🎥 Current makeup trend I just can’t get behind…

Can we talk about the bronzer trend? 😅

I know it’s everywhere right now, but I’m not a fan of dotting bronzer all over your face or pumping the product directly onto your skin.

Here’s why…

✨ It uses way more product than you need.
✨ It can be harder to blend evenly.
✨ It increases the chance of patchiness, especially on textured or mature skin.

Instead, I like to apply the product to my brush first and build the color gradually. You have so much more control, the finish looks softer, and if you need more, you can always add it.

Remember, just because it’s trending doesn’t mean it’s the best technique for every face.

This is one trend I’m happily skipping! 😅

Do you apply your bronzer directly to your face, or are you a brush-first kind of person? Let me know in the comments! 👇

✨ What’s my favorite thing about being a makeup artist?

YOU. 🤍

It’s not the makeup.

It’s not the products.

It’s not even the beautiful before-and-afters.

It’s the moment you look in the mirror and your entire face lights up. It’s hearing you say, “I actually feel beautiful.” It’s watching your confidence come alive before you walk down the aisle, step in front of the camera, or head out for a special event.

The relationships I’ve built over the years mean more to me than any makeup trend ever could.

Thank you for trusting me with your biggest moments. Being a small part of your story is something I’ll never take for granted.

That’s my favorite part of this job… you. 🤍

There’s nothing I love more than enhancing what’s already there. ✨

This beautiful before-and-after is proof that makeup doesn’t have to look heavy to make a big impact. My goal is always to create a look that feels fresh, radiant, and completely you—so you still recognize yourself, just with a little extra confidence.

Ready for your own glow-up? I’d love to help bring your vision to life.

✨ Products I recommend for more mature skin…

As our skin changes, our makeup should change with it. My biggest piece of advice? Choose products that act like skincare first and makeup second.

Here’s what I’m reaching for:

💧 Hydrating primers that prep and nourish the skin.
✨ Lightweight, radiant foundations instead of heavy, full-coverage formulas.
🤍 Cream blushes and cream bronzers for a natural, healthy glow.
🌿 Creamy concealers that hydrate instead of settling into fine lines.
💦 Setting sprays that melt everything together for a skin-like finish.
✨ Liquid or cream highlighters for a soft, luminous glow—not chunky glitter.

The goal isn’t to cover your skin—it’s to let beautiful, healthy skin shine through.

When your makeup is creamy, hydrating, and skincare-focused, you’ll often use less product and get a fresher, more youthful finish.

✨ You asked, I answered!

Where should you be placing your blush?

The short answer: UP! 👏

Applying your blush higher on your cheekbones helps create a lifted, youthful look by drawing the eye upward. Instead of placing blush low on the apples of your cheeks, blend it slightly above them and sweep it toward your temples for a naturally sculpted, fresh-faced glow.

The best part? This simple makeup trick works on almost every face shape and instantly makes your makeup look more modern and flattering.
