She sang choir, played the oboe and the clarinet and loved Cirque du Soleil. ?My mom and I would do a lot of community theater, and one of my favorite parts was the dress rehearsals and actually performing, because I got to play in my mom?s makeup,? she says. So when the 23-year-old started doing makeup tutorials, she wanted to incorporate that same love of performing onstage. Just like any great show, Muslimah?s makeup tutorials start with pre-production: choreographing to the music, timing all the transitions and rehearsing the final reveal. ?All the choreography, that?s all strategized and written down before I even film,? she says. ?There?s just a whole bunch of notes on all the looks that I?ve done. It?s like a game plan.? The final touch to creating a showstopping makeup tutorial, Muslimah says, is to ?just have fun and live your fantasy.?
