Can you tell us about your background and how you first became interested in makeup artistry?
From a young age, I was always drawn to beauty and creativity. I remember constantly doing my own makeup and experimenting with different looks just for fun. As I got older, that curiosity grew into a passion for the beauty industry. I became a hairstylist and found so much joy in helping people feel confident and beautiful. Over time, my love for makeup artistry continued to grow, and I realized how powerful it can be in enhancing someone’s natural features and completing their overall look.
Makeup trends change quickly, especially with the prevalence of social media. How do you stay inspired and continue evolving your style while maintaining your own unique voice?
Makeup trends are always evolving, which is part of what makes the beauty industry so exciting. I stay inspired by following new trends on social media, learning from other artists, and continuing my education through classes to improve and expand my skills. I love discovering new techniques and products that help me grow as an artist. At the same time, I stay true to my own style by focusing on enhancing natural beauty and creating looks that make my clients feel confident and comfortable.

I hope to keep evolving creatively and inspiring others, because for me, beauty isn’t just what you see—it’s how you feel.
