I started my journey in the makeup industry in 2012, where I trained at London Eyes Academy in Oakbrook, IL. I loved learning color theory, skin tones, and different types of bone structures. I thrived contouring, shading and building on my portfolio of silhouettes. Little did I know the Academy would lead me into something I care deeply about- skincare.
I then shifted to Boston in 2014 to attend the prestigious Catherine Hinds Institute to focus on skincare and get a degree as an esthetician. After graduation I landed an amazing role at the elevated Bella Sante Day Spa in Boston where I perfected my skills. I also gave my time to Angel Faces. This is a camp for girls to attend that have been badly burned. I would teach corrective makeup to these incredible young girls. I was teaching them but I was the one who learned more than I ever imagined.
I had never worked with burn victims before and at first there was an element of uncertainty. The kind of uncertainly where you question if your doing a good enough job but also an experience that lights a fire and sparks passion and excitement. When I finished my sessions with these beautiful girls And they had their makeup on it was that one moment in the mirror when their eyes locked in on their reflection- it was priceless. I knew at that moment I wanted to provide the same feeling I gave the girls at Angel Faces to every single person I serviced.
I returned to Chicago in 2018 and decided to focus on permanent makeup and the trademark of our face- the brow. I enrolled in the Advanced Permanent Cosmetic Academy and knew I found my passion.
Reach out today. I would love to give you beautiful, flawless results that also leave you locked on your reflection!
