Molly Brownlee
Is a Christchurch ‘make up’ artist (MUA) with a reasonably large following over Instagram and Facebook. Molly gained more followers when she had weight loss surgery.
Molly claims she has been working as a MUA for 15 years, however this statement is possibly untruthful as Molly has only recently turned 30 this would mean has been working as a MUA since she was 14/15 which most of us do not believe is possible as we have seen her work.
We do not know if she has any qualifications, this has not specifically been confirmed but it has been alluded too. Molly does not have a website showcasing her work and relies heavily on ‘word of mouth’ and Instagram to get bookings for make-up applications, group workshops and one on one lessons. She travels mostly around the South Island hustling for work, she will occasionally make an appearance in the North Island but that honour will cost the client big bucks as she will charge for travel.
One (of many) of our favourite statements by Molly is that she ‘doesn’t follow make up trends of the industry she works in.’
This in the past and currently has led to some embarrassing faux pas as clients having their make-up applied by Molly all end up looking the same – with lots of orangey foundation, big eyelashes all with the same-coloured lipstick and eye shadows.
Previous clients have confirmed on Tattle that Molly uses the same brushes on clients without washing them or changing the brush for each person. The Tattle client mentioned that she along with a group of other women were lined up in the toilets at a racecourse while Molly went to each person using the same tools and applying the same style on each lady – like a Police line up.
The quote from the Tattler that posted this information was “It was one of the worst experiences of my life”
Business Concerns
When you book with Molly prepare to be overcharged for what you are getting. Make up applications usually set you back $150 upwards – cash please and no invoice will be issued. A workshop can set you and your friends back $1500 plus travel.
As Molly has no website with a professional email contact be prepared for Molly to miss or forget about your booking as she regularly does not reply to DM’s, or they are in her other Instagram messages folder that she doesn’t check.
She will usually ask people to DM her again if they haven’t heard from her – “Um no thank you I have booked someone else when I didn’t hear from you!”
Life
Molly likes eating out, roasting and poking lamb, bagels and dumplings, buying Lancôme Drama mascara, not washing her make up tools or her face, being unreliable, having a boyfriend, burning through money once it hits her pocket and wearing frosted pink lipstick.
She has a talent for picking up friends and then dropping or ghosting them when she gets jealous or if good things are happening for them in their lives.
She does have two close friends, but they live far away and do not see her very much, hence why they are still friends.
Molly spends time with her poor old Mum who gets dragged into all sort of business and non-business situations e.g. driving Molly all over the South Island, selling her clothes for her at markets and picking up all tabs.
