My journey as a makeup artist began in the most unlikely of places: high school.

One of my closest friends was a true beauty enthusiast. She always had a twinkle in her eye when she talked about makeup and fashion, expressing a deep love for self-expression through appearance.

At first, I couldn’t fathom how someone could find such joy in something seemingly superficial. But as I watched her transform before my eyes, I started to see the magic. It wasn’t just about looking good; it was about the confidence, the creativity, and the sheer joy that came with it.

Inspired by her passion, I decided to give makeup a try. When our tenth-grade farewell party rolled around, I couldn’t resist asking her to do my makeup. The results were incredible!

That day, I discovered the transformative power of makeup—not only in enhancing beauty but also in boosting self-esteem and confidence.
