Doing Makeup professionally since 2019 and nails since 2022
Born and raised in the Algarve, I was always very passionate about arts, specially drawing and sculpting.
At the age of 13 I started drawing realistic portraits as a hobby and realized that through makeup (highlights and shadows) I could improve my drawing skills by understanding how volumes work.
Later on I watched the “Vikings” Tv Series, I became very passionate about special effects makeup and decided that I wanted to do that for a living. I went to University Of Bolton take a bachelor degree as a Special Effects Makeup for TV, Cinema and Theater, in the year of 2018, however due to Covid I had to come back to my home country.
Back in Portugal I took a small makeup course so I could start doing it professionally and in 2023 I decided it was time to deepen knowledge and went to Lisbon to take another makeup course at Make:UP Artist Escola de Maquilhagem Profissional where I learned many new techniques not only about beauty makeup but also about SFX. With this I also made some important contacts and have been working in many fields as a MUA such as:
Music Videos;
TV Series;
Music Festivals;
Social Events;
Commercials;
Etc.
Since then I have been to Madrid twice in 2024 to learn more about SFX Prosthetics and its appliances.
Ever since my first makeup course I have been doing bridal Makeups and want to keep to be a part of this field which lead me to take an hairstyle workshop.
My goal in life is bring joy to all those surrounding me.
