WHAT DOES BEAUTY MEAN TO YOU?

"Beauty to mean doesn’t necessarily coincide with what we conceive as beauty standards. Beauty to me means diversity, inclusion, freedom of expression and creativity. I see a lot of beauty in the act of using make-up not just to hide imperfections and insecurities but to use it as a tool to represent your style, your tastes and who you really are"

WHAT’S YOUR SIGNATURE GO-TO LOOK?

My signature look is definitely dewy radiant skin, a strong black smokey eye with maybe some metallic pigment at the centre of the lid and a nude glossy lip

WHAT MADE YOU WANT TO WORK WITH MAC?

I was always a makeup enthusiast and I though working on counter would teach me so much, and it actually did. Also I love how big the range of MAC products is for skin tones and colour products like eyeshadows and lipstick. What I also love about the brand is it’s ethos and the social involvement it always had and showed since the very start

WHAT’S ONE THING PEOPLE WOULD BE SURPRISED TO LEARN ABOUT YOU?

I think that people would be surprised to know that I studied languages in high school and one of them is Chinese. I studied it for five years, went to China many times and I still am very passionate and interested in their culture, art, food etc.

IF YOU WEREN’T IN THE BEAUTY INDUSTRY, WHAT WOULD YOU BE DOING?

I would probably be a curator (or aspiring curator). I moved to London for university and have a degree in Culture, Criticism and Curation from CSM. I always really liked the idea of organising and curating art exhibitions
