Art on faces

Makeup was my first love. I was hooked when I got my hands on my mom’s mascara at 12. It wasn’t just about enhancing features—it was about transformation. Halloween became my favorite holiday because it let me dive into the world of blood, gore, and special effects, which I loved. By 21, I studied at one of the top makeup schools in Hollywood, CA, winning awards and freelancing for red carpet-events, films, music videos, commercials, and runway shows.

While I thrived in the industry, my passion started to shift when I moved to New York at 25. Makeup had been my creative outlet for years, but I found myself drawn to a new medium—tattoos. Still, I’ll always cherish makeup as the art form that taught me how to tell stories through transformation.
