If you’ve ever looked in the mirror halfway through an event and wondered where your makeup went… this one’s for you.

One of the biggest misconceptions about long-wear makeup is that it comes down to foundation alone.

In reality, longevity starts before foundation ever touches your skin.

✔ Proper skin prep

✔ The right primer

✔ Strategic layering

✔ Correct setting techniques

These are the same principles I use when creating makeup for clients who need their look to last through photos, celebrations, happy tears, dancing, and long Chicago summer days (and nights).

I love a good soft glam… but I play with bold looks too✨

I’ll always love a polished, glowing beat, but creating looks like this is what reminds me why I fell in love with makeup in the first place.

Smoky, dimensional, a little messy, a little magical.
Not “perfect”, but intentional.

key products:
beautiful skin foundation + powder bronzer
major headlines II palette
nouveau eyeshadow palette
demi wispies
le rouge interdit 229 - intense silk
lip jelly - xoxola spacepaste

This is your reminder that makeup doesn’t have to be “wearable” to be valuable.
It can be expressive. Emotional. Experimental.

Making time to play with looks like this makes me a better artist for my clients. 🫶
