Soft Glam with Purpose
Hi, I’m Nona! The face behind NOURAGLOW and a makeup artist based in Brunei who built her business from the ground up, fueled by quiet determination, soft glam obsession and a lot of heart.
After I graduated in 2015, I entered one of the most difficult chapters of my life. I was trying to find a stable job, but nothing seemed to work out. That in-between period of waiting, job hopping, second-guessing was honestly one of the most depressing times for me. But I kept moving, doing food and delivery runs just trying to make ends meet.
I always loved makeup. I’d watch youtube tutorials, scroll through red carpet looks, and obsess over Hollywood glam and Victoria’ Secret fashion show makeup. The glow, the elegance, the effortless beauty. I didn’t know when or how, but deep down, I knew I belonged somewhere in that world.
The turning point came in 2019, I joined a bridal makeup class by Syed Faizal Syed Noh in Miri. That experience lit a fire in me. It was the first time I saw effortless, radiant makeup being truly embraced. Back then, where I’m from the standard was bold and full coverage looks. More was more. I loved softer, more natural glam. That class opened my eyes to a different kind of beauty, softer and quietly powerful. It made me realize that glam did not have to shout to make a statement. That moment was definitely a calling.
Since then, I started to build my kit and portfolio slowly, gradually investing in my craft while building my confidence too. I’ve dedicated myself to becoming a trusted bridal and event makeup artist in Brunei, known for soft glam looks that enhance your natural beauty. My signature style focuses on making you feel like the best version of you; elegant, radiant and timeless both in person and in photos.
I take a limited number of clients per day to give my full presence. Just calm and intentional artistry crafted around your comfort and vision.
If you believe in makeup that feels effortless yet elevated, you’re in the right place.
Let’s create something beautiful together.
Yours Truly,
Nona Takong
