Kai Image Academy Selected as Official Makeup Artist for CIMB Artober Fashion Show 2022

Kai Image Academy Brings Professional Makeup Artistry to CIMB Artober Fashion Show 2022

Kai Image Academy is proud to have been appointed as the Official Makeup Artist for the prestigious CIMB Artober Fashion Show 2022, held at Menara Ken TTDI, Kuala Lumpur. This exciting collaboration highlights our academy’s commitment to excellence in professional makeup artistry, bridal makeup, fashion makeup, and creative beauty education in Malaysia.

The four-day fashion event brings together some of the most talented local and international fashion designers, featuring approximately 60 professional models presenting the latest fashion collections. As the official makeup team, Kai Image Academy works closely with designers, stylists, photographers, and the production crew to create runway-ready makeup looks that perfectly complement each designer’s vision.

Professional Fashion Makeup for Over 60 Runway Models

Fashion runway makeup requires creativity, precision, and the ability to work under pressure. Our team of professional makeup artists and talented students prepared every model with customised makeup designs that enhanced facial features while matching each collection’s theme and artistic direction.

Every makeup look was carefully designed to ensure models looked confident under the runway lights while maintaining flawless finishes for photography and media coverage.

Real Fashion Show Experience for Makeup Students

One of the core missions of Kai Image Academy is to provide students with real industry experience, not just classroom training. Participating in the CIMB Artober Fashion Show gave our students the opportunity to:

  • Experience backstage fashion show operations
  • Work alongside professional makeup artists and hairstylists
  • Learn time management in a fast-paced environment
  • Collaborate with fashion designers and event organisers
  • Build confidence while working with professional runway models
  • Strengthen teamwork and communication skills

These real-world experiences help prepare our students for successful careers as professional makeup artists in the beauty and fashion industry.

Why Fashion Show Experience Matters

Unlike studio makeup or bridal makeup, runway makeup demands speed, consistency, creativity, and adaptability. Every makeup artist must deliver flawless results within strict timelines while ensuring each model represents the designer’s creative vision.

At Kai Image Academy, students are regularly given opportunities to participate in fashion shows, beauty pageants, commercial productions, photoshoots, and special events, allowing them to develop practical skills that employers and clients highly value.

Building Future Professional Makeup Artists

We are honoured to be trusted as the official makeup partner for one of Kuala Lumpur’s notable fashion events. This achievement reflects the dedication of our trainers, students, and graduates who continually strive for excellence in professional makeup artistry.

Our academy believes that the best way to learn is through real industry exposure. Every event provides valuable experience that cannot be replicated inside a classroom.
