The use and experience of make-up is different for everyone. MoMu challenges young people with a passion for make-up to develop and share their most creative looks. Alter Ensor offers them a platform to showcase their most imaginative side and collaborate with make-up professionals. The museum is, therefore, inviting them to create videos in which they share their most creative looks and talk about what make-up means to them. Ten young people will be selected for the Alter Ensor project. The resulting diverse looks and underlying stories create a fascinating mix of visions, skills and experiences which will be highlighted in the project.

How to participate?

  • You are between the ages of 16 and 25.
  • Make a video of the creation process and two self-portraits of your most original look. In a separate video, tell us what make-up means to you. We want to get to know you: your personal story is more important than a professional edit.
  • Register by 17 June 2024 using the following form.
  • Submit two videos and two self-portraits by 30 June 2024. Both videos should be between 3 and 5 minutes.
  • The ten selected young people will be notified by 19 July 2024.
