“I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art.”
― Helena Bonham Carter

The definition of an architect is a person who designs and guides a plan or undertaking. I refer to myself as a makeup architect because this is how I execute my canvas, also known as a client's face. Specializing in beauty makeup, I have always strived to bring out my client's best features and sculpt them into a work of art. Makeup isn’t about covering up, it’s about enhancing and bringing out existing beauty. I aim to cater to each individual's needs and execute the look specifically to their face and features.
Being able to make a person feel their best, most confident self is why I love what I do. Being able to give someone that feeling truly is a gift.
