        <p><span>For Haitian-American and New York City-based pro makeup artist <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ehlieluna/">Ehlie Luna</a>, understanding beauty and wellness has always come naturally to her; it&rsquo;s no wonder that she has made a career out of it and is a master of inside-out beauty. Not one to neglect holistic health, the creator has been on a plant-based diet for over 10 years now. </span></p>
        <p><span>Besides uploading easy-to-follow makeup tutorials and sharing beauty looks on her Instagram page, Luna actively teaches pro-MUA micro master classes and is a TEDx Speaker in her area of expertise. </span></p>

        <p><strong>Tell us about your first beauty memory. </strong></p>
        <p><span>My first beauty-related memory is connected to my mother. She was very much a &ldquo;beauty girl&rdquo;. She wore makeup, got her nails done, and got her hair done regularly. And sometimes, I watched her do her makeup. She was my first beauty idol. </span></p>
        <p><span><strong>What influenced your decision to become a pro makeup artist?</strong></span></p>
        <p><span>I had always loved <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/beauty/beauty-looks-cannes-film-festival-2023-to-steal-recreate-jennie-gigi-hadid-chanel-barbie-hair-makeup-trend">beauty</a>, magazines, and <a href="https://www.lofficielsingapore.com/beauty/james-reid-so-fire-marc-jacobs-fragrances-perfect-edt">pop culture</a>. I would give my sister head-to-toe makeovers, and then take pictures of her. The opportunity to get into makeup was something that came to me right after high school. That was when I went to assist at the ballet at Lincoln Center.</span></p>

                <p><span><strong>What have you observed about the correlation between beauty and wellness?</strong><br /></span><span></span></p>
                <p><span>One is incomplete without the other in my experience. No matter how well I can project with my appearance, if I don&rsquo;t feel it inside, I cannot genuinely exude any amount of confidence. </span></p>
                <p><span><strong>Has this impacted the way you perceive beauty now?</strong><br /></span><span>I think the correlation between the two is why, for me, beauty is felt as much as it&rsquo;s seen. </span></p>

        <p><span><strong>How have you incorporated beauty into your wellness routine?</strong><br /></span><span></span></p>
        <p><span>I have beauty routines and I have wellness routines. I wouldn&rsquo;t say I incorporate beauty into my wellness routines, but I find beauty in carrying them out. It&rsquo;s self-love in practice. </span></p>
        <p><span><strong>Based on your understanding of trends, what do you think we can expect to see in the future in terms of beauty&rsquo;s relationship with wellness and self-care?</strong></span></p>
        <p><span> </span><span>I believe we will see our grandmothers&rsquo; and their mothers&rsquo; remedies become more mainstream by way of tinctures, and other ingestible forms as well as different physical modalities. </span></p>
