Buttery, glowy skin for a beautiful ‘no makeup, makeup’ look! 😍🤤

Two days down, 20 more to go 🤞🏽

Fingers crossed that these restrictions won’t get extended into June! It was so hectic and disheartening having to message all my clients to deliver the bad news and reschedule. May is usually the month where business really, really picks up, so this was super sucky but I get it and am more than willing to do my part.

My boyfriend and I are off to get our vaccine this afternoon and I am so excited. I feel like I am going to get emotional because it’s one step closer in ending all of this and doing my part to ensure I take care of my family, my friends and my community.

Thanks to all my clients for your continued support and understanding. Your random messages of kindness mean more than you know. I can’t wait until I can get back to doing what I love, with you!

Stay safe out there 💜

💕PINK is definitely my favourite bold colour to use when it comes to makeup. Pink eyes, pink cheeks, pink lips - it’s just so pretty! How many of you would rock an eye like this? Even just once?? 😏

I had so much fun doing makeup for Issett and her mama, Cindy! The look on Issett’s face was priceless - she said she didn’t want to wash it off 😂❤️

Cindy is a good friend of mine - we met at the University of Manitoba and instantly hit it off. You know those people that are just feel good people. They just have this positive, amazing energy around them, beautiful smile and laughter. Yup, that’s Cindy! So happy I was able to do makeup for her and her daughter 🥰

Be you. Do you. For you. . . Sometimes as a makeu

Be you. Do you. For you.

Sometimes as a makeup artist I have polarizing feelings about the “work” I do. When I post a before and after photo I don’t want folks to think “oh... this makeup artist only cares about the after and how makeup hides or alters peoples imperfections”. Because that’s far from the truth. I love showing my work and how subtle changes can bring fourth a world of confidence but I also want folks to know they truly are beautiful both before and after!

And then on the other hand, I want folks to know that makeup can be an expression of yourself. It can be empowering and fun to see yourself in a way that you don’t usually. Sometimes, when you put on makeup, you’re saying, “Here I am. I took three minutes today for myself because, you know what, I deserve it.”
.
Today was a busy day filled with virtual meetings. I started my morning thinking I was going to do a full face of makeup only to stop after filling in my brows... you know why? Because today I just didn’t feel like it and I know I’m worthy with or without makeup. I’m beautiful with or without makeup. I’m smart with or without makeup. And I can show up and be loved and appreciated with or without makeup.

Here’s your reminder that you can be a person that loves makeup one day and doesn’t need or want it the next. You do you boo, you do you! 😘
