Influencers to feature in new Irish MUA series on TG4’s BLOC
Date Posted: February 2, 2022
A teacher from Cork, a nursing student from Armagh, a call-centre worker from Limerick and an Art Student from Kerry – what do they all have in common? A love for makeup. Masters of makeup and queens of contouring, Mise, Mé Féin & M’Aghaidh for BLOC TG4 delves into the fascinating world of makeup as we find out more about the Irish MUA online community taking social media by storm. With thousands of followers and endless opportunities, it is an exciting time for these 5 aspiring MUAs. What started out as a past-time has become a full-time career for many as social media makes their dreams become a reality – but it is no easy feat.
The short series was produced by Big Mountain Productions under TG4’s Glúin Nua scheme, an Irish language filmmaking mentoring scheme, in partnership with the Broadcasting Authority of Ireland, Northern Ireland Screen’s Irish Language Broadcast Fund, Údarás na Gaeltachta and in association with Gréasán na Meán Skillnet.
In the four-part series, we find out what happens behind the camera lens, the Instagram filters and the Tik Tok collaborations as we get a ‘behind the scenes’ look at some of the most exciting upcoming Irish talent. We put their skills to the ultimate test as they complete a makeup challenge to produce a show-stopping look in just 90 minutes with the theme: Makeup in the Year 3000. From zombies to robots, the MUAs must rise to the challenge and let their creativity take charge as they create amazing looks using their makeup skills and talent.
But behind the screens and the smiles, each MUA must face the challenges of social media – from trolls to negative comments, we see how these five young Irish MUAs overcome their obstacles to pursue what they love doing most.
Mise, Mé Féin & M’Aghaidh is available to watch on BLOC TG4’s Instagram and YouTube channel from today (Tuesday 2nd February).
Múinteoir as Corcaigh, mac léinn altranais as Ard Mhacha, oibrí ionaid glaonna as Luimneach agus ealaíontóir as Ciarraí – cad atá i bpáirt acu? An grá atá acu do smideadh! Máistrí an Smididh agus Banríona na Péinte Aghaidhe, sa ghearrshraith seo do BLOC TG4, amharcaimid ar an phobal smididh agus cuirfimid eolas ar chuid de na healaíontóirí smididh óga is fearr agus is mó le rá in Éirinn agus atá i mbéal an phobail ar na meáin shóisialta.
Big Mountain Productions a léirigh an tsraith seo faoin scéim Glúin Nua, scéim faoina ndéantar ábhar gearrfhoirme a chruthú trí mheán na Gaeilge. Is scéim meantóireachta le TG4 é Glúin Nua i gcomhpháirtíocht leis an BAI, Ciste Craoltóireachta Gaeilge Scáileán Thuaisceart Éireann, Údarás na Gaeltachta agus Gréasán na Meán.
In Mise, Mé Féin agus M’Aghaidh, rachaimid taobh thiar den lionsa, de scagairí Instagram agus de na Tik Toks agus cuirfimid spotsolas ar an obair chrua atá de dhíth sa chúlra chun tú féin a chur chun cinn in earnáil thar a bheith iomaíoch. Cuirfear dianscrúdú ar a gcuid scileanna agus a ndúshlán tugtha dóibh stíl úr a chruthú faoin téama: Smideadh sa Bhliain 3000. Ó zombaí go róbat, beidh orthu an acmhainn chruthaitheachta agus chomh cumasach is atá siad a léiriú agus brú orthu an dúshlán a chríochnú laistigh de 90 nóiméad.
Ó threochtaí go dtí na troill, tabharfar léargas sa tsraith seo ar na daoine taobh thiar den smideadh agus ar an phobal bheomhar atá ag fás ar fud na tíre.
Tá Mise, Mé Féin & M’Aghaidh le feiceáil ar Instagram agus cainéal YouTube Bloc TG4 ó inniu, Dé Máirt 2ú Feabhra.
