18 years celebrity makeup artist & portrait painter. Animal & music lover. Fashion & art enthusiast with love for obscure marvels and travels. Certified by international celebrity makeup artists Mario Dedivanovic (feat. Kim Kardashian West as model) , Talal Morcos, Joyce Bonelli & Hanan Alnajadah. Has provided makeup for celebrities and V.I.P.'s such as Nadine Labaki, Mark Strong, Sheikha Raya Al-Khalifa, Carmen Lebbos, Yosra, Adel Imam, Robert de Niro, James Cromwell, Michelle Yeoh, Ara Mina, Brigitte Lacombe, The Late Isabel, & many more.

Fomerly worked for Mac Cosmetics as Events team makeup artist, mostly catering to vvips and celebrities.

Regarding art, I had a 3 day Art Exhibition as one of the painters for "Pintar Artists Qatar" Filipino group of Artists Association in Qatar for Philippine International Day, & also applied makeup for Pintar Artist model, and hosting for Philippine Ambassador of Doha Qatar, which was featured in THE GULF TIMES newspaper. I also love charity work. In fact, I had an art gallery exhibition during "SIMPLY PINOY ANNIVERSARY" for a friend F.O.P. diagnosed named Charis with donations given to her, and for people in need in Gaza, under the banner of "REACH OUT TO ASIA", by giving out 10 makeup class vouchers (which raised $4,180) with all proceeds goes to charity. I have participated in Breast cancer awareness events such as applying makeup for Qatar Motor Pink Raiders group of women whom survived breast cancer which was featured in Qatar Happening Magazine, and also featured for Whats Up Doha's Breast cancer awareness segment.

Recently established my own. Working on my own makeup line, & currently collecting vintage cosmetics. Hoping I could share it to everyone soon. Grew up in Qatar, made and born in the Philippines. As an artist, I believe in order to grow, one must be dedicated, be inspiring, giving, and open to constructive criticism.

Other than makeup and art, in the past, I have ventured as a vocalist/lyricist /guitarist /bassist, with range of melodic vocals, baritone, deep notes, and extreme growl vocals. And had a small time stint as a host and DJ.

A loving wife to my husband, Kris Bilae, the eldest daughter in my family, and a cat-mom to my 14 year old black bombay cat, Meegs.
