PMU Artist Divine Grace Alecha Takes Stage in Ombre Brows Competition
Master artist Divine Grace Alecha of Anaura Brows International has stepped onto a significant platform in the beauty world, competing in the prestigious Body Art Competition hosted by Beauteverse. Despite her growing reputation, Alecha humbly describes herself not as an expert but as a normal person outside of competitions and titles.
From Curiosity to Commitment: A Two-Year Journey
On Wednesday, January 28, 2026, Alecha represented Anaura Brows International in the Semi-Permanent Makeup Ombre Powder Brows category. Her entry into this field wasn't driven by immediate passion but rather through encouragement from her observant father.
"I used to not have much passion before," Alecha confessed. "But I've always been fond of drawing and liked grooming my eyebrows."
Her father noticed her interest in makeup, particularly eyebrow work, and encouraged her to explore the beauty industry further. What began as casual curiosity has slowly transformed into serious commitment over two years. Today, Alecha offers professional brow and lip services while establishing herself in the semi-permanent makeup industry.
Facing Doubts and Embracing Learning Opportunities
Alecha shared that she was personally invited by the owner of Anaura Brows International to join the Body Art Competition organized by PMU Philippines. This platform is renowned for highlighting Korean beauty techniques and emerging talents across the Philippines.
Preparation involved constant practice and confronting inevitable self-doubt. "There will always be fear and doubt, especially when you're a beginner," Alecha acknowledged. "But I've learned it's part of the process."
For this dedicated artist, joining the competition isn't about proving mastery but demonstrating willingness to learn. She openly admits she isn't an expert yet but emphasizes her commitment to fully honing her potential within the semi-permanent cosmetics industry.
Championing Beginners in the Beauty Industry
At the core of Alecha's journey lies a powerful advocacy shaped by her personal experience. She actively encourages beginners not to feel intimidated by the competitive beauty industry, believing competitions like Beauteverse create valuable space not only for seasoned professionals but also for those still finding their footing.
"I want to encourage others that being a beginner isn't a hindrance to reaching their dreams," she shared passionately. "As an artist, I also want fellow artists to reach their aspirations."
Art with Purpose Beyond Aesthetics
For Alecha, body art transcends mere aesthetics. It represents an opportunity to help people feel confident, particularly those who struggle with insecurities or find daily makeup application challenging. She views semi-permanent makeup as an art form with genuine purpose and meaningful impact.
Valuable Lessons Beyond the Beauty Canvas
Through her competition experience, Alecha discovered that passion grows through dedicated effort. "If you want something, commit to it and give it your all," she advised.
Her confidence, she noted, didn't develop overnight but was built gradually through consistent practice, continuous learning, and accumulated experience. In her professional work, Alecha places high value on discipline, hygiene, and respect for clients, emphasizing that talent alone proves insufficient in the semi-permanent cosmetics industry.
Future Aspirations and Clear Message
Following the competition, Alecha hopes to see growth both in technical skill and purposeful direction. She plans to continue participating in competitions while advocating for beginners, with long-term goals of making beauty services more widely accepted and accessible throughout the Philippines.
When asked what message she wants readers to remember, Alecha keeps it concise and powerful: "Fight for your goals." This simple yet profound statement encapsulates her journey from hesitant beginner to competing artist, serving as inspiration for aspiring beauty professionals across the nation.
