It’s funny how life works out and how some paths are meant to end, so others can begin more intentionally.
2017 was the year I began makeup artistry and everything I did was the definition of winging it (quite literally). I was studying to become a primary teacher and makeup was very much just getting me through uni. My business grew successfully but in 2021, after lockdown, I decided not to return to makeup artistry as my heart just wasn’t in it anymore.
Early 2023 saw me pick up my brushes again but with a whole new outlook and approach. I wasn’t sure what direction it would take me in, but my mindset was different this time. In 2024, I opened my own studio and in 2025, took a career break and temporarily stepped out of the primary classroom. Little did I know I was creating space for a different type of classroom - one full of artists who all me to teach and guide them on something I love.
Everything you go through or do, whether it’s a setback or redirection, is part of your journey & leading you somewhere. When i stopped makeup in 2021 I never thought I’d have come back to it, let alone be hosting an event like this for fellow creatives. If anything, take this is as your sign to simply keep going 💫
