Pink
Makeup artist
Pink relaxes at her favourite cafe and shares her journey from banking to beauty: “I love being a make-up artist. I love beauty but I find it rewarding to help others feel good about themselves. I never thought to open a business at first and even worked in a bank for five years. Even though it was promising, I wanted to chase my dreams. I am into Korean culture so decided to go there to study their language first and also learn about beauty. Now my clients are mostly based on Hong Kong Island and being in Causeway Bay is associated with quality.”
