At 18 years old, I took my first step into the beauty industry with nothing more than a makeup brush and a deep love for transformation. I didn’t have a clear direction back then only a passion for helping others feel beautiful and confident. For years, I poured my heart into makeup artistry, mastering every stroke and technique.

But eight years ago, my world shifted. I discovered the art of permanent makeup through a renowned beauty academy. This wasn’t just another chapter; it was a completely new book. Permanent makeup wasn’t about quick fixes or fleeting transformations—it was about precision, artistry, and creating lasting beauty. Despite my excitement, I felt the familiar pang of fear. Could I master this? Could I succeed in something so intricate and demanding?

The answer didn’t come easily. My journey into permanent makeup was filled with challenges. But I didn’t let my fear win. I worked tirelessly, dedicating every ounce of my energy to learning, practicing, and refining my craft. For four years, I pushed myself beyond what I thought was possible, and eventually, I achieved a dream I didn’t even know I had: becoming the only master at the largest beauty academy in the Philippines.
