B Pretty, Rachel Jones Makeup Artist

Blend now. Sleep later. ✨🦄

My week ahead is all about getting lost in the creative process — working on a short film, developing characters, creating looks and figuring out how all those little details come together to tell a story.

This is the part of being a makeup artist that I never want to lose: the experimenting, the problem-solving, the ridiculous amount of thought that can go into something as simple as “What would this character actually look like?”

It might look like makeup.

But to me, it’s storytelling. 🎬💄

And sometimes the characters keep me awake at night. 😂

Here’s to a week of creating, experimenting and making a little bit of movie magic.

Gentle hello from me 💫

June has started a little quieter than expected, which honestly feels a bit unfamiliar after such a busy few weeks.

I’ve been using the slower moments to reset, organize my kit, reflect, and reconnect with the parts of beauty I love most — helping people feel confident, cared for, and like themselves again.

There are some exciting projects and behind-the-scenes moments I’m looking forward to sharing soon, but for now I’m just appreciating a slower breath between the busy days 🤍

Hope everyone’s easing into the new month gently ✨

Spent today diving into The Art of Injury with Oscar-winning makeup artist —still processing how much I learned.

From subtle trauma to full storytelling through skin, this course pushed me to think beyond technique and really lean into intention and realism. So much inspiration packed into one day.

Swipe through to see some of the work I created during the session.
Also sharing a shot of me in makeup by the incredibly talented ✨

Grateful to keep learning, growing, and getting my hands dirty (literally).

🎬 Film Release Day!

The short film STUCK has just premiered on Omeleto, one of YouTube’s largest channels for award-winning short films — and I’m so proud to have been part of the project!

For this film I worked as Hair, Makeup, and SFX Artist, helping bring the characters to life on screen.

Always grateful for opportunities to work with such talented creatives in the film industry. ✨

I love all of this!

🚨 Estée Lauder Fined $750K for “Forever Chemicals” in Eyeliners!

Cosmetics giant Estée Lauder pleaded guilty in Ontario court (Jan 13, 2026) to breaking Canada’s environmental rules. They sold eyeliners with PFAS—a toxic “forever chemical” that doesn’t break down—without the mandatory heads-up to feds. Then they blew off an official order to fix it.

Fine goes to environmental restoration projects 👀

On January 13, 2026, Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd., was fined $750,000 at the Ontario Court of Justice in Toronto after pleading guilty to two counts of violating the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 ( ).

The fine will be directed to the Government of Canada’s Environmental Damages Fund and used to support projects that have a positive impact on Canada’s natural environment.
