10 Things You Can Do to BEST PREP for your Makeup Appointment ✨🙌🏼✨ this edited list is my opinion of what really matters when my clients are showing up for their glam. Some things are often forgotten and NEED TO BE SAID, others are just a friendly reminder or a suggestion 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

As your Makeup Artist, I always want you to look and feel your best - but great makeup starts with the way that you care for yourself before you even get in my chair 💞❤️🩷

Makeup Artists: what are some things that you would add to your list?
Here’s my big 10:
1. GET THE TOX
2. STOP ACTIVE SKINCARE 2 weeks before
3. GROOM THE BROWS
4. REMOVE ANY UNWANTED FACIAL HAIR
5. WEAR SPF
6. KEEP LIPS MOISTURIZED
7. EXFOLIATE + MOISTURIZE
8. TRIM YOUR NOSE HAIR (the one thing that made me write this post)
9. CLEAN YOUR EARS
10. PACK TOUCHUP ESSENTIALS (no, your lip won’t last 10 hours)

Some of these things take a little effort - some are quick and easy no brainers! I BELIEVE IN YOU! 🙌🏼

Doing a little BLUSH inventory + sorting through some favorites in the current kit rotation ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

I love when other artists + clients put me onto their favorite blush shades and formulas - the blush you wear can say so much about how you wish to present to the world - a reflection of personality, personal style, and the beauty look you are trying to achieve!

As an artist, it’s so important to me that I keep a diverse selection in my toolbox 🧰 because my favorite shade of the moment isn’t going to be the best blush choice for every face! See any of your faves here?! Or have any blush obsessions in your inventory? Let me know 🙏🙏 While I’d like to think that I don’t need to shop for a new blush any time soon, let’s be real…….

I love seeing these (mostly) powder formulas broken down into smaller groupings - I feel like you can appreciate their individual tones in a new way. 🧡❤️🩷💜
