Have I shared the "why" behind my business with you recently? The REAL reason why I'm SO passionate about showing up to give you your best makeup ever?
Let me reintroduce myself and give a bit of background! I'll make this rapid-fire for you 👇
⭐️ My name is Michelle Trent, and I am a makeup artist based in Baltimore, Maryland.
⭐️ I've been doing makeup for over 10 years.
⭐️ My favorite thing about doing what I do is easily intensifying the beauty that my clients already have.
⭐️ The reason why I do this is because I want my clients to have a full metamorphosis experience even though I only applied a little makeup to enhance their beauty. I call that experience the Butterfly Effect. 🦋🦋🦋
I'll be honest, even on the hard days (and trust me, there are plenty of those!), I couldn't imagine doing anything else!
If you've been eyeing my page for a while or just discovered me, I promise that your makeup is safe with me! 🔑 Don't hesitate to DM me with any questions about my services, and I can't wait to meet you in my chair soon! 🥰

🎊We had such a great time last night celebrating my girl's birthday. @avenuekitchenbar is such a vibe! Great atmosphere, great food & wine and I got to enjoy it with great company. And I cannot miss mentioning how @dat.feel.good & his band members did their thang!!! I'm definitely going back. Happy Birthday @afisha_arise !!!! 🎊🥳🎉🎂
✨ I recently completed an amazing makeup beat camp and I’m feeling more inspired than ever! 💄
I learned new techniques, product tips, blending skills, and how to create flawless looks with confidence. Whether it’s soft glam, bold beauty, or everyday makeup, this experience took my skills to the next level.
A huge thank you to my instructor @makeupbyjess and everyone in the class for such a fun and empowering experience! 💕
I'm ready to keep creating, learning, and glowing. ✨

I never imagined I’d be here—standing in my truth, using my voice, and connecting with others who understand the journey of surviving domestic violence. 💜
I’m honored to be part of something powerful: a Domestic Violence Symposium created for us, by us. This is more than an event—it’s a space for healing, learning, empowerment, and community.
Whether you’re a survivor, supporting someone who is, or want to better understand the impact of domestic violence, you are welcome. Your story matters. Your voice matters. You matter.
Let’s come together to break the silence, share our strength, and uplift one another.
🗓️ Sunday, May 31, 2026 2pm to 6pm
📍 Baltimore County, Maryland Location details to be announced.

Early call times, bright lights, and a kit full of magic 💄✨
From skin prep in the quiet hours of the morning to last-minute touch-ups between takes, being on set in NYC is all about precision, creativity, and keeping every look camera-ready. Different lighting, long hours (including the drive to & from Brooklyn), quick changes—but that’s where the artistry really shines.
There’s nothing like watching a look come to life through the lens 🎬
Final brand content coming soon... 👀

Still glowing after an unforgettable Bridal Expo afternoon ✨
It was such a pleasure connecting with so many beautiful brides and sharing my approach to luxury, natural glam—enhancing your features, elevating your confidence, and creating a timeless look that feels like you, just refined. 💍
Thank you to everyone who visited my booth and trusted me with your bridal vision. Every conversation, every face, every moment was truly special. And congratulations to Lindsay, the beautiful bride who won the makeup demo raffle!
If we met, I would love to continue planning your perfect bridal look. And if you couldn’t make it, my books are open and I’d be honored to be part of your day. 🤍
And a special thank you to my favorite (and only) daughter for helping me out with everything. She's the absolute best & such a blessing! ❤️

As a business owner it's so important to invest in yourself & your craft. It was such an honor to learn from the queen of 🎨Color Theory herself, @territomlinsonmakeup . The class was phenomenal and worth the investment. I had been hearing about her for years & met her in person at the Makeup Show in Houston back in September. I asked her to please come do a class in DC. So glad she was able to! 🤗

✨️After 15 years in the industry- from editorial sets to high-definition TV- I've seen every trend come and go. But these 3 rules? They are non-negotiable. 🙅🏾♀️
💄We're moving away from the 'heavy' look and embracing professional, soft-glam techniques that actually work in real life (and 4k). Which one of these surprised you most? Let's chat in the comments! 👇🏾
