PHILOSOPHY:
For Sofia, the art of makeup extends far beyond mere aesthetics—it's a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Sofia believes in enhancing her clients' natural beauty, using makeup as a tool to accentuate individual features rather than masking them. With a philosophy rooted in celebrating diversity, she sees each face as a unique canvas, approaching each client with a tailored, personalized touch.
“ My journey in the world of creativity began at a young age.
I exhibited an early passion for the arts, often spending hours singing with my Dad and creating fashions with my Mom. My passion for the arts caught the attention of my teachers, setting the stage for an artistic future in the performing arts. As I entered my teenage years, I found myself participating in various singing and dancing competitions and often times taking first places.
In my early 20’s , I’ve discovered a new avenue for self-expression - modeling. Drawn to the transformative power of fashion and beauty, I embraced the runway and the camera and had an opportunity to work with renowned designers and photographers. My modeling journey took a turn when I developed a fascination for artistry behind the scenes. Inspired by the makeup artists who transformed my appearance for photoshoots and runways, I decided to explore this realm myself. Transitioning from model to makeup artist proved to be a seamless one - understanding of aesthetics and the firsthand experience in front of a camera provided me with a unique perspective.
Throughout the years in the beauty industry I’ve collaborated with renowned photographers, designers, models, actors and various brands.
I continuously push myself to evolve as an artist, combining my love for arts, fashion and makeup.“
