My love for makeup started very young yet remained in the background. I have always loved Halloween, anticipating each year for the time when I can dress up with my friends! Meticulously practising the makeup so that it’s perfect on the day, even extending as helping hand to friends and family with achieving their character’s makeup. Finally when it came to looking into my future more seriously, I realised that this is something I could actually look into.
I have always felt more fulfilled when being creative and since gaining the skills to actualise the concept of a look or character with makeup, it has secured my want to keep creating in the future. I am a current student at Cinema Makeup School, Los Angeles and am currently based in Los Angeles but plan to be based in South Africa, Cape Town soon.
