Mango Lassi

"Make-up allowed me to express my feminine side that was suppressed for a large portion of my adolescence. I was forced into a hyper-masculine life by my parents and peers.

When the time came for me to live authentically, the doors holding that feminine energy burst open, and Mango Lassi was born. As a visual artist, it wasn't difficult to transfer my skills to applying make-up; my face became my new canvas."
