I started using eyeliner and lipgloss when I was young. While some little girls were exploring acrylic paints and piano technique, I was exploring drawing the best wing liner techniques, applying glittering eye shadows, and dabbing a sunkissed coral blush for my friends’ cheeks at sleepovers. 

And that passion hasn’t subsided. If anything, it’s grown because I get excited when I see faces light up.

Sleepovers were so much my jam that I started Glam, Glitter, & Giggles*, a kids makeup party, to give young kids the awesome bashes I remember having. Once the sleepover makeup expert, always one ‘til the end (maybe I’m just still a kid at heart).

Ultimately, personal fulfillment comes from supporting people at their major life milestones. I gained the “makeup guru” title amongst my friends which propelled me into the Chicago bridal makeup scene. Professionally, I have widened my circle to include people from all walks of life. Why? Because diversity matters. As a Chicago Asian wedding makeup artist who knows how to properly draw mono-lid cat-eyes and highlight dark and warm skin tones, I know how essential it is to find an artist who has experience with all skin types and features.

One part of my life that has no claim to fame is that I tried my hand at film acting in Los Angeles. This only resulted in me returning to Chicago to do my actual calling, but I’m in my element more than ever as a behind-the-scenes theatrical makeup artist. I currently do makeup for fellow actors’ auditions, headshots, or big scenes, knowing the vulnerability of going after a passion and being one moment away from a big break.

And as usual with all slightly obsessed artists, I’m a stickler about technique, and sanitation.  Professional training and experience from Loyola University Chicago, Ulta and Bobbi Brown Cosmetics since 2014. I keep my brushes on the pulse with trends here in Chicago as a lead team member on a bridal team and serving my own private clients. I always keep myself fresh and up-to-date because you don’t need to look like a vintage doll from a 50s ad unless that is what your heart desires.
