Impossibly small with barely a chance, but my dreams never were — and they grew with me.
From growing up on set as a little actress to becoming an author, a filmmaker, and now building Moonveil Beauty — this moment means everything.

I’ve been in love with beauty since I was a 6‑year‑old actress sitting in makeup chairs, watching how a brush, a pigment, or a shimmer could shift an entire world.
That childhood dream of creating my own makeup line never left — it just evolved with me.

Moonveil Beauty is the grown‑up version of that magic: clean, intentional, skin‑first artistry shaped by ritual, storytelling, and a touch of lunar alchemy.
It’s where transformation meets truth, and where you get to glow in the way you were always meant to.

And if you’ve noticed the little cat in my logo — that’s Figaro.
My sweet boy who sat beside me for 19 years, watching me do my makeup every single day.
He’s still here with me, in every brushstroke and every shade.

To celebrate the launch, enjoy 15% off your first order of $100 CAD or more — a little lunar blessing from me to you.
Whether you’re building your ritual or discovering your new signature shade, this is your moment to glow.

And through all of it — my parents believing I could do anything I set my mind to, Figaro watching over every makeup moment, the stories I’ve written, and the indie films I’ve created through Shadowgate Media — their love is in this too.

Film has always been my world.
Not a hobby, not a phase - the thing I eat, sleep, and breathe.

Horror, suspense, psychological thrillers, documentaries… the darker corners of storytelling have always felt like home to me.

When I was six years old, I made my first ā€œmovie.ā€
A friend and I outlined a short film, turned a broken lawn chair into the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and I dressed him as the mad scientist who created it.

I blocked every scene, wrote every beat, and directed it like the fate of the universe depended on it.
That was the moment I knew: I wasn’t just watching films. I was born to make them.

That spark grew into scripts, into characters, into entire worlds — and eventually into Black: A Film, adapted from my own novel Black: A Novel.
A story that lived in my head for years before I finally brought it to life on screen.

Shadowgate Media is the evolution of that obsession.
A home for indie films built from raw imagination, strange magic, and the kind of stories that don’t wait for permission.

And through all of it — my parents believing I could do anything I set my mind to, Figaro watching over every creative moment, and every creature I’ve ever dreamed up — their love is in this too.
Shadowgate Media exists because they let me chase the shadows. šŸ”„ taken in Toronto, Canada by @msmichelleroy
