"makeup is a talent!"
i am living proof that makeup
is PRACTICE!!
2014
used to sneak into my sisters
makeup collection, i started
off with lipstick and little
baby wings
2015
this was my first time putting
on falsies, it probably took me
around 30 minutes 😭
2016
the era of cut creases starts,
this look took me like 3 hours,
i could do it now in under 1
2018
starting to experiment more
with color! this is when i
started learning how to work
more with my asian features
2019
my first creative look! i had a lot of free
time during my first internship and i spent
all of that time PRACTICING makeup looks
2020
started really getting into more avant-
garde/dramatic looks, this was also when
euphoria inspired makeup was blowing up
2021
my first VIRAL makeup
moment with the pixel
makeup look! lots of
recreations, including
uncredited recreations
unfortunately 😩
2021
this hello kitty look, one
of my personal
favorites, i started really
getting into graphic
eyeliner around this time
2021
the start of my
valentine's day looks ❤️
also note i used to be so
insecure of my nose and
i would photoshop it
smaller... it took a while
to really accept and love
my features
2022
still my favorite graphic
eyeliner look i've done
2022
my biggest valentine's
day look! lots of
uncredited recreations
on this one too 😩

this is where i really
started honing in on my
detail work
2022
this taylor swift midnights inspired
series BLEW UP and i loved doing
creative interpretations of her songs
2023
really started pushing myself on the
details, valentine's day looks are still
my favorite
2023
always pushing myself to be more
creative, this was my take on latte
makeup
2024
villain makeup >>>
started getting into douyin makeup, a reminder
that being good at one style of makeup doesn't
mean you'll automatically be good at another, i
had to learn a whole new set of techniques!

valentine's day look to date
2024
