I would stay at home by myself, and when she would leave I would play with her makeup. I was always fascinated with whatever women did to make a man look at them more.<\/p>\n\n<p>How I got into the makeup industry is a tricky situation \u2013 I had a best friend who was doing a video in Atlanta for this group, 112. They were my favorite music artist group. She told me that she was going to Atlanta to be in a video, in about 1995. I was 16-17 at the time. My mom went to work, I dropped her off, took the car, and drove both of us to Atlanta. I was parking the car and tried to figure out how I was going to get on set. The only thing that I can truly remember is thinking about how I\u2019ve heard in movies \u201cMakeup!\u201d \u2013 so I thought I\u2019d be a makeup artist.<\/p>\n\n<p>I went and bought a little $5 set of brushes, and I snuck on set. The security guard didn\u2019t even check me, he just let me go. I went in and was walking all throughout the hotel. Someone alerted Maurice Beaman, my mentor at the time, that there was this little young boy walking around on set pretending to be the makeup artist.<\/p>\n\n<p>He told me that they were ready to call the police after he found me. He told me that I had to work for him for free and that\u2019s the only way that I would be able to get out of this trouble. So, I ended up working with him all day, learning all the ins and outs, got to meet 112, and all these celebrities.<\/p>\n\n<p>Right before I was going to go home, he took my number. He pretty much taught me everything I know. He\u2019s who showed me into the industry.<\/p>\n\n<p>One time, he was overbooked, so I ended up doing 112 \u2013 they were my first celebrity group to date.<\/p>\n\n<p>He truly taught me everything \u2013 time, client-artist relationships, etiquette, set etiquette like how you interact with your peers, being friendly to every single person on set, from the grip to the cleaning person, everyone is completely equal. He would bring in cakes, pies and sweets to all the crew members and joke with them \u2013 and that\u2019s how I\u2019ve always been.<\/p>\n\n<i><h3 align=\"center\">Learn more about Merrell&#8217;s career as a makeup artist and find out what you&#8217;ll learn in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/online-makeup-courses\/global-beauty-workshop\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Global Beauty Workshop<\/a>!<\/h3><\/i>\n\n<\/span>\n<meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2017\/09\/meet-global-beauty-tutors-merrell-hollis\/\">","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Learn about celebrity makeup artist &#8211; and one of QC&#8217;s Global Beauty instructors &#8211; Merrell Hollis!","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":21918,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[418],"class_list":{"0":"post-21912","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-from-the-experts"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Meet the Global Beauty Instructors: Merrell Hollis - QC Makeup Academy<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Meet celebrity makeup artist, Merrell Hollis.
