Give us a little background on yourself.

I truly love makeup, it is a truly difficult and competitive world in which it has cost me a lot of time and effort to enter but, it has always rewarded me with great joy and has encouraged me to continue even in the most difficult moments. I love makeup from the beginning that the skin comes first, preparing it so that it is as perfect as possible and perfecting it, not covering it up or hiding it, enhancing the best it has, loving its texture and from there the art of makeup springs.

My mother is a choreographer and runway director and I was always connected to art, until one day she asked me if I wanted to study makeup.
