Why did I want to be a makeup artist?

Initially, I had no clue as to what I wanted to do with my life. So before I graduated high school, I decided to take a year off college. Partly as a sabbatical and partly because I wasn't exactly sure what I wanted to take up anyway. At the time I was neck-deep in love with the theatre and I became very interested in stage makeup, so during my year off, I took a course at Makeup Design Academy. My life hasn't been the same since.
Most especially though, I love making people feel good about themselves, even if it's for one night only. I want to make people feel special on their most important moments. Which is why I became a make-up artist.

Why I created this website?

I made this at first to serve as an online portfolio. Which then branched out to reviews and tutorials. Although I have been very on-and-off with the blogging and updating since 2012. Hopefully this year on a new platform I will be able to maintain this site. Hopefully.

My goal with this website is to offer comprehensive and honest reviews of both local and international products available in the Philippines, ranging from inexpensive budget buys to luxury brand items. I also aim to create simple and easy-to-follow makeup and hair tutorials that everyone can follow.

I also want to blog about the goings-on around the south, review small businesses and restaurants, showcase getaways and other local highlights that the south can offer.
