Despite lacking a formal education, I was determined to network with industry professionals and learn from them. I attended beauty conferences, trade shows, and networking events, where I made invaluable connections and learned from the best in the business. I also enrolled in online courses and watched webinars to improve my skills and stay up-to-date with the latest beauty trends.

Diversifying My Skills
While wedding makeup remains my main area of expertise, I have learned to diversify my skills. I now offer skincare consultations, makeup lessons, and editorial makeup services. This has allowed me to cater to a wider range of clients and expand my network even further.
