the story of the makeup guru

Xhenisa Gjonaj migrated to the United States over 22 years ago with her mother and sister from Germany. Her mother and father moved to Greece from Albania with Xhenisa when she was young and then lived in Germany for a couple years where her sister was born. Xhenisa grew up with a single mother who worked extremely hard to give her and her sister the best life she possibly could. Xhenisa, as the older sibling, learned a lot from her mother and started to work very young while going to school and also helping take care of her younger sister. Today, Xhenisa is still this incredibly hard working, determined, and resilient person, working a full time job, just got her esthetician license while also doing makeup and lashes on the side. She knows how blessed she is to live in the land of opportunities and she doesn't take it for granted. Definition of a #girlboss.
