My bride had a lot of specifics;

- she wanted bold eyes but for her eyes not to look too small
- she still wanted to see the eyeshadow despite her hooded eyes
- she wanted subtle blush
- she wanted a soft base that would last all day because she tends to get oily

Soft glam eyes using the “The Coffee Shop” palette ☕🤎✨

1. Place a warm brown shade above the crease
2. Deepen the folds with a darker brown shade to create dimension
3. Add an even darker brown into the outer corner and slightly into the crease to create a soft wing
4. Apply a n**e shade to the center of the lid and blend the darker brown into the n**e
5. Add shimmer to the inner corner and lightly over the n**e shade
6. Apply a thin black liner extending outward to accentuate the wing
7. Smoke out the wing with a dark eyeshadow
8. Finish with black kohl liner in the waterline

She thought makeup wasn’t for her…
Now she can’t stop smiling 😂✨

This is what happens when you meet an artist who can turn what’s in your head into reality.

Soft glam | natural finish makeup | makeup that feels like you

Behind the scenes of Born to Shine by Akilah Walcott ✨

There’s something powerful about seeing a vision come to life — from a thought, to a feeling, to a finished look that speaks before words do.

As a makeup artist, my role is simple: bring your vision to life in a way that feels elevated, aligned, and true to you. Beauty that translates on camera, but more importantly — confidence you can feel.

If you’ve ever had a look in your mind and needed the right artist to execute it with intention and precision, I’m your girl.

🎥 ✨Born to Shine✨ is now available on all streaming platforms.

She didn’t become someone else… she became the *elevated version of herself* ✨

That’s always the goal—soft glam that enhances, not hides. A bridesmaid look that photographs beautifully, lasts all day, and still feels like *you* in every moment 🤍

If you’re a bride who wants your bridal party to look cohesive, radiant, and effortlessly polished… I’ve got you.

Your blush ever get a little… too passionate? 😭

Before you even think about wiping it off — try this.
Press your foundation powder right over top of the blush to *soften, diffuse, and rebalance* the face without disturbing your base.

It’s giving seamless. It’s giving control. It’s giving “I meant to do that.” ✨

This is one of those small techniques that makes a BIG difference in how polished your makeup looks.

If you want to actually understand placement + control for your face (so this doesn’t keep happening), my 1:1 lessons are where we get into it 💋

Your makeup doesn’t need more powder… it needs balance.

One of the biggest mistakes I see with oily skin is layering powder on top of oil—and wondering why it starts to look heavy, patchy, or separated.

Here’s what actually works:

• First, remove the excess oil (this is the step everyone skips)
I use something unconventional—the back of my hand or a tissue—to gently lift the oil without disturbing the makeup underneath

• Then refine, not reset
If you want that smooth, freshly-done finish, go in lightly with a pressed powder + puff to perfect the skin—not mask it
For this look, I used Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder in 330 Toffee to bring everything back to life ✨

This technique will have your makeup looking like you just did it—even hours later.

If you’ve been struggling with oiliness, this is your sign to switch your approach.

I teach techniques like this in my lessons—because application is only half the equation, maintenance is what keeps you polished.
