Can we talk about eye brushes for a second?

One of the biggest misconceptions is that you need a massive collection of brushes to do beautiful makeup.

You don’t

I’ve worked in television, bridal, corporate beauty, and photoshoots for years, and I find myself reaching for the same eye brushes over and over again:

✨ Small Shader Brush
✨ Large Shader Brush
✨ Blending Brush
✨ Small Blending Brush
✨ Angle Brush
✨ Pencil Brush

What most people need isn’t more brushes.

What they need is a better understanding of the brushes they already own.

I see so many women spending money on products they were told they needed when what would actually make the biggest difference is learning technique.

That’s why I’m always teaching my clients to buy with intention.

More isn’t always better.

Better is better.

When you understand what each brush is designed to do, your makeup gets easier, faster, and more polished—and you stop wasting money on things that sit untouched in a drawer.

I’ve curated the exact eye brushes I recommend most often to clients and students inside my ShopMy collection if you’re looking to build a smarter beauty kit.

Now tell me:

What’s the makeup brush in your collection that you’re still not quite sure how to use?

Here are some summer foundation tips for the girls who are tired of leaving the house looking like Beyoncé and melting into humid potato salad by 2 PM. 😂☀️

Some of y’all’s primer and foundation are in a toxic relationship. 🥴

Summer makeup is NOT about adding more makeup. 🙅🏾‍♀️

A few things that will save your face this summer:

✨ Stop powdering your whole face like you’re seasoning catfish.

✨ Heavy concealer in humidity? Absolutely not.

✨ Your under-eyes do not need six layers.

✨ Set the CENTER of the face. The perimeter needs freedom.

✨ If your foundation shade changes in the summer, congratulations… you’ve been outside. 💃🏾

Let’s normalize skin still looking like skin. 🙏🏾

The goal:

✨ Soft
✨ Fresh
✨ Polished
✨ Expensive
✨ Slightly unbothered

This is exactly what we’ll be covering in our Summer Makeup Class.

You’ll learn how to create breathable, satin-finish skin that survives heat and humidity, strategic bronzer and blush placement that lifts and warms the face, simplified eye techniques for a polished everyday look, and professional longevity methods that keep your makeup looking fresh from morning meetings to evening events.

Plus you’ll receive:
✔️ Guided hands-on instruction
✔️ Live professional demonstration
✔️ The Beauty Kit Edit™ digital guide
✔️ Curated product recommendations
✔️ 7 days of follow-up support

The goal isn’t more makeup.

The goal is a refined, repeatable 15-minute routine that helps you look polished, confident, and camera-ready all summer long.

Watching the conversation around Patrick Ta and Painted by Esther has me thinking less about blush… and more about intellectual property in the creator era.

Because here’s the uncomfortable truth:
a lot of beauty techniques, aesthetics, phrases, and creative concepts live in a gray area where they’re culturally influential… but not legally protected.

You may not be able to trademark every method, placement technique, or “look.” But ownership today is also about:

* documented history
* consistency
* visibility
* education
* community association
* timestamps
* brand identity

The internet remembers who introduced people to something — especially when the creator has a distinct point of view attached to it.

That’s why modern creators can’t just create anymore.
You have to archive your work. Teach it. Name it. Build language around it. Create ecosystems around it. Repeat it enough that the audience associates it with you before larger machines commercialize it.

In many ways, cultural ownership now moves faster than legal ownership.

And honestly? This conversation is becoming a masterclass for creators in real time:
If you don’t define your work clearly, the market eventually will. 💄✨

For the woman who is tired of guessing.
For the woman who looks tired even when she's not.
For the woman who keeps buying products that don't work for her face.
For the woman who wants to look polished — not painted.

I'm hosting four intimate Flawless in Fifteen™ classes this summer at Three Collective in Falls Church, VA.

📅 Saturday, June 27 — 10 AM and 2 PM
📅 Sunday, July 26 — 10 AM and 2 PM

In 90 minutes, hands-on, in a group of just four, you'll learn the exact six-step method I've taught for 17+ years — the same method that gets professional women camera-ready, podium-ready, and Monday-morning-ready in fifteen minutes flat.

You leave with:
✓ A routine that fits your face, not someone else's
✓ The Flawless in Fifteen™ Makeup Guide (yours to keep)
✓ Seven days of follow-up support
✓ Confidence you can recreate at 6 AM on a Tuesday

Four seats per class. Sixteen seats total this summer.

Investment: $250 per person

This is where you grab a friend, a sister, your daughter, your team — and book together.

43% of women 35+ say their skincare routine is more complicated now than 10-20 years ago.
And yet… we have LESS time than ever.

The math isn’t mathing.

New blog post is up breaking down why elder millennials and Gen X are going minimal—plus my exact streamlined skincare routine. Link below 👇

Skin Minimalism: Why Gen X & Elder Millennials Are Simplifying Perimenopause. Teenagers. Aging parents. Career burnout. We don't have time for 10-step skincare routines. Here's why busy women over 40 are going minimal—and the exact routine that actually works.

Finding Your Perfect Foundation Match: A Pro Guide for Caramel to Deep Tan Skin with Neutral Undertones If you're caramel to deep tan with a neutral undertone, you already know the struggle. Shade matching can feel like a guessing game—formulas turn too warm, too golden, too red, too matte, or they oxidize before noon. You've probably got a drawer full of "almost right" foundations that looked perfe...

FINAL CALL TO BOOK — FLAWLESS IN FIFTEEN™ (1:1 EXPERIENCE)
The Final 2025 Edit — Reopening Spring 2026

This is your last chance of the year to book my private Flawless in Fifteen™ session — the 1:1 experience that teaches you how to look polished, confident, and intentional in fifteen minutes or less.

If you’ve been meaning to upgrade your everyday makeup, simplify your routine, or learn what truly works for your face… this is your moment.

After these final openings fill, Flawless in Fifteen™ will not reopen until Spring 2026.

Why Now Is the Perfect Time

As we head into the holidays, visibility increases — photos, events, office parties, family gatherings.
You want to look good without spending an hour in the mirror.

Winter also changes how your makeup behaves.
If you’ve noticed dryness, dullness, or makeup not lasting, this 1:1 experience solves that with seasonal prep + curated product recommendations tailored to you.

And truly — there’s something powerful about entering a new year already looking polished, intentional, and confident… instead of trying to “fix it” in January.

What You’ll Receive (Private 1:1 Experience)

• A personalized makeup routine you can do in 15 minutes
• Step-by-step technique refinement tailored to your features
• Winter skin prep + product layering for longevity
• Foundation & concealer matching for your exact undertone
• Custom product recommendations based on your skin type + lifestyle
• Access to the downloadable Flawless in Fifteen™ Guide for at-home practice
• A routine you can trust in real life — for work, weekends, photos, everything

This is not a group class.
It’s hands-on education designed just for you

Now, let’s talk about what may be holding you back...

“I don’t wear a lot of makeup”
Perfect — this is for the polished, natural version of you

“I don’t have time”
The routine is 15 minutes. This actually gives you time back.

“I already know makeup.”
Let’s make it quicker, easier, and overwhelm-proof.

“I’ll wait for 2026.”
Next availability isn’t until Spring — and spaces will be limited.
