I started experimenting with makeup from a very young age. Every day I would practice new styles and techniques and I loved discovering all the different ways I could make my face look, just by adding certain shadow and lines. During high school, I took multiple drafting courses, which is where I developed a love for understanding shapes and symmetry. I decided to combine my two passions and start a career in cosmetic tattooing. As a cosmetic tattoo artist, my greatest passion is to help women boost their confidence and self-esteem. I am a perfectionist and enjoy working patiently and meticulously to produce unbeatable, natural-looking permanent makeup.
​
In 2018 I pioneered my very own world-renowned "Dark Lip Neutralization" technique. I was one the first to be offering a successful and authentic "neutralizing" tattoo service to women of color, while other artists said it was impossible to do. I used my experience in working with difficult skin and my in-depth knowledge of color theory to bring this brand new capability to the permanent makeup industry.

Proud of the international training and experience I have received, I have learned the most innovative techniques to enhance your natural beauty.

I have always had an eye for design, mainly digital, as I took a deep interest in graphic design programs in high school and college. Lip Blush is like a form of art to me and every set of lips is a new canvas to work on. My perfectionism transferred into my work as a permanent makeup artist and my close attention to detail is what I believe makes me stand out. This is what all my clients compliment me on the most. I take my time to make everything perfect, even the tiniest spots that my clients would never even notice, I see. This attentiveness in my work ensure’s that it always comes out flawless.
I pride myself on being extremely patient, dedicated, and hard-working. I began my career working with Tess as her personal assistant after I moved here from Toronto in early 2021. I knew that when the time was right, she would take me under wing as her apprentice and I would get to work out of her studio as a lip blush artist. After many long days and even months of learning to master Tess’s technique, everything I had been looking forward to is finally a reality.
I love the lip blush technique that I was taught, it really enhances your natural beauty. My favourite part about lip blush is that it is completely customizable to cater to each individual client based on their desired shape and color. Every tattoo comes out unique and natural-looking. the beauty industry, and the advancements in the technology and techniques that that make it up have always amazed me.

My love affair with lip color started as a very young girl when my favorite thing to do at my grandma’s house was to try on all of her lipsticks. This love grew to include all makeup as I spent a lot of my free time watching makeup tutorials on YouTube and following along trying to perfect my skill. I still love to play with makeup; to me it’s fun “me time” when I can relax and be creative.
Second to my love of all things “makeup” is my passion for the gym. In 2018 I decided to pursue certification as a personal trainer to help others feel good in their skin. Working together with people and sharing their goals and accomplishments is a fulfilling journey for me.
As a personal trainer I saw results in small increments over time. The idea of seeing results immediately and directly as an outcome of my hard work as a Lip Blush artist is addicting. I’ve carefully followed Tess’s guidance, absorbed her knowledge and practiced her techniques.
My approach is first to listen to what you want, collaborate with you on the shape and gorgeous colors that are naturally “you”, and make the magic happen in a calm, patient, meticulous manner. I will not rush the process as I’m an extreme perfectionist and every tiny detail matters. I know that I’ve found my passion when work doesn’t feel like work and every day I walk into the studio excited for another day.
