A blushing bridal inspired look 💕✨

It was such an honor to put together and be a part of yet another successful education day at with , where got to demonstrate two beautiful hairstyles and got to be one of them!

Pink-leaning looks will always be one of my “defaults” because it’s so universally flattering. The ethereal eyes nature palette was perfect for this look to create that soft and diffused eye, paired with blush and ambient lighting palettes to bring that same effect to the skin. And of course, I always use highlighters to make the eyes and cheeks POP!

A little walk down memory lane for today’s post 🤍

I remember when I first started doing makeup in 2015/2016. I was using whatever I could afford while I worked in salons, not really having an idea of what I was doing. Delusional confidence, if you will.

As I grew into my artistry, I was blind to my own growth because I was so tunnel visioned to look forward. But you don’t realize how much you’ve changed as an artist, business owner, and person until you look back.

These are just a few of the things that change with you as you grow into your inner artist. There’s a lot more from where this came from and I’d love to share a part 2 with you if this resonated with you!

To aspiring and beginner makeup artists: I see you. It’s overwhelming starting in this industry, and I can only imagine what it’s like now with living in a world with AI and social media. You’re not behind if you don’t have a specific product or haven’t nailed that one technique you’ve been practicing on.

You’re exactly where you need to be. Keep going. 🤍

As I've conducted a handful of 1:1's recently I noticed a majority of them are with new/aspiring artists, some of which have never worked with a paying client. This is the biggest thing to know if you're in that position.

You can buy all the viral products, indulge in the social media trends, and watch all the online tutorials. At the end of the day, however, understanding theory will always be the ultimate way of elevating your work and building confidence in yourself as you grow.

These steps are ones I've put together to help anyone who's starting out:

✨ take the guesswork out of "what do I do next?"

✨ relieve some intimidation and overwhelm

If you're a new makeup artist struggling with practical application and just getting comfortable with doing makeup, or maybe you're a working artist who needs to get out of a creative slump, I'm here to help. Schedule a 1:1 with me and I'll show you everything you need to know to build your confidence behind the brush.

An American, soft glam take on Aussie glam ☀️

I knew as soon as .e.b.artistry sat down that I wanted to create a bronzey, lived in vibrant but keep it somewhat "glam". She already rocks warm tones in her everyday routine, so it was a no brainer that I would do the same!

☀️ warm tones to bring out her features (skin, eyes, hair)
☀️ medium depth level to balance out the natural depth in her features
☀️ shimmer and radiance on both eyes, cheeks, and lips to maintain cohesion

KEY PRODUCTS:

vision cream cover mixed with base thinner to let skin shine through

bronzers for eyeshadow and cheeks for a monochromatic, bronzey moment

highlighter in exhilarate DUHHH iykyk

Brown lash clusters from Amazon with aqua resist pencil

All of these products, plus others, are featured in my shopmy, link in bio to shop! 🥰

Hair by the incredible and amazing 🤍

Wedding season is officially here, and the sunkissed looks are in full motion!

and I go back around 10 years working as front desk staff for a local salon and I was SO excited when she reached out for her bridal glam 🥰

Rachel has always leaned into a more natural look, and she was a natural beauty on her big day. This look is perfect for those who:

☀️ are naturally tanned or have a spray tan
☀️ want something "sunkissed" think bronzer, warm, "just got home from Italy" vibes (although if you ARE getting married in Italy i can be there 👀)

These products are my go to's when achieving that look:
bronze base thinner (also used as a liquid bronzer!)
rosy blush mixed with spicy is theeee perfect sunkissed cheek
diffused heat for a flushed effect

If this look is your vibe, let's chat! Find out more about my services through the link in my bio ✨
