As a pro makeup artist, I thought I knew everything about beauty. Then I became a mother.

In my corporate world, I make impactful decisions and navigate high-stakes challenges. In the beauty world, I’m my clients’ biggest advocate, helping them step into moments they only get one shot at: a wedding, a red carpet, a live TV show. I thought that was where beauty lived, in the moment someone finally sees themselves the way they hoped they would.

Then motherhood showed me every hat I wear had simply been preparing me for this one. And this beauty isn’t tied to how I look, or the makeup on my face. It’s how I feel when I show up. It’s the beauty in moments only I can fully understand, everything I overcame just to be present. The beauty of becoming, over and over. The beauty of growing beside my son as he grows. The beauty of choice. Resilience, my new beauty routine.

@momsinmakeup was created to discover more of that. Beautiful moments can be manufactured with cosmetics (& there’s nothing wrong with it!), but real beauty only shows up when we decide it does. by @momsinmakeup

Let me reintroduce myself……Brooke Lee Smith here.👋🏼
Some of you know me from the anchor desk getting faces camera-ready at Fox News, CNN, ABC, MSNBC, Bloomberg and beyond. And some of you know me from film sets, or from the classroom, where I’ve spent almost 20 years teaching artists to find their voice.

I’m mom to four boys (with one more on the way 🩵), a union makeup artist @iatselocal798 , and someone who’s spent two decades learning that beauty and motherhood aren’t two separate lives, 
they’re the same one.

Something new is coming, and I want you along for the ride! Moms in Makeup @momsinmakeup , a space I’m co-building along with my fabulous friend Shiedha Burbage @shiedhaburbage, for artists who are also mamas, and mamas who are also artists, and EVERYONE in between. 

The real stories. The wins, the struggles, the stuff nobody posts about.

More soon. Glad you’re here.  Xoxo 🤍

PS. who takes a new headshot 8.5 months pregnant ?! 🤪🫣🤭❤️

Coming real soon. 
Give us a mommy minute. 🤞🏼

Meet @brookeleesmith

Brooke is the mama of 4 boys with one more on the way 🩵 a union makeup artist, master cosmetologist, and the kind of woman who has never once slowed down long enough to be put in a box.

Netflix. HULU. Disney. That’s her Tuesday. But ask her what drives her and she’ll tell you it’s the artists the ones coming up, the ones burning out, the ones who just need someone to believe in them first.
Two decades deep. Hollywood credits. Broadcast networks. Runway stages. Team Pat McGrath. And through all of it a mama, first and always.
She’s one of our moms in makeup. And she knows firsthand that beauty and motherhood don’t just belong in the same conversation they belong in the same breath.

This space is for the real ones. The mamas who are also artists. The artists who are also mamas. The women who are tired of choosing between who they are and what they love. We see you. We are you. Stick around there’s so much coming.
Follow us along this journey and stay tuned.
