ELKE WILLEMEN

INNER & OUTER BEAUTY COACHING

v

Feel beautiful. Inside and outside...

Make-up isn't just about painting ones face, makeup also has the power to make you feel good from the inside out. Follow your intuition, get inspiration and guidance here and find true beauty from within. Make-up can help you to really start showing yourself to the outside world with confidence and ease; you can also start from the inside out by observing yourself through yoga and meditation.

Showing your authentic self is a mastery of bravery, dare to unlock your inner warrior. Elke Willemen will guide and inspire you to be brave and find your inner peaceful warrior.

Elke’s career as a top make-up artist got a plot twist: a burn-out. This didn’t mean the end of a career, it offered a new and fresh start where she went on an inner journey to find balance in life.

My Mission

Peaceful Warrior

Make-up isn't just about painting ones face, about adding a layer to mask who we truly are. For me makeup also has the power to make you feel good from the inside out. To emphasize your beauty from within. Showing your authentic self is a mastery of bravery, make-up can help you to start showing yourself to the outside world. By applying make-up in such a way that it gives you more confidence can be a first step to take of the mask. The mask we think we need to wear to survive in our society.

I wore my mask for years, and didn’t even realize it! I loved my job as a Global Senior Make-up Artist at MAC Cosmetics. I could create make-up looks, I could share and teach, I could travel the world and inspire others, working at the Fashion Weeks with top models, the best make-up artists and designers. I became really successful in my job. My life was good, so I thought..

In 2013 life offered me a big fat burn-out. Offered?! Without having the choice to reject it, it turned out to be a gift, a gift to reflect back on my life and find my true nature. My nurturing and caring nature. I love to work with people, to hear their stories, to share life lessons and to live from the heart and enjoy life more.

Enjoying the things that are important in life, ‘the little things’, the free things; like nature, love, togetherness, community, our senses, ..

Exploring our true essence, who we want to BE, who we truly are. What we can share or offer to the world.

My mission is to inspire, teach and enhance your inner and outer beauty - this time from the inside out and not just creating a beautiful outer layer. Reach your full potential and thrive in life.

Celebrate life!

I created this platform to inspire you to enjoy life more, to accept yourself with flaws and everything, the good and the bad, a platform to share so you can grow vigorously each day to become who you want to be. Become the best version of yourself, inside and out.

Building and strengthening your inner world gives you the courage to be yourself, fully and completely. Like I said, this requires a brave heart, it takes a lot of patience and self-love but believe me, it is so worth it. What you send out you get back, radiate joy and you will attract joy.

Release stress. Your mindset has a huge impact on your health and happiness, you get to choose, you create. It’s not how well you can avoid fear, it’s about how quickly you can return to love. Nurture yourself and be kind to yourself. Love yourself.

The Book

(only available in Dutch)

In mijn boek wil ik je eerst en vooral meenemen in mijn eigen verhaal.

De wereld van make-up artiest spreekt tot de verbeelding: elke dag kom je in contact met modellen, ontmoet je creatieve mensen enz. Maar wat houdt het eigenlijk allemaal in? Hoe is het om achter de schermen van de Fashion Weeks te werken? En zien die modellen er eigenlijk altijd zo geweldig uit?

Het antwoord op die laatste vraag is eenvoudig: nope. Het zijn ook maar gewone meisjes met gewone zorgen en problemen. Ook zij hebben soms wallen. Maar, belangrijk om te weten: ze hebben soms héél interessante trucjes om er in een oogwenk fabulous uit te zien. Om van die trucjes van mijn collega's nog maar te zwijgen...

Tips & Tricks

Daarnaast wil ik je uitleggen hoe je zelf snel bepaalde looks kunt bereiken. Waarop moet je letten? Welke look is haalbaar als het snel moet gaan? Welke look past bij jou? Hoe ga je te werk met kleurtjes?

En omdat je de buitenkant buitenkant nooit helemaal los van de binnenkant kunt zien, vind je doorheen het boek ook tips rond inner beauty: hoe kun je elke dag even uit de stress en de gejaagdheid stappen, hoe vind je opnieuw rust bij jezelf? Kortom: hoe overleef je in deze hectische maatschappij?
