More than being products, makeup, for me, are tools to express one’s creativity, show one’s self-care and boost one’s confidence. Through makeup, I am able to live different personas – I can put on a simple everyday look if I am feeling simple, play with colorful eyeshadows if I wanted to show more of my artistic side, make use of different application techniques to create distinct looks and show the fluidity of my personality. Makeup gives me the power to be one person one day and another totally different one the next day.
Speaking of looks, in the short time that I lived in Tokyo, I made it a point to familiarize myself with Japanese beauty and master enough techniques to be able to create a Japanese-inspired makeup look.
