Experience

I've been working as an HMUA (Hair and Makeup Artist) since 2023 in Vancouver, BC. In the past, I worked for more than 10 years as an Art Director but I changed my career to pursue my strong passion for makeup. My past career gave me skills and expertisses to work as HMUA as well: an incredible sense of how to create concepts, match colors, be creative and flexible with each client. Furthermore, I understand the way many photographers, directors, artists and ad agencies think and work. You won’t find a makeup artist with the same background I have, my vision and knowledge are wider and goes beyond makeup skills.

How I describe my beauty/fashion makeup style

Ethereal, glowy, soft, blurred, monochromatic, elegant, modern and trending.

I have been creating my own techniques to bring your beauty to another level without heavy layers and look incredible on photos! I developed my own tecniques for long-wearing versions as well!

If you are creative or nerdy like me but it is afraid that your makeup look won’t appear as elegant as it should be, let me create your looks and show how you can embrace being fun!

Horror fan

I am a big fan of the horror genre, so I am not afraid AT ALL to create characters with scars or blood!
