2nd Skin isn't just our name - it's how makeup should feel
​
To us makeup isn't about hiding who you are. It's a way to express yourself, highlight what makes you shine and of course, to have fun! We believe that there's something in makeup for everyone, whether it's a barely-there glow or a bold statement, it should always feel true to you.
​
As makeup artists, we are here to help guide, inspire and celebrate every face because makeup shouldn't be intimidating, it should feel like yours.

I've been into beauty for as long as I can remember - I recall saving my pocket money to buy a Maybelline BB cream from 7/11 back when I was 9. I loved experimenting (...and stealing my mum's makeup) and through the years my makeup style changed and evolved. Getting ready and doing my makeup was my lil 'therapy time' that i always looked forward to. From there, I also started beauty content creation as an avenue to share my passion.
In my final year of university I found myself at a crossroads; work a job that didn't excite me, or take a leap to pursue my passion. I chose the latter, enrolled myself in a pro makeup course and never looked back.
I believe everyone deserves to look and feel their best no matter the time and place.There’s truly nothing like seeing someone light up when they love how they look and more importantly, how they feel. That kind of moment? It never gets old and honestly we would love to be a part of that!

A surprise post-O-Levels opportunity to work at a chain beauty store (cough cough) at 16 was experimental enough to pivot my passion towards all things beauty! Considering I was sporty in my youth and consistently roasting in the sun, the butterfly effect is very real.
​
Men's makeup was not as established as it is now, and believe you me, I've had my fair share of looking straight out of a Chinese opera theatre. Throughout the many retail & freelance makeup artistry gigs over the years intensifying my interest, a funky complaint over a subpar product on the internet kickstarted my content creation journey, and the rest as we say, is history!
​
I see "dolling myself up" as the greatest form of self-respect, you deserve to look and feel great every single day, and that's what we're here to help you with!
