Mostly social media, magazines, runway shows and celeb glam.

If you were not a makeup artist, what would be your dream job?

I used to be a freelance writer and I loved it. If I could be a travel writer / content creator / travel show host, something’s like, this I’d be in heaven.

What are three things every girl needs in her makeup bag?

A little concealer, whatever lipstick / lip product floats your boat, and some kind of lotion.

What are common mistakes you see women make on their makeup?

Wearing makeup looks that are super dated, you need to change it up after a while or you age yourself.

What do you think of the magazine?

I think independent community driven publications like this are awesome and a breath of fresh air.
