll create.
“Makeup is like jewelry for the face. Play with colors and shapes. Don’t be afraid to transform yourself. At the end of the day, you can just clean it,” Arber suggested for anyone wanting to experiment within the beauty world.
