1. Career Beginnings:
Q: How did your journey in the entertainment industry begin, and what inspired you to pursue acting?
my journey truly began by chance after I had finished my A-levels, since a friend was doing an internship at an advertising agency, and they needed a model for a campaign. Hence, she asked me if I was interested, and that is where the journey began. After that stint, I went for a haircut to a renowned salon, where the hairstylist further referred me to the bigwigs of the fashion industry and the ball never stopped rolling
2. Multi-Talented Roles:
Q: Balancing acting, makeup artistry, and a beauty brand must be challenging. How do you manage to excel in all these diverse fields?
it is truly a balancing act where a lot of times the balance does tip and things get compromised, but I have learned in all this time that I cannot be in charge of everything hence, I am very happy with assigning roles to family members and at times my staff so that my own life becomes a lot easier but it does not come without compromise. Sometimes family time gets compromised and sometimes work gets compromised, but it’s all part of the balancing act.
3. Memorable Roles:
Q: Amongst your various acting roles, which character or project holds a special place in your heart and why?
there was a megaproject on Geo TV, which was called Ladies Park in which there was a huge star cast and I am very happy to have been part of that project. Also because I had to play a very glamorous, positive trophy wife role, and the entire play was a lot of fun during the shooting.
4. Beauty Philosophy:
Q: As a successful makeup artist and beauty brand owner, what is your philosophy when it comes to beauty and skincare?
I truly feel that features are God-gifted where you can only enhance certain features with the help of aesthetic procedures, but Beauty truly lies in the eyes of the beholder. As far as makeup and skin care go, I truly feel that skin care is the most important element to focus on since if you do not have a good skin, then any kind of makeup will not look good on bad skin
5. Signature Makeup Look:
Q: Do you have a signature makeup look that you personally love, and could you share a few key products you can’t live without?
my signature makeup look is a very light layer of my Pump it Up foundation and Power Buff compact powder with little contour and lots of blushon and highlighter, ivory shimmery eyes, a brown winged eyeliner, heavy mascara, soft eyebrows, and a nude glossy lip. All products from my brand Bling By Nadia Hussain website http://www.blingbynadiahussain.com.
6. Entrepreneurial Journey:
Q: Owning a beauty brand is a significant achievement. What motivated you to venture into the business side of the beauty industry?
Well, after being in the fashion industry for 18 years, I realized that I cannot completely rely on this industry for a lifelong income, so I decided that I should move a step ahead and get into a business which revolves around beauty and fashion in which I can also utilize my name hence first came the salon, and then the makeup brand Bling by Nadia Hussain
7. Challenges and Success:
Q: What challenges have you faced in your career, and how did you overcome them? Any advice for aspiring individuals in the industry?
actually, honestly, there were not very many hard challenges, but one piece of advice I would give to aspiring models is to learn to say NO
8. Fashion and Style:
Q: How would you describe your personal fashion style, and do you have any fashion icons who inspire your choices?
my style is very chic casual and no I do not have any fashion icons as my inspiration since I can draw inspiration from many people of many spheres at a time
9. Balancing Act:
Q: Juggling between your professional and personal life can be demanding. How do you maintain a work-life balance?
as I had mentioned earlier, it is definitely a balancing act in which I have learned not to become an overly stressed out micromanager
10. Future Projects:
Q: Can you give us a sneak peek into any upcoming projects or collaborations that your fans can look forward to?
I am presently working on a very interesting drama, which is upcoming on Green TV and I am working on increasing the retailership and distribution of my makeup brand.
