I've always been intrigued by the makeup brand Make-Up Designory (MUD). Firstly the name, MUD, I mean how quirky is that? MUD on my face? Pick me pick me! The products are also super luxurious, high end, and the range is vast and beautiful. I must admit I've never actually owned any of the products, until now that is. Last week saw the launch of South Africa's first MUD Studio at the Morning Glen Mall, and although I unfortunately couldn't make it, my colleague and friend Sharon could and brought back a fab goodie bag for me from Sparkle Marketing Consultancy's lovely Laurelle. I just love the lush, nourishing, smooth, lipstick in Aubergine. The colour is so rich, and my husband even noticed, so well done MUD (that's a huge compliment).

Brenda Botha is the owner of MUD South Africa and is on a winning streak with MUD in our beauty industry. She's made a significant impact in the South African Beauty Industry in the last three years by providing MUD Products and training to major beauty salons and training institutions as part of their make-up services and various make-up training facilities. Today, we have six MUD Distributors in South Africa in major provinces.  

MUD International has now awarded SA the rights to open THE MUD STUDIO. This is a huge accomplishment for MUD in the country as they've grown the footprint in the market and MUD has awarded them with this privilege to conduct training under the international accredited courses. MUD Studios, located globally, brings world class education worldwide.

MUD STUDIO CONCEPT
With an educational classroom, the experience evolves from makeup enthusiast workshops to pro level classes – eventually allowing the student to join the ranks of MUD certified artists or continue their education each Studio has at least one classroom and a retail space.

The retail space is a sleek new makeup boutique that provides the customer with a unique educational retail experience. MUD certified makeup artists and educators give knowledge to the customer as soon as they walk through the door. From the retail floor, customers are invited to attend weekend and evening seminars.

MUD BRAND - AN EDUCATED APPROACH TO MAKEUP.

MUD believes the true purpose of makeup is to correct, cover and conceal. From their award-winning mascara (next on my list) to creamy foundations (oh and this too), luxurious lipsticks and silky eye shadows (okay fine, twist my rubber arm), each of the distinctive products performs as it's meant to: precisely and beautifully.

So whether you dare to be different, prefer polished and professional or simply want an all-natural look, MUD promises quality, long-lasting wearability, flawless application and radiantly accurate colour. With systematic lines, precision tools, how-to guides and insider tips, they've eliminated the frustrating guesswork. Just simple, smart, versatile makeup.
