A Brief Introduction To Me

A love letter to all beauty and fashion junkie:

My name is Shirleen, I am many things.
I am a fashion school graduate, I am a freelance makeup artist, I am a youtube beauty guru, and most importantly, I am an avid beauty and fashion lover.

As far as I remember, I have had a love affair with fashion. It started when I was 8 years old. I started sketching fashion figures and clothing. I have a pile of paper full of fashion sketches (of course it wasn’t great since I was just 8). But my love for fashion has not and will not die.

My beauty and makeup obsession started when I was in junior high. I remember sneaking around wearing bronzer and mascara to school. I know, I know, most people would be like, “That is nothing! I used to wear glitters and look like a disco ball to school” but I went to a very strict Catholic school and what is on your face should be nothing more than moisturizer. So yeah, it was a huge hinder to my creativity.

I feel into the deep end during my college year. It wasn’t a surprise since when I was just 4 years old, I never passed a mirror I didn’t like. So during my college years, I started experimenting with makeup and hair, and since I went to an art school, everything is fair game.
I loved every minute.

One day I stumbled upon a makeup tutorial by xteeneer, and just like that, my obsession begins.

I started my youtube channel in 2008 and started to upload regularly in 2013. My knowledge comes from watching other gurus, and reading beauty books and facts like a mad woman.

I said ‘brief’ didn’t I? I guess I lied. But oh well. I just want to welcome you to my blog and please hop on and enjoy the ride!

toodles!
