First, tell us a little bit about your journey with makeup.
I was never super into makeup growing up. I wore a little concealer or mascara on the day to day, but nothing wild. After graduating high school, I found myself enthralled with the makeup tutorial scene I found on YouTube and I was instantly hooked. I began experimenting with my own glam makeup looks and eventually transitioned over into more creative, full-body creations!
What inspired you to create the Gucci mummy look?
It is super important in the makeup community to stay on top of trends. Something I saw trending heavily was the inclusion of designer logos into makeup looks. I decided to merge this with my upcoming halloween content and decided a Gucci mummy would be the perfect way to do it!
