Haha, I am so happy that finally it is done! We went through 15 prototypes in those two years just to perfect that curve to achieve that easy to apply, streak free finish I wanted.

It can be used on all face makeup products. From your skincare prepping, primer application, foundation, contouring, blush, highlight and powder setting. We have even tested it with cream, gel, liquid and powder products. Excellent for your cushion foundation without the mess (just keep the sponge for within the day touch up)! Glide for general coverage and stipple with the brush for increase coverage!

I love it and I hope the users of the UDIA brush will too!

Best part is that I get to test products before it is launch. I can even test products 1-2 years before the product launches! Also I love empowering women and men by embracing who they are and the best thing about them.
In this age of excessive photoshop, there are so many people who think they are not “perfect” because they are overwhelmed by excessive corrected images (even worse when social media aids in this bombardment).
Worse thing? I can list my major two pet peeves.

1. They think I am a photoshop artist.
   “Oh I want this sexy look but not too much bronzer” -A Chinese customer wanting to look like J-Lo.
2. They do not value my skills set.
   “Makeup is so expensive?!” – A bride who is doing her wedding at a top notch hotel and who is wearing a Vera Wang dress. Sweetie, you are paying for my skill and time; or maybe you shouldn’t be buying that Vera Wang dress that you are wearing only once.

• Trying to understand how to get into the different work scope of the market and how the different groupings work together
• Getting my name out to people in the industry especially as newbie.
• People telling me that my makeup was too “MAC” for the local market. Which is strange because I was trained under the MAC Cosmetics Techniques and I think that is more of an international way of applying makeup.
• I was told that I have to do hair to earn proper money. Which is even stranger because I solely do makeup and get paid only for doing makeup still.
• Bad payments that can be 9-12 months late, or worse some people do not pay at all.

Social media bullshitters where “people beat their new face out” with wrong colour foundation and contour that looks like manure slathered across their whole face; then ladening on with more powder highlighter because they have to bring “life” back into the skin because they put so much on the face that they look like a post processed corpse. And let’s not talk about that horrible brows that look like they took the rejected swoosh from Nike and dump it on their face.

Both cause I love my shoes!
