Everyone should let themselves get pampered on Special occasions that are important to them, such as birthdays, events, weddings, or photoshoots.

I deliver soft, sultry looks with a hint of glamourous. The eye looks are subtle but have an alluring gaze that is inspired by French beauty. Classy, chic, elegant, and still looking like yourself. I am thorough when it comes to skincare and blending the complexion. This benefits me in getting to know everyone’s unique features and enhancing them.

Makeup was intriguing at a young age and my first inspiration was my mother who never wore complexion makeup but always had on a blue eyeliner or blue eyeshadow.

I started with eyes at age 16, engaged in a variety of colors, and different eyeliner from pencil to liquid. I started in the era of ABH eyebrows. Fun but blocky times haha.

From time to time I would do quinceanera glams during high school from family or friends who liked the way I did my makeup. During COVID-19, I was motivated and wanted to learn more. I then discovered that it’s not just a hobby but a career so I put in the work.

I’ve been doing makeup for 3 years and many more to come. In the beginning, I took classes from QC Academy online, practiced with friends, and invested in the material. I am a self-taught artist and learned color theory, undertones, anatomy, etc., with my passion for beauty and wanting to grow more. I have experience working for 1 year back in 2020 at Sephora and 2 years in 2022-early 2024 at Ulta. I started sharing my knowledge and recommendations with my colleagues and had fun makeup days for events or holidays that I hosted. I recently took courses from multiple makeup artists with “The Makeup Lovers IT.”

Although I learned from a variety of makeup artists, which has been educational and helpful, I have my own techniques and signature look.
