I am a passionate makeup artist, permanent makeup artisan, and skin expert with over 18 years of international experience in the beauty industry. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working in more than 20 countries, honing my skills and gaining invaluable insights into global beauty trends.

 

My journey began in the humble town of Klerksdorp, South Africa, where I always felt a deep calling to explore the world, travel, and express my creativity. After completing my high school education, I initially entered the hospitality industry, but it was my encounter with Christian Dior that changed everything.

 

Being approached by Christian Dior opened doors for me to embark on a remarkable career in the beauty industry. I started as a casual worker, but my determination and dedication to the craft led me to become a makeup artist. Inspired by an international makeup artist for Dior, I decided to further refine my skills and studied the Art of Makeup part-time.

 

During this time, I had the privilege of working as a beauty adviser, learning important tricks of the trade, product knowledge, sales techniques, makeup application tips, and customer service skills. I always felt driven to enhance the beauty and confidence of those I served.

 

After completing my makeup school training, I approached luxury brands with a proposal to serve as a traveling makeup artist within my home country. This led to an incredible opportunity with Dior as the National Makeup Artist. My role involved not only traveling extensively but also completing my backstage training in Paris and providing on-counter training to beauty advisors, conducting customer makeovers, and recommending products.

 

One of the highlights of my career was when I had the honor of showcasing a creative makeup look in the Middle East for a prestigious fashion show. This experience led to an offer to become the International Makeup Artist, where I led a team and traveled the world, inspiring women from diverse backgrounds.

 

Seeking new experiences, I then pursued opportunities in the Far East, where I served as the Regional Makeup Artist and later as the Regional Makeup Trainer for Chanel. These roles allowed me to further develop my expertise and expand my knowledge of global beauty practices.

 

Driven by personal reasons, I returned to my home country and later ventured into Europe to complete specialized training in Vienna, Austria as an Eyebrow Expert in Microblading/Eyebrow Embroidery. Since 2015, I have been working as a Permanent Makeup Artisan and Skin Expert in and around South Africa. I take pride in my work and am honored to have been recognized by Nouveau Contour SA as one of the eight Prestige Members in South Africa for my contribution to the field of Permanent Makeup.

 

In 2021, I established Aesthetics @97, a beauty hub in the Westrand that offers cutting-edge non-surgical medical aesthetic services. Through this venture, I am able to provide specialized treatments using top brands such as Dermexcel, pHformula, Formulage, MeLine, Thoclor, Filorga, FillMed, O'ri, and Pro-Active.

 

With a track record of completing over 9,000 pairs of eyebrows and continuing to count, my dedication to helping women find their perfect look is unparalleled. I am passionate about empowering individuals and bringing out their inner beauty through customized makeup techniques and innovative skincare solutions.
