JEDDAH: Entertainment not only means giving pleasure and delight; it is a big business that, besides boosting the national economy, can create many job opportunities for talented people.
After Ohoud Mohammed, a young Saudi woman obtained a bachelor‘s degree from a local college some three years back, she tried to find a job to earn a living, but all her attempts failed. However, her drawing and painting talent led her to the branch of the Saudi Culture and Arts Association where she was able to join a group of actors and actresses as a makeup artist.
She added that her artistic talent was something she had not learned through schooling. “It is a gift of God,” she said.
Ohoud Mohammed explained that she started a makeup long time ago.

She pointed out that a makeup session for an actor takes her from 30 to 60 minutes, no matter what the character is or how complicated it is. She also added that it really pays.
“It is a good job and is worthy of all efforts I make. I sometimes get nearly SR700 ($186.6) for each makeup session,” she said.
