As a professional makeup artist, I love keeping up with the ever-evolving beauty industry. New brands, innovative formulas, and exciting product launches are constantly changing the way we approach makeup. While I enjoy discovering the latest beauty trends, there are also many tried-and-true products that have earned a permanent place in my kit because they consistently deliver exceptional results.
Over the years, my makeup kit has become a carefully curated collection of both long-time favourites and exciting new products that truly live up to the hype.
I am extremely selective about the products I use on my clients. As someone with sensitive skin myself, product safety is incredibly important to me. Every product in my kit is something I would feel comfortable using on my own skin. I want my clients to feel confident knowing that I only use high-quality products that are trusted, reliable, and suitable for a wide range of skin types.
I have always had a love for luxury beauty products—not only because of their performance but also because of the craftsmanship, innovation, and passion behind the brands. I am inspired by founders, makeup artists, and beauty creators who continue to push the industry forward and create products that truly make a difference.

In recent years, I have also fallen in love with Korean skincare and beauty products. K-Beauty has become a significant part of my professional kit, particularly when it comes to skin preparation and achieving that healthy, radiant glow that so many brides and clients love.
Two products I am especially obsessed with are:
d’Alba White Truffle First Spray Serum – which I use throughout the makeup application process to hydrate, refresh, and add luminosity to the skin.
Ongredients Skin Barrier Calming Lotion – one of my favourite products for skin preparation, helping to calm and nourish the skin before makeup application.
I firmly believe that beautiful makeup starts with beautiful skin.
Outside of makeup artistry, I am a complete skincare enthusiast. I love learning about skincare ingredients, testing new products, and staying up to date with emerging beauty trends. I am constantly researching ways to improve skin health and create the most beautiful canvas possible for makeup application.
One of the things I enjoy most about my job is sharing that knowledge with my clients. Whether it’s recommending skincare routines, helping clients understand their skin type, or teaching simple beauty tips, I love helping people feel confident in their own skin and look their very best.
After all, makeup should enhance your natural beauty—not hide it.
