It’s very rare that you would see me wear the colour pink in clothes but for makeup, the colour pink is an absolute yes! 💗

Aniska had this amazing, retro dress that she wore out for girls night and wanted to incorporate some green in the makeup look!

Ya’ll this is proof you can wear things other than your basic neutrals without it being too “out there”. And who cares anyways, wear the dress, wear the makeup, wear the boots - we all know you look damn good 😉

Salina’s trial was perfection! She loved her makeup, I loved her makeup, her friends were in love with her makeup - it was all the love. So glad to have another client turned friend 💜

I have a wedding booked tomorrow, Saturday AND Sun

I have a wedding booked tomorrow, Saturday AND Sunday! With clients sprinkled in between. It’s going to be a busy one! But I’ve made the decision to NOT take any bookings next September long. It’s called balance right!? 😅

Anyways, I’ll be posting my 2022 availability in my stories! I’m also taking 2023 weddings :)

September 1st always feels like a “new year” e

September 1st always feels like a “new year” even though I haven’t been in school for almost a decade 🤯

I finally feel like I can breathe just a tiny bit. I’ve had so many changes within my life this past little bit that I honestly feel like I was kinda just coasting by. I definitely have not been keeping up with social media in the way I probably “should” but meh, the world didn’t end from me not being “active”.

Since it feels like a fresh start to me I thought I’d do an intro to all my new friends on here! Thanks for following and appreciating my work 💗

1. I’m Des, also known as Makeupbydcmk for 7 years now
2. I LOVE being a makeup artist but this isn’t my full-time gig. I’ve worked with the University of Manitoba for 6 years and recently switched roles to a student advisor with the Indigenous Student Center (yay me!)
3. We recently purchased a home and it has been hectic as hell. Packing and painting always seem like easy jobs until you’re in the thick of it - ugh!
4. I can’t wait to renovate my new home makeup studio and take you along the journey!

Wanna know anything else? Comment below and let’s get to know one another! ☺️

You know when someone pops up in your life and afterwards you’re like woah, maybe there was a reason for it?

Tessa came to me to do makeup for her boudoir photoshoot and shortly afterwards (say a week or two) I was frantically messaging her about Mr. Kitty. He wasn’t doing good and then eventually passed away. The kindness, love and attention Tessa had provided to me was something I didn’t realize I needed. I was in such a panic and she was the first person I thought to message because of the great work she does at the vet clinic. It made loosing our fur baby a tiny bit easier because of the compassion Tessa showed me. #clientsthatbecomefriends - such a great thing 💜

I usually prefer to take my client photos in natural light rather than using my ring light but we did makeup in the basement of @glendalegolf .

Anyways, she cute ! 💁🏽‍♀️

If you’re comfortable with it, a full, dramatic lash is a great way to open up the eyes and have your makeup look a bit more glamorous 😍
