Tags:           

Tiny Pinili is fast becoming one of the preferred makeup artists in Davao City. In a span of 5 years, this beauty maven has made a name for herself with her magic wand of a brush, prettifying brides and models all over the region. With a continuing drive to excel in her profession, she has become known for her dedication, attention to details, natural sense of style, and diverse creativity.

 

Tiny’s passion for beauty and art began in her early childhood when she started playing with her mom’s makeup kit. “I remember being scolded by my mom for making a mess of our bedroom walls with my drawings. I used to drawfaces on walls using my mom’s makeup.”

Tiny has always been fascinated with colors. In high school, she learned about makeup application by browsing through fashion magazines and going online to check out tips and techniques.

After high school, Tiny surrounded herself with friends and colleagues who shared similar interest in hairstyling, makeup, and photography. She was captivated by the beauty she discovered in portraiture, and started collaborating with her friends for fashion shoots. She then worked together with the creative team of LeadFoto Studios and fellow makeup artist Mae Ann Cortez, through whom she has built a strong client base throughout the city. Working alongside events and wedding planners and highly repespected lensmen also helped her gain a reputable spot in the industry.

Realizing that this was the career she wanted to pursue, Tiny decided to enroll in a beauty academy in Manila, where she studied hair and makeup under the tutelage of world-renowned instructors.  

Tiny’s approach to hair and makeup is “less is more” especially with brides and bridesmaids. She pays close attention to her client’s personality and best features. She also loves to explore her creativity, break the rules, and play with colors.

Being a makeup artist is not just a career choice to Tiny. It is also a hobby and a passion which she has remained dedicated to from the moment she set her foot in the beauty industry. Her creative talents go beyond make-up as she has exhibits her skills in hair styling for high profile commercial and bridal shoots.

“I find excitement and satisfaction in meeting and developing strong bond with all the clients I work with.”
