Hi! Welcome to Auriel Beauty. My name is Oanh and this is my site.
Born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, I grew up taking the traditional pathway in life – completed school and found a job within the corporate world where I’ve been for too many years.
I was a very late bloomer when it came to beauty and makeup. Through-out high school sure, I knew girls were using it but I had no interest, money or the knowledge to explore and buy the numerous products that is now available in the market today.
Fast forward past high school, it wasn’t until my aunty gave me my first foundation (that she almost threw out!) that makeup started to peak my curiosity. Like they say, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure right? Fast forward a few years and makeup then became my obsession.
I went on to study makeup at the Elite Hair and Make Up Academy to expand my knowledge and skillset.
Full time, I worked in a corporate job where I learnt a lot and through that, I slowly found my love for organising, planning and discovering ways in how to make an already stressful enough life easier.
So what is Auriel Beauty? My name Oanh, comes from a Vietnamese word Hoang Oanh which translated is a type of bird – the golden oriele songbird. I didn’t like the Oriele spelling so I changed it to Auriel. Gives me more Ariel little mermaid vibes because who doesn’t love a good Disney princess?
Beauty is subjective and to me, is not just about the makeup. Life itself is beautiful and makeup is just one of the things we can use to help us look and feel beautiful.
In our world today, there is so much happening and enough stress to last us a lifetime and so, I want to help you come up with ways to organise and plan your life in such a way so that you don’t have to worry and stress, so that you can instead spend time finding, exploring and enjoying the beautiful things in life.
That, is Auriel Beauty.
Thank you for stopping by, I hope you stick around.
