My Story
(this is a very, very short summary)
When I was in the age of 6, I started my journey into the world of art. I was very fond of drawing and sketches, mainly focussing on faces and how to layout out someone's makeup. I started evolving as an artist by using a white canvas and crayons, dabbling with paint and oleo. My parents painted some form of art on canvas, which inspired me to dive deeper into creating.
​
I used my notebooks and sketched faces during my free time in middle school and high school. And honestly, even during class, I was sketching all the time. I learned symmetry and details (details are essential to me). While enhancing my drawing skills, I began to go deeper into putting makeup on my sketches.
​
I had done some makeup on my face, but not so much. I used to do my makeup with some of my mother's makeup and tools. But, she is the "no makeup" type of woman, which made it hard to practice.
​
When my best friend from school asked me to do her and her mother's makeup 11 years ago, I said yes. This was the first time I was doing someone else's makeup in real life. Not on paper anymore. I used everything that I knew at the moment and successfully did her makeup and her mother's.
​
Later, I was fully booked for the next year. If you build a great experience with your talents, people will tell each other about that.
Word of mouth did its job, and the rest, is history.
