From making an enchanting video giving make-up tips when she was just three years old to participating in the London Fashion Week aged only ten – that’s the amazing life story so far of Natthanan ‘Pear’ Sanunrat, an extraordinarily smart little lady from Chantaburi. It’s easy to see why the cute four-minute video, which is still available on youtube, has garnered an astonishing seven millions views. It shows an angelic Pear offering advice while carefully rubbing in and dabbing on various cosmetics, totally oblivious of the impact it would have.
For it set her on a path to fame, which continues to this day.

Like many three-year-old girls, Pear was initially inspired after playing make-up games online. She then made the video which caught the eye of her mum, who uploaded it on youtube, and encouraged her daughter’s hobby even more.
Dad played a somewhat surprising part too by allowing Pear to use him as a try-out model for her make-up techniques.
Over the years, and after many hours of practice, Pear’s parents decided to send their ten-year-old daughter to London to attend a make-up course. She so impressed her teacher that Pear was invited to join her at the London Fashion Week, where she helped to make-up four of the event’s top models.

Was she scared that she’d get it wrong? “Yes, at first,” remembers Pear. “But the models were so nice and friendly, I didn’t have to worry.”
Back in Thailand, Pear has become something of a sensation, working as a make-up artist for two of the country’s top models, Pearypi and Momay Paplearn.
Her career path so far hasn’t always been easy, however. Pear almost quit her hobby after facing some nasty social media bullying and only continued after words of support from friends, family and clients.
So, what advice does Pear have about make-up? “It helps your confidence if you’re not confident about yourself,” she reckons. “But if you are confident about the way you look, you don’t need it.”
What about the future? “I’m just concentrating on making youtube videos,” she says. And with so many followers already, that’s hardly surprising.
