We learn from one another other, we stand up for each other, we communicate openly with one another, we care for those around us, we build together, and we trust in each other.\n<h3>Why did you decide to go into makeup artistry? What about it appeals to you?<\/h3>\nI remember as a young girl, I liked to draw and knit\u2014and I still do. I also remember that when it came to reading and watching movies, I always focused on the characters. If I put all those quirks together\u2014interest in people, attraction to characters and their peculiarities, drawing and knitting\u2014I can admit that all these lead me to doing makeup and personal styling as an adult.\n\nI decided to enroll in an online makeup course a few years after I started fistiQ &#8211; the beauty salon. I regretted that I wasn\u2019t doing something beautiful with my hands, and makeup is the first idea that eventually lead to my opening the beauty salon.\n\nWhat I like about makeup is that it\u2019s a way to enhance beauty in people. I get to show them how beautiful they are and help them feel great in their skin. That\u2019s my mission as a makeup artist.\n\nWhen we speak of characters, makeup has to be the fine and exact point of expression, smoothly integrated within all the defining elements of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/2018\/08\/theatrical-makeup-courses-does-master-makeup-artistry-cover-enough\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the character<\/a>.

I was happy to have the opportunity to study online. In fact, it was my only choice at that time due to limitations in my personal schedule. Being responsible with the administrative tasks for the salon, makeup was just a hobby that wasn\u2019t at the top of my priorities. Now, I\u2019ve learned to manage my schedule so I can enjoy makeup as both a hobby and a profession.\n<h3>Do you have any career highlights thus far that you\u2019d love to share?<\/h3>\nYes, being part of an experimental project is one. It\u2019s a short movie to be released in April 2019 for which I am the primary makeup artist. It is a very resourceful, enriching, and awakening experience. The director gives me the freedom to create the most appropriate makeup looks according to the context. The tremendous challenge is to make responsibility and creativeness meet: capture the message of the director, while adding personal value to the project.\n\nI also have done makeup for various other beauty projects for my salon that include, <em>fistiq: Faces of Beauty<\/em>, <em>Neo Natura, History Repeating<\/em>, and <em>Q Collection<\/em> (photo collections and movies). The greatest outcome from being part of a large projects for me is that I learn to synergize with, and pay accurate attention to, each member of the team.
