Established December 13, 2011, under the testimony of Mr. Sibert Gordon - Justice of the Peace, Winette O'Hara - General Secretary and Chairman & Chief Executive Director - Husine Newby the Jamaica MUA Awards™ was officially signed into existence. Boasting over (22) award categories, our core mandate is to highlight/award local, regional, and international trailblazers and budding talents in the make-up industry. We celebrate makeup artists for their contribution to the beauty industry as well as the younger generation of make-up enthusiasts who are breaking new ground and pushing the boundaries in the make-up profession.
JIMUA Awards™ promotes interests in industry growth, education, and professional development. Through our association and partnership with the "B3Initiative" and the WINSOR Academy, we ensure a strong presence in educational growth within the sector. We are an international brand with a positioning that fosters global industry exchange which solidifies us as a key tourism product.
The awards are also to acknowledge the work of the local make-up brands, retailers, and all other industry players in supporting the make-up artists to develop the make-up industry in Jamaica.
The Jamaica International Make-up Awards follows prior initiatives organized to create a platform for make-up artists and make-up brands among others to come together to promote the make-up Industry.
Internationally, we have formed a conglomerate that embodies a science not driven by fortuitous events, but by an intentional concept that speaks industry proliferation.
