The story I want to write for women…..
My passion is to work with women globally and help them embrace their identity by cultivating their self love and embracing their authentic self through style and makeup. It starts by acknowledging and celebrating ourselves, appreciating both strengths and vulnerabilities. Prioritising our self care, nurturing physical and mental well being, and maintaining a positive mindset.
As women, we tend to nurture everyone else and there is no room left for ourselves. Society is particularly critical of women as they age. While I am excited to have seen this criticism start to shift during my time in the beauty industry, I know we still have a way to go.
During Covid I observed that most of us found ourselves not knowing how to transition back into the workplace. The way we dressed had changed and had become more relaxed. I often get asked questions like, “how do I create a style that is current but still represents me?”
That’s what ignites me most, helping women find their identity through style and makeup. Guiding them to express their style unapologetically and with authenticity.
This is who I am…..
Family holds immense importance in my life. As a mother of three grown children and a proud "grand-doggy" parent, I cherish my time with them deeply. My journey in the realms of beauty and fashion has been extensive, ranging from backstage endeavors, wedding ventures, to imparting makeup training. However, it was my upbringing under the guidance of my mother that instilled in me a profound understanding of purpose.
From as early as five years old, I eagerly assisted my mother, a skilled seamstress, in her craft. Witnessing her expertise, she taught me the intricacies of garment construction, from cutting fabric to assembling each piece meticulously. I marveled at the fluidity of fabric, the array of colors, and even the scent of natural textiles. This ignited within me a passion to transform these materials into extraordinary creations, fueled by a desire to craft unique attire.
From my formative years, I was captivated by the role of fashion in shaping our emotions and defining our identities. This fascination led me to delve into the realm of haute couture, specializing in crafting exquisite wedding dresses that embodied the dreams of each bride I worked with.
It was during my tenure as a makeup artist, particularly in the context of fashion and bridal , that a newfound passion emerged. Here, I discovered a profound joy in empowering women to embrace their inner confidence. This realization sparked a fresh chapter in my journey, one dedicated to helping individuals discover and exude their true beauty from within and the skill of makeup application for those over 40
