Summary
Art plays a significant role in my life, driving my passion and expertise. I possess extensive knowledge of color theory and adept skills in acrylic and mixing mediums, with makeup as the primary medium. As a skilled Makeup Artist, I excel in both artistry and understanding the cosmetic industry.
From a young age, a successful makeup service business was established, showcasing talent and commitment to excellence. While initially self-taught, formal education pursuits include certifications in retail cosmetics and a Diploma of Business.
Beyond makeup, roles such as bartending have been executed with consistent exceeding of customer expectations with poise and humor. Outside of work, activity in the music scene includes engagement in stage dancing and DJing, alongside a strong passion for social media and content creation.
A dynamic role is now sought to apply and expand skills in a stimulating environment. Despite a busy schedule, flexibility and commitment remain high, poised to contribute to the success of any team or business.
