01The founder

Nix Soriano

Makeup has a power that enables people to embrace freedom and express themselves.

What Nix believes

Our Chief Hair and Makeup Artist, Ms. Nix Soriano, is known not only for her deep set of dimples but also for her excellent service, her care for her clients and her genuine mentorship of her students.

She is based in Quezon City, Philippines, but will gladly ride to your event with her train cases and team to enhance the beauty in you. Her professional career of almost a decade is filled with challenges, excitement and victories.

Today, when she's not doing someone else's makeup, she's either empowering individuals to start their careers as hair and makeup artists or sharing priceless moments with her husband and twins. She gives so much importance to her role as a mentor that she would go the extra mile to lead her students down the right path in their careers.

02The team

Behind every class, every call.

From the first message to your last workshop, these are the people who keep the Institute running.

    Ms. Lei makes sure our students are updated with the latest news, gigs, activities and even discounts offered by the Institute, and she's the one who works with our brand partners. Ask her anything about makeup — from brands and products to technique, she's the perfect one to ask. No bias!
