When I started makeup I never imagined it would have lead me to where I am toddy . I decided to a makeup workshop with Mrs . Arlene Villarule Felix for my personal knowledge and ended up falling completely in love with what it was and what it can do . After my workshops AV ( as we called her ) asked me to go out on a job to represent her and my love affair with makeup began . Nicked named “ the wingedliner queen ” I worked as a makeup artist under AV AND Exquisite Faces for 2 1 ⁄ 2 years . These were some of the best experiences of my early career . I eventually made the decision to branch of on my own and build my brand Signature Talents by Steele . During this time I attended the Pivot Point Academy and gained my diploma in Esthetics . I have also done workshops with Buntricia Bastion , and Tatiana Ward ( Beat face honey ) just to name a few . I have also worked with some local artist such as Kes the band and Nadia Baston and for the film Home Again which was shoot in Trinidad starring
Tatiana Ali . Presently I am working as freelance makeup artist doing commercial jobs , photo / video shoots , bridal makeup ( my personal best ) also any and all occasions .
Recently I started conducting my own workshops where I teach women how to enhance their natural beauty . Makeup for me is not just a job , it ’ s a way of life . I get inspirations from everything I see , paintings , colors , places , flowers anything that catches my eye . One of the best feelings for me is that one moment when the person sitting in my chair looks at themselves and their confidence instantly increases , they stand a little taller , sticks their chest out a bit more and smiles brighter than before . There is nothing that can compare to that feeling . As the motto of my company states “ lend me your canvas & I will paint you a masterpiece ”
