Nice to meet you! I’m Elaine

Before venturing into the beauty world, I worked as a bank relationship manager and was trained in accounting, gaining experience in multinational corporations, government organizations, SMEs, and international companies. However, I grew tired of the routine of month-end reconciliations and decided to explore makeup as a hobby. What started as part-time work soon grew into a fully-booked business, leading me to leave my full-time accounting job and pursue makeup artistry full time.

Within less than two years, I began training other makeup artists and opened my first studio in Tanjong Pagar. My team expanded to over 10 talented makeup artists. In the same year, I also launched a bridal shop that quickly became a booming success! Throughout all this, I continued offering courses and providing eyebrow embroidery services to my clients.

After nearly 3 years, I made the decision to close the bridal shop due to space limitations and the expiration of the lease. It was a blessing, as I was able to close before the pandemic hit.

With a forward-thinking mindset, I then founded L’eaine Skincare, which experienced incredible growth in its early years. Later, I also delved into property investment, slowing down my pace to focus on new opportunities.

Looking back, my journey in the beauty industry has been nothing short of a drama-filled adventure. Many have wondered how I manage to master so many things at once, but I believe that when you dedicate your time and energy to what you truly love—without distractions—you can accomplish anything.
