5,000 makeup artists.

I don’t know exactly what getting to 5,000 looks like yet. But I know what I want it to mean.

For more than 20 years, I’ve made a living doing this. I’ve worked with thousands of brides, built a team, worked commercial sets, worked with major brands, made plenty of mistakes, figured out how to make this career actually work—and then built Business of Makeup® to share what I learned with other artists.

And I’m not done.

I want to take everything I’ve learned and make it accessible to more artists who are serious about building a real career in this industry.

That’s what BOM® is about.

And honestly, that’s why I made the ARTIST shirt, too.

Because I think there’s something powerful about being proud to call yourself an artist—and building a career that makes that identity sustainable.

So 5,000 is the number.

5,000 artists who are better at their craft.
5,000 artists who understand the business.
5,000 artists who make good money doing work they’re proud of.
5,000 artists who are still here 10, 20 years from now.

That feels like a goal worth working toward.

If you’re one of them, tell me what you’re building. ✅👂⬇️

February, you were a mix of glam and germs. 💫

I turned 42 with a house full of the flu 😅 but also with so much gratitude. I got to work with the most gorgeous brides (forever my why), bring my CA energy to my TX clients, collaborate with an Austin influencer and a photographer I’ve been wanting to create with, and see my work featured on the Fashionphile homepage (still surreal).

And the biggest honor? Being nominated for THREE Best of San Diego awards — Beauty Services, Makeup Artist, and Wedding Makeup Artist. After winning in ‘24 & ‘25, going for that three-peat would mean everything. 🥹

Plus, glamming my daughter for her first real dance? Core memory forever.

42 feels aligned. Brides. Brands. Big momentum. ✨
