Cosmetic artistry has been my passion since I was a little girl. I will never forget the excitement of going to my grandparents’ house… My grandmother would always save my sister and I lipstick samples that come in doll sized tubes for us to play with. Knowing I am not the only one who has had a similar experience peaking into their mother’s or grandmother’s makeup vanity, it is evident to say that beauty, and what it means to us, is seamlessly woven into our identities. I have come to find that beauty is not just in our physical appearances, but in who we are and who we want to be as individuals. My sense of beauty as an art form has always been about championing the individual for who they are and what they aspire to be. I am constantly looking to learn and create makeup looks that do not mask a person's appearance, but bring out their best and favorite features that are specific to the person's vision. With certification from London Eyes International School of Makeup, having experience as an artist with Magnificent Brides and Morphe Cosmetics, I have been able to apply my passion for cosmetic artistry with my business background to further learn about the most recent trends, products, and techniques within the beauty world. I love to be versatile and work with different people, mediums, and cosmetic styles in order to portray the art of beauty's many forms.
