Emmeline’s Story

At 13, Emmeline transformed her greatest insecurity into her most profound passion. Once haunted by the painful and persistent presence of severe facial acne, Emmeline tirelessly sought out ways to conceal her skin's imperfections. Little did she know, this was just the beginning as it unveiled a spark where artistry and self-expression could flourish.

Emmeline’s official creative journey began at College in the UK with a passion for photography and graphic design. Unplanned yet fortunately, Emmeline merged these skills, discovering a harmonious synergy between photography and makeup. By experimenting with lighting, positioning, and camera-friendly techniques, Emmeline developed a unique understanding of how to enhance makeup artistry for the lens. This fusion of skills not only elevated makeup application but also allowed her to capture stunning visuals, showcasing her artistry in a whole new light.

In 2012, Emmeline was introduced to social media, joining Instagram as a platform to showcase her passion for makeup. Spending hours alone in her bedroom, she would meticulously apply makeup, experimenting with techniques and styles. With each post, Emmeline curated a visual diary, hoping to catch the attention of makeup brands. Emmeline’s dedication was later recognised by popular brands at the time such as Illamasqua, Crown Brush UK, and Anastasia Beverly Hills.

Fast forward a few years, Emmeline’s persistent efforts eventually caught the attention of the iconic fashion house, Chanel, a global powerhouse renowned for excellence and sophistication. Recognising her artistry talent, warm & welcoming demeanour and bubbly personality.
