About me

I’m a professional Makeup Artist based in Los Angeles that has relocated from Taiwan to pursue my passion for Makeup&Hair&SFX. During my stay back and forth in USA and Taiwan for 15 years, I’ve had opportunities in various professions within the entertainment industry.

In high school, I was in an unfortunate accident that left me with a permanent scar. While recovering mentally and physically from this traumatic incident, I stumbled upon Theater Arts where I gained new found confidence. What followed was my introduction to the glamorous entertainment industry in Asia. As an actress, I worked in films such Hai Shang Hua, Yiyi, Wu Yu Zhi Lian, 1895 and many more. It was in this industry that I learned more about the concepts of aesthetics. Also, the impact of appearance and makeup has the power to transform an unknown, to a star. It’s not about covering up or how to cover up. It’s about appreciating what you are and what you have to empower yourself
with your own inner confidence.

As a model, I’ve also participated in International Fashion publications such as Vogue, Elle Beauty, FHM, Marie Claire, Bazaar and GQ to name a few. I would always be admiring and observing the work of Makeup Artists while also being educated on fashion and trend. During an Editorial shoot for Elle, I was captivated how a team of Makeup Artists and a team of Editors communicated to create a collaborative image. The apparel, the Make-up and hairstyles all had an important piece for the magazine.

As a performing artist, it was important to establish my own image from head to toe. I was featured in music videos with artist such as David Tao, Fish Leong, Renee Liu and Peter Ho. I discovered that a suitable image with suitable style and make up was key in engraving a memorable image in peoples’ minds. I’ve also worked as a consultant in cosmetic surgery clinics in Taiwan. I provided clients with personalized and personable service that included appearance evaluation and practical execution.

In the States, Film & TV Makeup Hair and SFX was another area I received work to better my craft. Additionally, I went to back to school in Los Angeles to obtain knowledge in the fields of cosmetology, body beauty, nails, hair, cosmetic surgery etc...with knowledge from multiple backgrounds, I want share my professional insight with you. I know what it takes to be a model or an actress, the image that makes a celebrity, the hairstyle that fits you or the occasion, how to embrace your own unique looks and features.
I’m not just to looking transform you or cover up who you really are, but rather bring out the different REAL you. This is my first step in a foreign territory and I’m eager to strive in my profession. I’m grateful to those who has given me opportunities along the way and I can’t wait to share my experiences and expertise with every new you I meet. Sharing more and more experiences with others is thing of beauty.

Until now more than 15 years of experience accumulated under the spotlight, I still adhere to the concept, regardless of the type of beauty and style, be sure to keep the most primitive childlike, pure without distortion.
I remember when my grandfather was alive, he told my mother: We predict that this girl will grow up to be a teacher, or else a movie star. Really, I have done it! I believe that the uniqueness of a person is born, as long as people go through visionary pondering, your beauty will be seen by everyone.Till this day I live by this statement and our brand aesthetics’ clearly represent this It is not whom you are wearing but how you are wearing.
My true calling has always been fashion and paving new ways in the world of style,I am an Entertainer (actress)& Makeup stylist that have been acting & styling in Fashion and Entertainment Industry since the age of fifteen, so knows how to work with any kinds of brand, producer, director,PR and fashion professional.
