MEET THE MANAGEMENT TEAM

KRISTINE "TIN" LUCAS

FOUNDER, GRANS MASTER TRAINER

 

A loving wife, mother of three and an entrepreneur. Before venturing into the aesthetics industry, her first stint was as a Marketing Manager for a well-known I.T. Company. Though already successful in her initial career, her innate skills and love for Makeup keeps resurfacing. What started as a hobby that she enjoyed for herself slowly found its way to family and friends. This then made her decide to finally take formal training. What she initially thought would just hone her skills did more than that. This opened to more opportunities and endless possibilities than she expected.

She started training locally at The Basement Academy (now called HD Academy), Center for Aesthetics Sciences (CAS), Makeup Forever & Kryolan Philippines.

To further hone her skills and equip herself with the necessary tools to realize her dream of creating not only a name in the industry but to provide quality service to her clients, she then pursued further studies abroad. She continued her makeup training both under Kryolan & Muse Beauty Pro in San Francisco, Salon Boutique Academy in Texas and Yumi Lashes in Beverly Hills, LA. Realizing the latest trend in Permanent Makeup, she then took lessons in Eyebrow Embroidery & Permanent Makeup in Aesthetics International Academy in Singapore and Pitangui Lee Na Young Academy in Korea, Biotouch in Thailand, Biotouch in the US and attended the Permanent Makeup Convention in Amsterdam, Netherlands.   

She also became a guest makeup artist for the infamous Jing Monis Salon in Greenbelt and Alabang. Jing Monis is a well-known Makeup and Hairstylist with over 25 years of experience and presence in the industry. 

She was then slowly carving a name for herself in the industry thus started doing several projects for TV networks and their personalities. Kristine Reyes, Danica Sotto, Denise Laurel, Jonalyn Viray and even the famous broadcast journalist – Mike Enriquez to name a few. 

From concert gigs for Kevyn Lettau and The Company, print ads for Sen. Manny Pacquiao, for Chefs Roland & Jackie Laudico's billboards for Robina Farms to Magazine projects where she has done some stints on behalf of Jing Monis Salon for BC Magazine, Philippine Tatler and Working Mom for The Bloc by Junie Sierra. 

Several corporate AVPs  and social media / print ads are also under her belt. This includes, and not limited to, Metrobank, BPI, Maxicare, Geely, Troot by East West Bank and the First ever Digital Billboard for Globe Telecom. 

All these eventually gave way to her being interviewed in TV with Vicky Morales in The Good News, was featured in Smart Parenting magazine and also became a print ad endorser for Celeteque and Rexona.  Kristine is frequently interviewed in national television for successfully starting a training school that empowers women to follow their passion.

At present, Kristine Lucas is the current Makeup Trainer  / Owner of Permanent Makeup Academy PH and Master Makeup Artist / Owner of The Aesthetic Studio by Kristine Lucas.  Also now an AUTHOR and has published her 1st book in Amazon & Kindle Publishing as well as Apple Books.

Kristine and her team are continuously enhancing their skills and updating themselves with the latest international trends and developments thru constant trainings here and abroad. This is in line with their commitment to deliver quality, the latest yet affordable aesthetic, makeup and beauty trainings and services to the Philippines.

Now, not only is she one of the most sought-after makeup and hairstyle artist for special private events and corporate projects, she is now one of the most sought-after gurus in the aesthetics industry as well.
