INSPIRATION AND HOW I VIEW MY WORK
A passion for beauty and detail. A belief that every woman is beautiful and unique. I love colors and textures and mostly important I love to make things beautiful to look at. I am definitely a visual person. One of the memories I cherish the most of my life at my family's home in Brazil was when my mother, my sister and I were getting ready for a special occasion. There was my graduation, my sister's graduation, my cousin's wedding and later my own wedding. In all those events and other special occasions I was the official makeup artist of my little household. Not only them but also my female friends and my sister’s friends have been under my painting brushes! It was then that I discover how gratifying is to make someone feel good about how they look. It took years to make the connection between the passion and the profession. I even graduated from Law School in the meantime... But the events of my life led me to become a makeup artist and I believe I found what I have been looking for in my professional life: to be truly happy in what I do. In my work I love the idea of bringing a woman's beauty out by accentuating what we like most in ourselves and even discovering ourselves. Makeup has the power to show our personality and our mood. A perfect makeup for me is the one that once done can bring about beauty and self-confidence in a woman. This is the reason why I like so much to work with Brides. A wedding is a most important and singular occasion in our lives; a bride deserves to know and feel beautiful and captivating especially on her wedding day.Every woman deserves to know and feel beautiful, with or without makeup. Borrowing the words from makeup artist Linda Mason: "A woman who looks and feels good without makeup is beautiful; but playfully adding a dash of color and light or even transforming oneself totally and baffling the world can feel magical."
