"I’m inspired by many beauty influencers both from South Africa and internationally. I aspire to create looks that are inspired by South African music, food, culture, slang etc. I think creative makeup is something not as popular in Mzansi that I want people to see how it’s a form of expression. It’s an art, it tells a story, it’s emotive. Creative makeup is a way I can connect people," she said.
