During an earlier interview with us, Arber revealed that he’s pretty much always wanted to be a makeup artist, ever since he was a child.
However, he said that his family had been opposed to his dreams. "In our culture, a male in the beauty industry is considered taboo," he said.

"So, at first, I got a master’s degree in economics, and only then did I follow my dream and started working as a makeup artist,” he explained that his journey towards his dreams has been a long one, indeed.
The makeup artist remains as passionate about his craft as ever. The amount of hard work that he puts in is incredible. He works with over a thousand brides each year.

"When I meet my client, the first question I ask is what kind of occasion are they getting their makeup done for," Arber shared with Bored Panda a glimpse into how he works with his clients.
"I also ask my clients if they have any specific requests. For example, if they want a natural or dramatic look,” he said.

"Then I ask them [to show me] the dress that they are going to wear. The design of the dress and its details reveal the style of the look the client is going for. Then, I analyze their facial features,” the professional shared how he works, step by step.

The pandemic had impacted Arber’s line of work, just like many other makeup artists’. During the lockdowns, they had fewer clients than usual.
However, normally, summer is the busiest season for them. He and his team can work on as many as 60 or more clients per day which is absolutely incredible.

Arber revealed to Bored Panda that, at the time, his team consisted of 25 people. 15 of them are makeup artists and 10 are hair stylists. That way, he’s able to serve all the clients who want his services.
The pro makeup artist has been working on sharing his skills with more people. "Some of my students are working part-time and some are full-time employees,” he said that he’s trained quite a few industry professionals. Passing on one’s experience to others is the sign of a true master.
