Jakarta Fashion Week is hosting its first MUA Search, a competition aimed at finding 50 talented makeup artists to join the Beauty Team for Jakarta Fashion Week 2025. This event also seeks to discover new makeup artists who have the potential to become the future stars of Indonesia's beauty scene. To support Indonesian makeup artists and honor those who contributed to Jakarta Fashion Week 2025, the Jakarta Fashion Week 2025 MUA Search Awarding by Buttonscarves Beauty will take place on Sunday, October 27, 2025. The event will feature notable figures from the beauty industry, renowned makeup artists, and the 50 graduates from the MUA Search program. During the MUA Search Awarding, Andandika Surasetja, the Creative Director of Jakarta Fashion Week 2025, highlighted that there were 1,700 makeup looks showcased this year, made possible by the creativity and hard work of the Beauty Team with support from Buttonscarves Beauty. Meanwhile, Linda Anggrea, CEO of Buttonscarves Beauty, expressed in her speech that she views the makeup artist profession as noble and hopes that Indonesian makeup artists can stand alongside their international counterparts. One way that I and Buttonscarves Beauty support Indonesian makeup artists in their growth is by providing the best makeup products we can create, she added.
