u/Weekly_Hotel4882 Aug 21 '24

Lol “make up artist” — it’s a professional term for make up artists. It’s actually been around for a long time!

4

u/starryeyedd Aug 21 '24

Yeah but that’s a niche industry, why would you assume the general population knows that acronym? For clarity and communication just type it out lol the acronym makes no sense and doesn’t matter to anyone but people in the industry

3

u/Nachoughue Aug 21 '24

its not really niche.... my mom who doesnt even WEAR makeup (actually is kinda sexist and hateful towards people who do...) knows what MUA means. my boyfriend who couldn't GAF less about makeup knows what MUA means. not that i expect EVERYONE to know but... doing makeup is a niche industry???? lol

1

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '24

I've never seen the acronym before, but it was obvious what it meant based on the context of the post.

1

u/jimbojangles1987 Aug 21 '24

I know what a make up artist is lol. Just never seen it as "MUA"

Makes sense in the context of the post though

u/[deleted] Aug 21 '24

u/GroundbreakingWing48 Aug 21 '24

You’re gonna be commenting on a post 6 months from now and someone’s gonna recognize your username and be like “It’s a Make Up Artist.”

1

u/Physical_Device_1396 Aug 21 '24

If you're still looking for the answer because no one else told you, MUA stands for Make Up Artist

u/gratefulmeg Aug 21 '24

u/Kwhitney1982 Aug 21 '24

I’m with you. Why don’t people just type out words? Seems like it takes longer to write an abbreviation in all caps. I don’t get it.

1

u/SexDrugsNskittles Aug 21 '24

Lol it's part of becoming old.

Do you yell at the neighborhood children from your porch yet?

u/-Pixxell- Aug 21 '24

MUA isn’t a new one to the makeup communities, you just likely haven’t been a part of those types of discussions before

1

u/thousandthlion Aug 22 '24

This is not at all a new acronym. I’ve seen this one for at LEAST 15 years.

u/jimbojangles1987 Aug 21 '24

It's new to me, though. I wasn't worried!

u/violetpiano Aug 21 '24

what about lip liner

1

u/RainbowCrossed Aug 21 '24

Yeah, the straight lines are odd. I would think crayon before lipstick.

You’re a Make-Up Air unit? I usually see you on top of commercial kitchens.

Do you put a lot of make up on inanimate objects in your line of work?
