I wasn’t even a HMUA yet when we made this video, I was running on pure audacity and a love for 80s music and fashion😅

Take 2, action!
Having grown up performing on stage and on set, makeup has always been an interest of mine. I could talk for hours about color theory, the science behind how/why products work and the histories of various beauty brands and trends. In 2023 I became a licensed cosmetologist and have since been trained in beauty, editorial and SFX. I have done makeup and hair for five music videos and in the film @whattomorrowbringsmovie.
Being a part of the Sephora Squad would be incredible. The opportunity to make new connections and further my education with brands and artists I’ve admired for over a decade would make me feel like a kid in a candy store.
If you think I’d be a good fit for this partnership, I have the link in my bio as well as in the bio of my hair and makeup page, @faithtrustandpixiecuts! At the time of creating this post I’m at 15 testimonials and I’m so grateful to those of you who have taken the time to submit one.
Thanks everyone!! Crossing fingers and toes for 2027🩷🤞

“Sweet Victory.” S.N.O.T. Chamber Orchestra, 2019.
I wasn’t a professional at this time, I was just the friend who liked to do makeup.🥲

My first attempt at cosplay was bananas fun. Colossalcon was bananas fun. The people are bananas fun. I got my potassium intake for sure.

when @mermaid.beemo gets a fancy nostalgia camera, even your most unhinged convention moments look like artsy album covers. 🥲
this was genuinely the most fun I’ve had at a convention in my entire life. I know I don’t really cosplay nearly as often as I used to, but it’s weekends like this that remind me how much I love it. it’s good for the soul to run around and be unhinged in full costume with the nerdiest people you know. so thank you to everyone who made this convention special.🫶
PS: I lost every crane game I tried to play.
PPS: I attempted to vlog so keep your eyes peeled.

2023, you were as challenging as you were beautiful. there were so many highs and lows that I never could have anticipated, but one thing remained constant: no matter what I did and no matter where I went, there was always someone there to cheer me on. I had so much support from family, old friends and new friends alike, and I’ll never be able to express how much even the smallest acts of kindness meant to me. how much they STILL mean to me. ❤️
wishing everyone a new year full of love, comfort and healing. so excited for 2024!

also Instagram wouldn’t let me tag everyone in the video, so tagging all my buddies from Legends here!! @tiff_tiffmakeup @ariel.lafontaine.mua.wardrobe @lulubeabeauty @bosscatmua @rocknrollrabbit 🩵
