MEET THE MAKEUP ARTIST BEHIND THE BRUSH
HELLO!
I'M ANEL VAN WYK.
Many people ask me how I discovered my passion for makeup or why I chose this career. The answer is rooted in a Grade 10 assignment where we had to job-shadow for a day. At the time, I was uncertain about my future, but my mother noticed my enthusiasm for doing my own makeup for dance competitions. I was deeply involved in Ballroom and Latin dancing then. Based on her suggestion, I spent a day shadowing a beauty salon, and while other beauty services didn’t captivate me, I found a true love for makeup. This sparked my passion. The following year, in Grade 11, I completed my first Bridal Weekend Course and was hooked. That was 11 years ago, and today, I’m a makeup artist with the same passion and love for what I do.
Sjiek Makeup Name - Inspired by the word "Chic," which means elegant, graceful, and stylish in appearance. As an Afrikaans speaker who loves my native language, I decided to give it a unique twist by changing "Chic" to "Sjiek" – a classy Afrikaans version.
