Interview: Eugenée Anita

In this new section we will interview interesting and inspiring people. Today we kick off with one of our own handsome models: Eugenée Anita! Not only is she a model, but also MUAH.

Tell me who are you and where are you from?
I'm Eugenée Anita, I'm a 23 year old make-up artist from The Hague. Three years ago I moved to the Netherlands from dushi Kòrsou (Curaçao) 🇨🇼, and I've been living here ever since! Before I came to the Netherlands from Curaçao, I had just returned from America. I went to college there, and it just really wasn't for me. I was still young, I didn't try hard enough. I then left Curaçao for the Netherlands to study Pedagogy, but I really didn't like that. I then went to work at Lush, and I really loved it. From my love for make-up, I then started studying make-up at Mieke Petiet's school. This was it for me: the best school in the Netherlands for me! A week ago I completed the gruppo select masterclass here! So now I am a “Professional Make-up Artist” and “Hair Stylist”. I learned so much here.

What is your favourite food?
The sumo burger from the vegan junk food bar is my LIFE!

How would friends describe you?
Let's think… I think they would say I'm stubborn, but a lot has changed in the last few years. My father passed away last year, and that turned my life completely upside down. It has changed me for the better, and this has actually given me a spiritual direction to my life. Furthermore, I am always busy (sometimes hyperactive myself), crazy, spontaneous and I care about everything around me in this world!

What is your life quote?
“Unlearn everything you've been taught.” This is because you have learned all sorts of things throughout your life. But these are other people's lessons that they are trying to teach you. I believe that you should think for yourself and reflect on what you believe in as an individual and what you value. In the rest of your life, it's up to you, so you have to create your own world.

Where do you see yourself in the future?
I see myself as MUAH, and I would also like to make music and be a model. I think I'm multi-talented, and it really doesn't feel okay to say that, but I just really enjoy doing a lot of different things. I'm thankful for that, so why not share it with the rest of the world? I see myself as art, and I want to make art.

What was it like modeling for Lunar Wolff?
It was really awesome! It was exciting because it was one of my first jobs. Because of this I was sometimes insecure and wondered if I was doing it right, but you really gave me the confidence. Because of you I let my hair down, I did what I wanted. The photos and videos turned out so beautiful, so I'm really very grateful to you for this opportunity. It was really great and a great start of something new, so thank you for that!
