I am beyond honoured and proud to have been recognised as Best Fashion Make-Up Artist — a statement so big to say out loud, let alone to own 😳! I’m learning to trust in the belief so many of YOU had in me when I didn’t 🥰
I will own this for Dawn, one day she’ll believe in herself the way she’s always believed in me, blindly and wholeheartedly ☀️
I will own this for all the sacrifices me & my husband made — the doubts, the schedule chaos, the tears, the late nights and long days apart
@dor812 this is for you ❤️
To my parents, for teaching me hard work, perfection, and humility. To my sisters
@laney577 & Marvic; your fashion sense lit the spark in me, and your makeup drawers were my escape from childhood chaos 💔
I will own this for my extended family, my clients - YOU guys 🥹 SUPPORTING ME, PUSHING ME, always BELIEVING IN ME and NEVER LEAVING ME - you are my backbone, my energy and I will cherish this for all of my life - this is our win - I LOVE YOU !
I will own this for artists out there who like me, once saw this kind of recognition as a distant dream. Those still waiting for their moment - know your worth. Forget the social pressure and focus on your YOU power💪
I owe this to those who pushed me into this industry;
@parascandalo you brought me in even when I knew so little about fashion - you knew always I’d get to this point THANK YOU will never be enough !

@maltafashion &
@elainevenere — El, you know what I’m feeling, I’ll own this for you too. You both work tirelessly to create this platform, to push artists like me beyond comfort zones and into something greater. Thank you for seeing me✨
It’s still a “pinch me, I’m dreaming” moment. It’s a journey to truly accept this and believe I am worthy of it - but I will, because all of YOU believed in me 🥰
My promise to you all is that I will continue to show up, stay grounded and be just ME ! 💫
