Today marks 19 years of being a certified makeup artist, and my heart is so full. Beauty to special effects, classrooms to film sets, photoshoots to one-on-one clients, this journey has been wild. 💋

Santa Ana has my heart for many reasons. But here’s the first. 13 years ago we met in Cosmetology School down on 4th & Main, and we fell in love talking shit. My favorite chismosa. Makeup & hair for my beautiful friend, @bxvatelier. P.S. book a facial with her. Immediately. 🖤
