It's always a dream of everyone, especially women, to look great on their big day. Be it a wedding, baby shower or even birthday, women will invest heavily in such occasions so as to look great. From buying that expensive dress, a pair of high heels and hiring makeup artists, they will do anything to look perfect just for that event.

But most get disappointed by the so-called makeup artists. They are left looking like scarecrows or the walking dead. Nyota Ndogo has been a victim of makeup gone wrong. (Click on the link below to read more)

Well, a few days ago, Keroche Breweries heiress Anerlisa Muigai celebrated her 30th birthday but she wasn't happy with her makeup artist. According to Anerlisa, her makeup artist did a shoddy job, leaving her looking like a 'clown' on her big day. She was forced to hire another one to help fix her face.

Anerlisa took to social media to credit her second makeup artist for a great job, but this did not go well with her first choice.

"I know the video is late but Ohh well since it's here I might as well post. I also want to apologise for showing up a bit late, sometimes you call some makeup artist to do your make up but end up making you look like a clown, I had to do it all over again after sitting for over 2 hrs and that made me late...Thank you," she wrote on Instagram.

The accused makeup artist, who claims she has known Anerlisa for almost 10 years, came out to defend herself, claiming that her job was well done. Check out the screenshots

The distraught makeup artiste went ahead to share photos of Anerlisa Muigai flaunting her well-done makeup face from previous makeup sessions with her.

"This's a look I did a couple of years back so obviously it wasn't the first time to work on her. It was a subtle facebeat. This's the reason why I had to re-do her look on Saturday because she didn't want a super highlighted/contoured look like the pic she had shown me on her phone previously.

It was honestly misleading because I asked her if she was sure about it because I've never seen her rock that type of look. It wasn't about the quality of my work. Also, she has a huge birthmark on her face so trying to cover it up takes a lot of time and effort. Taking pics halfway through make-up to make me look bad is not cool. Next time, try putting your phone down for an hour or get someone else to pick up your calls to let people finish their work.

Look Attractive

I've worked with celebrities before you know. That's how my makeup career started 10yrs ago. @miss_keysha_makeup was there to do her hair only. She never came prepared to do her make-up. I met her that day. She told me that she's a newbie in the industry. Please respect the people that came before you and paved the way. You don't know what people had to endure so that you can comfortably say you're a make-up artist now. Even after all that, I still wished her a happy birthday, I still thought she slayed in her outfit and I still thanked her for giving me the opportunity to do her makeup. Why? Because I'm not a hater. I still wish the best for her. We used to be friends you know. I was actually hoping to leave it at that post. I'm not here for 15min of fame. I've met a lot of famous people in the Kenyan industry and I never bother to post them here because I don't care for too much attention that's why some of you have probably never heard about me. I keep a low profile. I've been around for a long min and I've always run away from the fame.

The least @anerlisa could do was acknowledge my work and not try to pass it off as someone else's. If not, then she shouldn't have bothered to say anything at all about who did her makeup. I'd have still been cool with that. If you're a creative/artist you'd understand why ✌God is my witness #ImOut #AnerlisaMuigai #Makeup #UnfairCredit #NotCool #Integrity #Ethics #Business."
