Being known for my craft/talent as a knowledgeable makeup artist.
We know makeup is a powerful tool for feeling fearless and self-assured. What does strength look or feel like to you?
Strength is having great confidence in yourself in the worst of times. It means feeling like you can overcome any obstacle with a calm and compassionate approach. That can be in the form of self-care and self-love. It means working out, eating healthy, and getting good sleep so the mind can think with clarity. It also means dressing well and looking polished so you can be prepared for any role.
How did you get into makeup, or what's your first memory with makeup?
I graduated from Parsons School of Design (New York) with a degree in fashion. My dream was to be a fashion designer, actually! LOL. But because I was so color-driven and happy, I decided to switch gears and go into the cosmetics/beauty industry. And then I realized I was even more obsessed with skincare! I love what I do with great passion.
Who is someone in your life that’s influenced you?
My life partner. He has taught me things I never knew about my craft: business skills, finance, savings, how to hone in on my audience and so much more.
What is your favorite LoveSeen lash & why?
Noor 3D bc it’s just the perfect balance between soft & glam
Any advice for lash beginners?
If you’re a beginner using a strip lash, cut the lashes in half and apply in 2 parts so it’s a smaller section and less ground to cover. Don’t worry about perfecting placement as you should be with applying close to the lash line so that it looks seamless as possible.
