I was 11 when I first applied winged eyeliner. That moment sparked something in me: what started as a small flick of curiosity quickly grew into a lasting passion.

Since then, I’ve been fascinated by makeup, not just as a way to enhance appearance, but as something much deeper. It’s about technique, color theory, self-expression, and a tradition that dates back to the beginning of human history, where people have always used makeup to present and express themselves.

I chose to study law as a safe path, but somewhere along the way, my younger self kept longing for a creative outlet. Since 2022, I’ve been able to follow that part of me as a certified makeup artist, working in both bridal and editorial makeup.
