Victoria Yabut (@victoriayabut) is a Portland-based makeup artist, musician, and creative entrepreneur passionate about helping people feel confident while bringing creative visions to life. Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, with roots in Pampanga, Philippines, she brings a unique perspective as an AAPI creative working across the beauty, fashion, and entertainment industries.

Victoria began her career as a freelance makeup artist and has spent the last six years working with clients across commercial productions, modeling portfolios, editorial shoots, fashion shows, special events, and creative campaigns. In 2025, she founded VAY Studios, a creative studio built as a home for her beauty clients and a space where photography, video production, and creative direction could come together under one roof. Today, VAY Studios serves as a collaborative hub for artists, brands, and professionals seeking high quality beauty and visual content.

Her work has included portfolio development for modeling agencies, commercial and editorial productions, artist press shoots, and creative campaigns. She has also appeared as a model in the Farmacy Beauty Green Clean campaign featured in Sephora stores and has collaborated with brands including Artist Couture and L.A. Colors.

Alongside her work in beauty and production, Victoria is an independent recording artist and creative director. She released her debut EP, Overdue, in 2022 and has continued building her presence as a performer throughout the Pacific Northwest. She has headlined shows such as The Thesis, performed for More Than Rolling x Zumiez events, and regularly brings her music to fashion shows, community events, and live showcases. Known for her hands-on approach, Victoria is deeply involved in the creative process, often directing, producing, and editing the visual content that accompanies her music.

Whether she's behind the makeup chair, leading a production set, or performing on stage, Victoria's goal remains the same: to create meaningful experiences that empower others and celebrate authentic self-expression.
