MAKING IN BIG IN KL AND LA
Q: What is your drive and motivation?
Definitely my supportive family and my
followers. Even when I feel demotivated or
doubtful of myself, they would always keep
me going and remind me to believe in
myself. The love I receive from my followers is
something I would always cherish and
motivate me to be successful so I could make
them proud.
Q: What are the differences on being a
beauty influencer in Malaysia and in LA?
I would say the timing, when I'm in Malaysia I
am able to work on normal hours like 9am to
7pm, but when I am in LA I start posting and
working at 8pm to 4am because that's when
my followers are most active. Besides timing,
I also think that being a beauty influencer in
LA is way more competitive than in Malaysia.

Q: What’s your proudest achievement as a beauty
influencer?
My proudest achievement would have to be when I
got an email from Michelle Phan's production
informing me that they would love to have me in
one of their videos. I couldn't be happier! That was
an opportunity of a lifetime, Michelle Phan has been
one of my favorite YouTuber since I was younger and
she gave me the confidence to really express myself
with makeup so to be chosen to work with her is
beyond my wildest dreams! It was such a stepping
stone for my beauty influencer career.
Q: What are the pros and cons of being a beauty
influencer?
Pros : Get first hand experience with the latest
products. Have the opportunity to network at
events. I can work anywhere in the world, I don't
require to be at a specific place. I get to spread
positivity and knowledge in just a click of a button.
.
Cons : I have a very tight schedule that I have to
follow. It can be really expensive to stay updated
with the beauty industry
