Currently pursuing her MA in Media and Communication in the United Kingdom, Funke has already made great strides in under two years. In 2022, she clinched the coveted Pinterest UK Creator Fund, an achievement that has boosted her confidence and expanded her network. Consistency & originality have brought her this far, and she advises fellow creators to “do what you are meant to do and stay true to yourself”.

Funke embodies experimentation and self-discovery on her journey with beauty and makeup. Her mantra is simple: find what works best for you.

Concealer- Funke lets her concealer stay a bit before blending upwards. As another hack, she uses a beauty blender rather than a brush, which helps better fill her pores and textured skin better. It  ensures  smooth coverage as well.
