Serena - Mangroove

Her T-shirt said it all: “Feeling exactly how I feel: Blessed.” And that simple yet profound message became a mirror of what I was experiencing that day.

 

Just before starting the session with Serena, I received a call that paralyzed me inside. My grandmother had passed away. Amidst the emotion, the pain, and the memories, I felt something else: a serene peace and immense gratitude. Her time had come, and now she was resting. There was no room for pause. Duty called, and my professional commitment must continue.

 

Serena didn't know what was happening, but her sweetness, respect, and calm energy were the refuge she needed without asking for it. We were there to prepare her for a special occasion, applying the Pure Beauty service: a fusion of professional makeup and professional hairstyling, designed to enhance each woman's personal essence, even in the hot and humid climate of Guanacaste.

 

Natural Beauty, Costa Rican Elegance

At Serena, we created a fresh, elegant, and long-lasting look. I used specialized heat-resistant makeup techniques, ideal for ensuring her look remained intact throughout the day. Her social hairstyle was tailored to her hair texture and the style of the event, achieving a perfect balance between naturalness and sophistication.

 

As a professional makeup artist, I understand that beauty isn't just about appearance. It's a state of mind, a moment of calm, an act of self-care. And that day, while I was curating Serena's look, I also found solace in the routine I love so much.

 

A Memory That Transcends Work

Being part of experiences like this, where aesthetic services become a moment of true connection, reminds me why I chose this path. Because beauty, when offered with respect and love, can heal.

 

Thank you, Serena, for your unwitting presence. And thank you, life, for allowing me to continue creating, even when my heart needs support.
