I was fascinated by the art of makeup since my early age. From my childhood I used to do makeup for my sisters and friends, and used to try different makeup looks on myself. During my school days makeup was on my mind all the time and to make sure I had it on each and every day. I went from getting silly looks to “wow” your makeup looks amazing. They would say to me “I WISH I COULD DO THAT,” never thinking in a million years that one day I would be traveling and putting smiles on women faces and making new friends along the way as a makeup artist. I did not go to school to be a makeup artist but by the grace of God, he has giving me a gift and the ability when applying the art of makeup, I am honored and thankful for the other amazing makeup artist that I have been in connections with that has poured into me nothing but positivity and knowledge of the art as well. From deep contouring, smokey eye, cut crease, etc. as part of my day to day routine. I have done makeup for photo shoots, special occasions, baby showers, fashion shows, interviews and weddings too. I hope my striving for excellence in makeup will help me to achieve local and international excellence awards one day. I believe every personality has its own identity and I work on enhancing the same. As a makeup artist, I ensure that my clients have a suitable makeup look before they appear in front of camera or audience. I strive to make my clients feel beautiful from inside and confident from outside. My love for the art of makeup has placed me with clientele comprising women of all age groups. I am super excited to be apart of Untold Chronicles Magazine2020. I look forward to sharing with you the top resources for innovative makeup techniques and trends. We will go from skincare, maximum to minimal makeup routine, makeup starter kit, and foundation routine, etc. We may even step into a little fashion tips as well “WHO KNOWS.” My intention is simple and that is to place in you confidence that makeup will give you, if you add your favorite color lip gloss or a bold red lipstick color to your day to day routine will do for you. I look forward to getting into what I love and that is MAKEUP.
