Where did the love of makeup begin?
I’ve always dreamed of doing makeup for tv, movies and editorials but I didn’t have a chance to invest in my skills as I was really busy working or going to college. Even with all of that going on I always found a little gap to do makeup on my family and friends. It was really fun times!
What was the catalyst that made you change career?
In 2011 I left Brazil and came over to Ireland. I wanted to change my life because I wasn’t a 100% happy professionally. So my husband and I moved to Dublin to learn English and take it from there. Life started to happen and after working as a childminder for a couple of years I decided to focus on something I didn’t have a chance to do while back home.It was when my passion spoke louder… I started a professional makeup course and gave it a go. Today I’m sure I made the right decision
Did you have any fears about following your passion?
I had questions in my head, but never had doubts. The fear I had was if I would be able to find my space in the industry with my makeup style. But I just went for it! And I’ve been very fortunate since…I’ve met and worked with so many talented people that sometimes I have to take a moment and take it all in.
Did you always love makeup?
Yes, I always loved makeup! The 1st memory I remember of me with makeup I was 5 years old. My mother came to pick me up at school and found me with glittery makeup all over my face and a blue eyeshadow. I was looking like a clown! The funny thing is… I thought I had done an amazing job.To be honest I’ve always been a big fan of natural makeup. Most of the women in Brazil do appreciate natural beauty. So I just got in touch with heavier/dramatic makeup here in Europe.
