About My Artistry
My makeup portfolio reflects a constantly evolving, versatile style that caters to all skin tones, features, and personal tastes. Whether you’re after a soft, natural glow or a bold, dramatic transformation. No request is too big or too small. Every face is unique, and I approach each client with my fresh perspective.
Industry Experience
Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with some of the world’s leading cosmetic brands, gaining valuable experience and training from some of the best in the industry. I’ve managed high-end makeup counters and been professionally educated by top-tier artists and educators.
Some of the luxury brands I’ve worked with include MAC, Bobbi Brown, and YSL, each helping shape and refine my skills, product knowledge, and artistry.
My Mission
My mission is to challenge the norms of beauty, embrace creativity, and make a meaningful impact through both artistry and education. Whether I’m behind the brush or teaching the next generation of artists, I’m driven by a vision to inspire confidence, celebrate individuality, and push the boundaries of what makeup can be. Everything I do is rooted in purpose. To empower, to uplift, and to create work that truly makes a difference.
Education
Alongside my work as a makeup artist, I’ve found a deep love for makeup education and mentorship. Teaching others the craft, sharing my knowledge, and helping aspiring artists grow in confidence is something I’m incredibly passionate about. This blend of artistry and education is the path I see myself continuing to follow in my career.
