<\/p>\nLucia Mazhou was hired for make-up work for the performers of Baba Harare\u2019s new song, \u2018Sisi Viola\u2019.<\/p>\n
But what started as a routine make-up assignment quickly became something quite big.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When she arrived at the venue, the original performer didn\u2019t turn up for the video shoot.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Baba Harare didn\u2019t waste time.<\/p>\n
He pulled her in on the spot and, suddenly, the make-up artist became the face of the production.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cI was hired as a make-up artist, but ended up being the vixen after the model failed to make it due to some unforeseen circumstances.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
She recalls what Baba Harare told her.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said \u2018shamwari iwewe ndiwe waakutoita vixen wedu nhasi\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was looking at myself, nditori nemalines mumusoro, ndikati haa mahwani chaiwo.<\/p>\n
\u201cDoing the video wasn\u2019t difficult given my background as a former model and vixen, so I took up the offer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wasn\u2019t expecting it to be that viral.\u201d<\/p>\n
She further said that preparation wasn\u2019t easy at first.<\/p>\n
\u201cNdakatokumbira Zambia because I didn\u2019t even have anything to wear, I was wearing my uniform yebasa.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe second day of shooting is when I was fully prepared, hair done and a proper outfit.<\/p>\n
For Lucia, the Sisi Viola project wasn\u2019t just a role, it was a transformation, the kind make-up artists dream about.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a huge step towards making my name.<\/p>\n
\u201cWorking with Baba Harare and his team on the \u2018Tsa tsa tsa\u2019 (Sisi Viola) project was so much fun.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had people coming out of their houses to come and see us working.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucia said she is an image consultant and make-up artist.<\/p>\n
\u201cI help individuals and professionals align their appearance, communication, and personal brand with their goals.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough grooming, style, etiquette, and confidence coaching, I help clients create strong first impressions, build credibility, and show up with intention in every space they enter.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said that make-up is not only about aesthetics it\u2019s about impact.<\/p>\n
\u201cGlam isn\u2019t just for cameras, but it\u2019s for how you move, how you speak, and how you are remembered.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lucia said she has worked under Jacqueline Mgido as head make-up artist for the song \u2018Kuno\u2019.<\/p>\n
She also did other major collaborations, including working with Fungisai Mashavave (Makeup) and when Tiffany Haddish visited Zimbabwe.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have also had the opportunity to work with many industry leaders in both corporate, arts, and entertainment both as a make-up artist and image consultant,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Lucia said she also worked with the Zimbabwe College of Music on the Infocus Artist Wealth Lab for both the Harare and Bulawayo events, including an event attended by diplomats.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese experiences have allowed me to collaborate with a diverse range of industry leaders, creatives, executives, and public figures.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey strengthen my expertise in personal image, professional presentation, and beauty for high-profile productions and events,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
