Beauty that
inspires
us
With over 10 years in the beauty industry, I’ve seen (and tested) just about everything when it comes to hair, makeup, and the products we love to love, or hate.
I’m here to share the real gems: the tips, tricks, and product recommendations that actually work, and are worth your money. With new launches dropping daily, it can be overwhelming to know what’s hype and what’s helpful. Let me do the digging for you and bring you the best of beauty, straight from a pro.
Product Knowledge
REAL OPINIONS BASED ON REAL EXPERIENCE
I’ve been a professional hair and makeup artist for over a decade, working across every corner of the beauty industry, from weddings and personal events to TV, film, editorial campaigns, and published features.
​
What sets my perspective apart is experience. I don’t just test products on myself, I work with a diverse range of skin tones, textures, and hair types every single day. While I may have what people call “good skin,” my real understanding of beauty products comes from how they perform across real people with real-life skin and hair.... not just model-perfect conditions.
​
I’m passionate about learning the science behind the products I use. I take the time to understand how they’re made, how they work, and how to translate that into helpful, honest recommendations. Whether I’m applying makeup, reviewing a formula, or curating my favorites, it’s always about helping others feel confident in their own routines with no filters required.

Merit’s Great Skin Serum gives me instant glow without feeling greasy. Not to mention, it layers beautifully under everything.

Refy’s Skin Finish and moisturizer give a soft matte look that still feels hydrated and is perfect for under glam or everyday no-makeup skin.

Caudalie’s Beauty Elixir is my reset button. I use it to prep, refresh, and even set. It’s one of my ride-or-dies.

Everything pictured lives in my actual bathroom. No gatekeeping here.

"As an MUA I feel it’s imperative to consistently showcase and work with any and everyone. Skin tone should never be a reason someone can’t connect with the beauty world. While I’m one person, in one city, it’s up to us to showcase that beauty comes in all forms.”
