Hello!

I’m Luisa, a professional makeup artist.

Specializing in makeup for weddings, events, corporate clients, and professionals in Madrid, Seville…

Telling you about myself means sharing a story full of contrasts—but hey, it is what it is, and it’s my story, so… here goes!

My beginnings.

My mother owned a care home for the elderly and always suggested I train as a nursing assistant so I could apply those skills there. I wasn’t sure about that path; meanwhile, I was doing hair removal and makeup just for the sheer joy of it—and even styling hair for family and friends for various events—but as people used to say back then: “there’s no future in being a hairdresser or beautician.”

I eventually decided to train as a nursing assistant—a job I didn’t mind—but what I truly loved and enjoyed effortlessly was makeup and anything related to aesthetics. So, I later prepared for the program to become a Senior Technician in Aesthetics.

My practical training essentially involved running the small beauty salon I had always dreamed of; life handed it to me because the owner had fallen ill. Instead of learning from her, I had to take charge of the center entirely on my own. At just 23 and with no professional experience, I had to face a clientele she had been treating for 20 years. I still remember my hands sweating every time I had to attend to a client. Now *that* was real hands-on training!

Over time, the clients grew accustomed to me, and I gained extensive experience in aesthetics and makeup.

I know this isn’t easy—not everyone is born with a clear calling—but I encourage you to explore and think about something you’re naturally good at, something that doesn’t feel like a chore. Head in that direction; remember, work is where you’ll spend the most hours of your life.

After 14 years running my own beauty salon, life dealt me ​​the saddest, most painful blow: my mom passed away. I had to close my business and take over her senior care home.

This shift required me to overcome challenges on every level. It was the hardest period of my life, yet it never stopped me from doing makeup—there was always demand for it. Plus, the work I’ve been able to do with “my seniors” is truly priceless today. I think Mom would be proud…

This new situation brought more responsibilities but also more schedule flexibility, giving me time to do what I love—and letting you get to know me a little better: makeup, yoga, a bit of flamenco, and traveling. Quite a mix, right? It sure is. Despite my personality and temperament, I am spiritual, deep, and—at heart—*flamenca*! An everyday woman from Seville and a citizen of the world. Even so, there is one thing I still need to do: learn English.

These days, I never stop learning—not just about makeup and everything that world entails, but also about finding and maintaining my “inner peace.” It is no easy task, yet it is crucial for enjoying every day and feeling truly fulfilled.

I was once asked: “How do you see yourself in five years?”

My conclusion was: however and wherever I may be, as long as I have inner peace.

That is the path I am following, because I was born with a calling…
