🎉 I’m Teaching at the Celebrity Makeup Artist Symposium this weekend! 💃🏽

Full circle moment alert!

In 2013, I assisted the legendary @merrellhollis at the Celebrity Makeup Artist Symposium. Now, in 2025, I’ll be TEACHING at the 20th Anniversary of this iconic event!

I’m so honored to share the stage with some of the industry’s greatest— @derrick4mkup , @theekymlee , and more. This event has shaped the beauty world for 20 years and I can’t wait to pour into the next generation of artists.

Join me April 26–28 at @bennettcareerinstitute for workshops, demos, and community. I’ll be teaching my signature skin technique and guiding you through your hands on experience.

For more details and registration info visit: www.bennettcareerinstitute.org

Hope to see you there! ✨

For Black History Month, I am featuring an up and coming Black Female business. Am introducing Zaire S Makup @zairesmakeup, a DC/MD professional make up artist. She specializes in full glam. Zaire was gentle, creative and transformed me into a double Diva. #makeupartist #zairesmakeup #shafiamonroeconsulting #naturalbeauty #makeup #blackhistorymonth #professionalmakeupartist #beautyenhancer #midwives #doula #blackmidwifecooking #smcdoulaconference2025 #eyelashes

Without further ado: my 2024 recap!

Of course, I had low points happen in 2024—that’s what happens in a year—but my highs totally outweigh any of that for me.

Here’s some 2024 highlights that I didn’t mention in the video:
⭐️ I did my first prom client.
⭐️ I worked on my first fashion shoot with @nice.cr3 for @spacekittyarts.
⭐️ I worked on my first ad campaign as a makeup artist.
⭐️ I changed the direction of my content.
⭐️ I judged a debate tournament.
⭐️ I attended Liner + Lashes with Lauren masterclass, hosted by @raggedyroyal.
⭐️ I finally got my headshots taken by @kiyashaco.
⭐️ I got to see @amaarae with my best friend Zaria.
⭐️ I got to see @ravynlenae with my good homie @exoplanetist.

Now that I’ve talked all about my 2024 with y’all, go follow all the creatives mentioned or seen in this video:

What did you celebrate and achieve in 2024? It’s okay if that achievement was simply survival, staying afloat, managing to keep yourself here. It doesn’t have to be anything major to anyone else for it to be an achievement. It just has to be major to you.
