We had the pleasure of hanging out with self-thought and ever-bubbly make-up artist; Ummi Nasir to give us the deep dive on how she got her start, the products she lives for – plus what inspires this beauty magician!

3. Do you remember when you first became interested in beauty? what sparked your interest? Staying in Japan for 5 years triggered my passion in beauty/makeup. I love how Japanese girls really take care of their appearance. I remember how my classmates wear full makeup in class! From there I started to apply basic makeup, you know like foundation, eyeliner and lipstick! Can you imagine, before I was absolutely clueless on how to put eyeshadow on myself and even my eyebrows were haywire at that time! haha
- SUN SCREEN! I love Kiehls Ultra Light Daily UV Defence SPF 50, this is essential if you want to look younger than your age “wink” YOU’LL thank me later
- Ka-brow Benefits for eyebrows & NARS Audacious Lipstick. When your eyebrow is on point & your lips are coloured, you are good to go!
7. On a life well-lived… What Motto do you live by? Just Go With it! Be Confident & Brave
