FROM THE MAKE-UP ARTIST HERSELF:
SONIA AHUJA
There have been certain times in my past working years when peo-
ple have told me I am too young to be working already cause I have
my entire life ahead of me and this is the time to have fun and en-
joy life and I do completely agree but what if you can do both at the
same time? Makeup has always been my passion and my sole love,
something that has always bought me joy and never let me down.
I believe you should start whenever you are ready regardless of
what your age is because nobody gets better overnight, it is a pro-
cess filled with trials and errors. As they say “art cannot be taught, it
comes from within”, it goes the same way with makeup application,
you need to know the basics of course but nobody can improve you
except you and your practice and creativity, also your patience.
I was into makeup ever since I was a kid, I would take my mom’s
liquid eyeliner and lipstick and be content just drawing a single line
across my lids. One of my childhood makeup memories is when I
went to a younger cousin’s house for the first time and she sneaked
her mom’s makeup kit in her room and my soul instantly felt peace-
ful and joyous at the same time because I had found my safe place
and comforting element in the new environment.
