Career
editIn 2005, Bauer moved to Sydney to further his career. After an assignment in India in 2008, he began working in India full-time.
In June 2014, the Bollywood group known as the Cine Costume Make-Up Artist & Hair Dressers' Association (CCMAA) authorized an official protest on the movie set of Bang Bang! in protest of Bauer working on the movie for its lead actress, Katrina Kaif. The CCMAA and 15 of its members protested on the movie set as Bauer was not registered with the union, despite the union banning foreign artists working in Bollywood. The issue was resolved with the CCMAA granting Bauer full membership.[3]
In 2017, he launched the Daniel Bauer Academy for makeup and hair studies[4] to provide students with practical industry knowledge and skills.
In 2019, Bauer joined MyGlamm as their Global Makeup Director.[5] He is also the brand ambassador of Lakme and Tresemme.
