SENIOR MAKEUP ARTIST

Q: What do you hope to express through your face charts? What do you think is the difference between creating paper makeup art and doing makeup on real people?

A: I enjoy designing face charts because they allow me to unleash my imagination anytime and anywhere.
I can instantly record different color combinations and makeup effects without any limitations.
In contrast, when doing makeup on real people, I have to consider the client's preferences, facial contours, and the requirements of the occasion.

Q: What does makeup mean to you?

A: For me, makeup is about boldly showcasing my most comfortable and beautiful side, becoming the version of myself that I love.

Q: Do you have any personal makeup tips you'd like to share?

A: I believe the key to a beautiful makeup look lies in perfecting the base. When designing the base, it’s important to first understand your skin type.
Using the right skincare products means you won’t need to apply too much foundation; a small amount of concealer can effectively cover imperfections.

"Makeup is like dressing up; it can change every day based on mood or inspiration, showcasing different styles and personalities."
