About My Audience

My followers, primarily women ages 25 to 34, seek to elevate their everyday makeup routines. Whether beginners or professionals, they appreciate approachable, aesthetic, and, most importantly, authentic content.   

Highlights

To emphasize the luxurious packaging and formula of the Patrick Ta bronzer duo, I created a visually pleasing video with informative captions.

Along with a detailed review of the Pearl Beauty collection, I filmed an engaging, aesthetic video with swatches.

For DIBS’ Halloween campaign, I used two of my favorite products from the brand to show viewers how to create an effortless Barbie-inspired makeup look.

To convey the effectiveness of Caudalie’s Vinoperfect Radiance Serum, I focused on the product’s unique ingredients and consistency. 

I highlighted Make Up For Ever’s iconic base products with satisfying closeups of the textures and an accompanying review.

I taught my audience three different ways to use the Patrick Ta Major Glow Balm while highlighting what I love about the formula.

For Grande Cosmetics’ holiday campaign, I showcased the First Class Beauty Lash and Brow Set with stunning product photography. 

I captured the dynamic textures and shades of Patrick Ta’s newest eyeshadow palette with a closeup video in natural lighting.

I filmed a try-on video to share six beautiful lip combos using DIBS’ No Pressure Lip Duos.

To celebrate the launch of Cocokind’s Resurrection Polypeptide Cream, I captured the unique texture of the formula.
