✨ CLIENT SPOTLIGHT ✨

When two creatives get together, Halloween gets a little extra 🛡⚔️

Cameron Feldman always comes to me with the most fun visions, and I love getting to bring them to life. I can’t wait to create with you again this year, Cameron!!

My Halloween books will be opening soon, and appointments fill FAST every year.

📍 This season I’ll be working out of Black Amethyst Hair Co. so I can take as many of you spooky people as possible. 👀

Stay tuned.

Oh Wayne Goss - Artist you officially have me ugly crying over here. 😭😭❤️

Devastated. What a beautiful woman. RIP ❤️

BREAKING: Dolly Parton, a country music legend and cultural icon, has died. She was 80. 😪

It’s getting closer to my favorite time of year as a special fx makeup artist… Halloween season. 🎃🖤

I’m a Tampa Bay makeup + special FX artist and a lifelong horror movie enthusiast, and this year I want to create something a little different.

I’m looking for a few talented bo***ir photographers or photographers who have been wanting to get into bo***ir who have access to their own studio and want to step away from headshots, weddings and the usual sessions for a little Halloween fun throughout the month of October.

The goal is to create paid themed events for clients not TFP/model portfolio shoots.
I’d love to put together complete packages that include the photoshoot, a set number of edited images, makeup and optional hair so clients can book the entire experience in one place.

With a little help from AI, I created these concept boards/vision images to show the direction I’m imagining for each shoot. They’re not meant to be copied exactly just a visual starting point for the mood, styling, makeup and overall energy I’d love to create.

I already have the concepts planned and the materials for special fx, now I just need the right photographers who want to collaborate on the creative side and help turn these ideas into actual October client events.

If horror, creative lighting, bo***ir, editorial or simply creating something completely outside the box sounds like your kind of project, message me. 🩸📸

And if you know a Tampa Bay photographer who would absolutely kill this, tag them below. 🖤

✨ Back-to-School Special! ✨

As a makeup artist and licensed esthetician, one of my favorite things to teach is that makeup isn't about covering who you are,it's about learning techniques that help you feel confident.

If you have a teen who's becoming interested in makeup, a one-on-one lesson is a great way to learn the basics in a supportive, age-appropriate environment instead of trying to figure it all out through social media.

During our 2-hour personalized lesson, we'll cover:
• Healthy skincare basics
• Natural, everyday makeup
• Choosing the right products and shades
• Brush techniques and proper application
• Looks for school, dances, interviews, and special occasions
• Hands-on practice so they can confidently recreate the look on their own

My goal is simple: to help teens feel confident creating a look that still feels like them.

✨ Private 2-Hour Lesson: $200
✨ Group lessons and makeup parties are also available. Group pricing is available upon consultation.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help! Feel free to send me a message.

And if you know a teen who might benefit from a lesson like this, I'd be so grateful if you shared this post with your friends and family. Word of mouth means everything to small businesses like mine. Thank you so much for your support! 💜
