Loved creating this timeless, radiant look for my lovely client’s night out. When the base is this smooth and glowing, you don’t need heavy filters—just great lighting and a little makeup magic 🎨🪄Thank you .baz for your trust in me, it was so lively to meet you 😊.
Do my friends count? 😬😜😊. Breaking into the beauty industry takes time, patience, and a whole lot of coffee. Fellow entrepreneurs and MUAs, how did you handle those first few weeks after launching your business? Drop your best advice (or words of encouragement) for a new artist below! 👇🏽❤️ NewBusinessOwner

✨ Soft glam never goes out of style. ✨
A wash of shimmer, softly smoked eyes, glowing skin, and a glossy lip—the perfect balance between natural and elevated.
Because makeup doesn’t have to be loud to make a statement. 🤍
The client liked the overall look but thought the blush was too pink. Guess what? It’s absolutely ok to speak up and say if there is something about your makeup you did not like, I can fix it. 👩🔧💄💋 In this case, I grabbed my foundation brush and patted over the pink to tone down the color, grabbed a fluffy brush to continue diffusing color and repeated until we reached the desired flush of color! 💕.

You spend all your time practicing and perfecting the smokey eye look only to realize that your dog nailed the look since birth 🐶🐾🥺😑🤦🏻♀️.
Soft glam doesn’t just happen… my kit and I are out here working overtime 😂✨
Being a makeup artist means constantly investing in your kit because the beauty industry stays keeping us on our toes. One day you find a new holy grail, the next day your favorite product gets discontinued for absolutely no reason 🥲
At this point, my makeup kit is basically my employee. She needs a clean workspace, regular upgrades, continuing education, emotional support, and an occasional expensive ULTA trip so she can continue performing at her best 💄🫶.
