Bernard | Charlotte NC Makeup Artist

She didn’t just wear the garden. She became it. 🦋 Editorial Shoot W/ the absolute BEST team! 📸: @iamfernvndo 👩🏽: @ashley_danay 💄: @bernardartistry #charlottenc #makeupeditorial #charlottencphotographer #cltmodels

My love for makeup started with a book. I believe it’s essential for artists and anyone who loves the craft to broaden their understanding through physical media and learn from the greats. These are my reading recommendations and the references that continue to shape how I work. Have you read any of these? 👀 #makeupartistry #makeupeducation #artistfoundation #beautyliterature #makeupbook

Brand shoot day for @lknwithtay 👀✨ Nothing beats bringing a client’s vision to life with an amazing creative team. Big shoutout to the talented creatives who made it happen: @madalynyatescreative @carolinadestinations Haven’t experienced Bernard Artistry yet? 🤍 What are you waiting for? . .

I’M STILL HERE… YES! 🗣️ My makeup on the LEGEND, THEE rose of gospel herself, @dorindaclarkcole 🌹 I am so honored and completely at a loss for words. Grateful is an understatement—thank you for trusting me with your glam. GET INTO THIS SKIN Y’ALL! ✨ KEY PRODUCTS FOR THIS GLAM: Base: @maccosmetics Studio Fix Foundation + Studio Radiance Concealer Eyes: @maccosmetics Unfiltered Nudes Palette, @patmcgrathreal Liquid Eyeshadow in Divine Champagne, @lillylashes Miami (customized + stacked) Lips: @maccosmetics Chestnut Liner + Russian Red topped with Clear Lipglass

So… what is soft glam? Can anyone wear it? (EXPLAINED BELOW) ⬇️ Soft glam is the quiet luxury of makeup — seamless skin, feathered lashes, and tones that melt effortlessly into one another. No harsh lines. No heavy textures. Just depth, light, and dimension in all the right places. Perfect in photos, even better in person. 📸 And yes, any age can wear this look. Soft glam is about enhancing what’s already there, celebrating your unique features, and letting your natural beauty take center stage. Would you wear this style of makeup?

Another one for the BOOKS ✨ This Studio54 event at @themintmuseum was a full-circle moment. I remember walking these halls as a tween, wide-eyed at the beauty and brilliance they held, and returning as an adult to be moved all over again. That night, I didn’t just witness the art, I felt like I became part of it. Being invited to join such a dynamic, talented team was an honor I’ll never forget. Thank you @___menia & @meniapaige for trusting me to be part of this vision. The love from so many familiar faces — and the warmth of new ones left me overwhelmed in the best way. Thank you, Charlotte, for welcoming my artistry with such open arms. My work will always be rooted in community, in creating moments that make every person feel seen, loved, and confident. Forever grateful 🤍🥂 THE TEAM: Designer/Creative Director @_menia Stylist @bellabelrose MUA @bernardartistry Team Assistant @itgirl_tiff Interns@zanifasho @kieferbss Models @allison_povinelli @niaathemodel_ !!re_email!!_melissaa.iris @kleOcarter Photos [email protected]

Skin first, always! This shoot was all about letting her natural features lead soft dimension, feathered brows, and a finish that feels like it’s been lived in. As a makeup artist it’s so important to present and listen to what the client is saying, and when two perspectives meet. THAT’S when the magic 🪄 happens! #makeupoftheday #dressyourface #naturalglam #charlottemua #ncmakeupartist #makeuplife

What if I told you runway makeup has nothing to do with trends? It’s about speed, precision, and creating a full story in minutes. In The Breakdown Behind the Makeup, I’m revealing the real secrets behind backstage success: how to own chaos, master camera-ready skin, and make every look count. This isn’t just glam…it’s strategy.

LONG POST ‼️‼️ Behind every flawless face is a moment like this focused, grounded, and full of purpose. As a makeup artist, my job isn’t just about brushes and beauty, it’s about transformation, storytelling, and making people feel like the most powerful version of themselves. This moment right here? It’s where the artistry begins. Before the first stroke of foundation, before the highlight hits just right, there’s intention, energy, and love poured into every step. Because real artistry doesn’t start at the mirror. It starts with mindset. No matter where you are in your journey, trust your growth, trust your hands, and keep showing up.
