Babalwa
was born in Cape Town in 1987 and raised in Langa Township. She
attended Rhodes High school where she matriculated in 2005.
Babalwa went and studied HR management at CPUT and graduated with
a Bachelors Degree in 2009. While looking for work she ended up as
a receptionist on a 3D film called Judge Dredd by Kalahari
Pictures, this was when she discovered film. Babalwa learned about
all the different departments while working on this project and
found Makeup to be extremely fascinating. She always knew that she
was born a creative and this was the time to explore that. She
then went on to a feature called Chronicle as a Makeup trainee and
never looked back. Babalwa trained on different shoots back to
back for longer than usual turning down opportunities to assist as
she felt that she needed to be as ready and strong as possible as
an assistant from day one, and this, she became. With the solid
foundation she had built during her learning period, she excelled
so much further than she had even expected to in such a short span
of time. About three jobs into assisting she was put forward to
HoD a local film, she had given herself 5 years for this and
within 2 years of assisting, she designed her first film called
While You Weren’t Looking. For this film she was nominated for her
first SAFTA award. Immediately after the film she got another job
as HoD for a local series called When We Were Black. She continued
as an assistant in between designing and then began to get more
work as a Makeup, Hair and SFX Designer and now she mainly
designs. Babalwa has now been in the industry for 12 years and has
grown tremendously since her training. She has a total of just
under 70 productions under her belt consisting on 27 TV series, 21
films and over 20 Commercials. She has been a Makeup and Hair
designer on about 35 of these productions, with 19 long form
productions and around 16 commercials. Out of the productions she
has designed on she has received 11 nominations both locally and
internationally and she has won 5 awards. In 2016 Babalwa was
nominated for a SAFTA for best makeup and hair design for a
feature for While You Weren’t Looking. In 2018 she won for
Lockdown season 1 at the SAFTA’s. In 2018 she was also nominated
for an AMAA for best makeup design for a feature for Five Fingers
for Marseilles. In 2019 she was nominated for SAFTA’s for best
design in a feature for Five Five Fingers For Marseilles and
Nommer 37 and she won for Lockdown season 2. In 2020 she won her
first award for makeup and heir design on a feature for boxing
film Knuckle City. In 2021 she was nominated for nominated for a
Netflix comedy series and twice under one category of best drama
series for Lockdown season 5 and Trackers and won for Trackers as
well as Netflix “How To Ruin Christmas”. Babalwa has been a makeup
artist to international stars such as Orlando Jones, David
Harewood, Taylor Russell, Ed Stoppard, Thuso Mbedu, Lashana Lynch,
Christina Millian and Forest Whitaker to name a few. She has also
worked with many of the top actors of South Africa and this has
been her pride and joy. Babalwa has worked with companies such as
HBO, Universal Studios, 20th Century Fox, BBC, Hulu, Harpo, CBS as
well as BET and designed Makeup and Hair for HBO, BBC, Netflix
USA, Netflix SA as well as Sony Pictures and the future is very
promising. Babalwa is intensely passionate about her work and is
driven by her passion for story telling. She takes a lot of pride
in giving everything that she can to make the best contribution
possible towards achieving the overall vision on every project she
works on. Babalwa is skilled in all areas of the Makeup and Hair
department including beauty makeup, hairstyling, wigs, Afro hair,
SFX makeup and prosthetics manufacturing and application. She
believes that nothing asked of her is impossible to achieve.
