Loving makeup since a young age, Tracy graduated with a Diploma in Professional MakeUp Artistry from Cosmoprof in 2007. She attempted being a makeup artist after graduating in 2007 but was often taken advantage of by people as she was new, so she switched to working in a bank doing sales for 7 years but her love and passion in makeup was always still in her. In 2011, she felt leaded to volunteer in Church doing makeup and through God’s miraculous ways and from the promptings from her makeup mentor, Christine Chia, whom she sought to upgrade her skills for Bridal Hairstyling and MakeUp, she finally embarked on her journey as a full time Professional MakeUp Artist in 2016.
Since then, she had also sought lessons from Taiwan Teacher, Lynn Lee for Bridal Styling, Cherry Au from Autelier to further improve her hairstyling skills, Tomoya Tamada on the Japanese airy textured hair styling techniques, Amanda Cheong for Japanese Hairstyling techniques and Julie Kim for authentic Korean MakeUp techniques as she believes that everybody has something different to learn from and with constant upgrading, she can learn different techniques and stay current.
Tracy have also been working in Mediacorp for many production sets which includes artistes like Zoe Tay, Rebecca Lim, Paige Chua, Pierre Png, Desmond Tan, Shane Pow and many more and have also worked in Commercials for 100Plus, KFC, Est Lab etc
Corporate shoots which requires a more natural overall look is something Tracy gets engaged for and she have worked with companies like NTUC Income, SingPost, Lendlease and many more.
