MY JOURNEY TO BECOMING A BEAUTY PROFESSIONAL ❤︎
My beauty journey began early. Growing up, I was that “posh kid” who loved painting nails, trying new hairstyles, and playing with makeup. By my teens, I had friends and family asking me to do their makeup, and that’s when I realized I could turn my passion into a career. I started freelancing as a makeup artist, but I didn’t stop there. I dove headfirst into eyelash artistry, juggling my makeup gigs while nailing down those lash skills.
The more I worked, the more demand grew, not just for my beauty services but for training others. So, at just 24, I took a leap and opened my own studio. From my early freelance days to managing my own space, every step has been driven by a love for beauty and a commitment to excellence.
Today, I’m thrilled to pass on my techniques and insights to clients and aspiring artists, creating a community where beauty and artistry thrive together.

"I've also gotten so many compliments"
GIRL, none of mine have come off yet. I'm so surprised cos usually some lashes come off within the first days with everyone else I've went to, but literally not even one has come off yet and I've also gotten so many compliments 😻😻😻
