However, as different clients have different needs and preferences, she also asks clients for their specific make-up look inspirations so that she can cater to their specific wants, while enhancing it to better fit her artistic vision. Instead of giving make-up looks that completely alter the client’s look, she considers their distinct facial shapes, skin types, and complexion when creating a make-up look that will best fit the client’s features.

Inclusivity is not an issue for her as well, as she owns products with a wide variety of shades that match the client’s features. As for safety precautions, Wilma and her team always asks the client for any skin allergies or restrictions in relation to specific brands and products. In addition to this, she utilizes a standard make-up kit that contains all of her holy grails that compose of a variety of brands and products that best fit her style of make-up.

To keep up with the latest in the beauty industry, she not only reads articles about the current make-up trends, but also attends make-up master classes to keep up with the latest techniques. These days, she is currently preparing for a major make-up class by Make-Up Forever Academy in Paris this summer. She also makes sure to test a variety of local and international beauty brands to discover any new products to add to her holy grail. As her beauty services continue to prosper with more clients and bookings, Wilma and her team ensure that their services are of the best quality, and at the most reasonable prices.
