Story | Gabbi Pascua Talks Emmy Award, Her Beauty Brand, and Motivation

Like most creatives, Gabbi Pascua’s journey is more comparable to a jigsaw puzzle than driving in a straight line on a one-lane road. I sat down with Gabbi to discuss her career highlights as an Emmy Award-Winning Makeup Artist, challenges, and aspirations. Gabbi talks about the importance of mentors, what influences have affected her life, and the life-changing advice her mom shared with her.
