Layla Sriyanonda is known for her book Life In Flight Mode, published by Salmon Books. It narrates the author's experiences as a flight attendant trainee. Recently, Layla released another book, Mabuhay Manila, or a journal of her days as a make-up trainee in Manila.
While Layla was a student at the Faculty of Journalism and Mass Communication, Thammasat University, she visited Manila and was inspired to become a make-up artist by beauty influencer Amata "Pearypie" Chittasenee. To develop her make-up skills, Layla took a course in Thailand where she met a professional stylist at GMM Grammy who gave her opportunities to work for celebrities and models. Due to her hard work, Layla was able to save 100,000 baht.
During her two-month summer break from Thammasat University, young Layla decided to enhance her make-up experience abroad. But with limited money, she had to search for a creative make-up agency in Asia. She later found Artist and Company in the Philippines and applied to be an assistant make-up artist there.
