@amaka.umeozo sat in my chair, and oh my! Skin intact, Hallelujah. My number one mission is always accentuation. So here, her brows were fluffed using nano strokes only -with @shopdidibeautyco Browgasm pencil. Cheeks flushed to perfection with @charlottetilbury Unreal blush glow stick. Complexion is a match made in heaven with @danessa_myricks VCC & @blackopalbeauty . Dewy finish using @omaricode Skin mist, and lastly, her lips are @sephoracanada Sephora collection liner + @lancomeofficial Juicy tubes in Neon pink! #thatlaurasfinish #naturalmakeupartistintoronto #softglam #makeupartistinvaughan

Bridal beauty at its peak!!! My friend, Wonu became Mrs. Abraham. She looked beyond stunning, but that’s not the gist I have for you guys. Her middle name is Sarah, and her husband’s name is Abraham. I spent the day begging them to name their first child Isaac, just for the plot. Was I out of line?🤭😭 Happy married life, @wonu_abr 💕 Dress- @toreracouture #thatlaurasfinish #onlylaurakan #naturalmakeupartistintoronto #bridalmakeup #softglam

Look #2of3 was a sick beat. I know you think you know what I mean, haha. But I mean I did this while I was ill. It was also supposedly the coldest day in Toronto, the winter storm was the worst I’d seen. Buuutttt somehow, @wonu_abr wore the most beautiful look for her pre wedding shoot. #kaywon #naturalmakeupartistintoronto #softglam #civilweddingmakeup

The cleanest, barely-there makeup look for @wonu_ola ‘s proposal dinner. I’ve been accused of a lot of things, and one of them is “Being a lot” (in a good way, haha). I want to be present for the people I love- ALWAYS. Present in every moment, till the last. So this looks like planning their makeup looks, for every milestone, and wearing whatever hat’s necessary. From their proposals, to pre-wedding looks, to the civil weddings, and the wedding finales. I was made for this- enhancing beauty, and making you feel incredibly beautiful while at it. #thatlaurasfinish #naturalmakeupartistintoronto #proposaldinner #kaywon

Sooooo, I experienced the miracle of five loaves feeding five thousand. All because phenomenal women said yes to giving back, and providing artists with the help they didn’t really have when they started out as MUAs. I wanted to encourage and support the makeup artists who are just starting their careers, and may feel discouraged by the challenges of breaking into the industry. Our profession is unlike the others, where you write exams and earn certifications to “climb a ladder”. Ours requires a lot of grit, creativity, community, and even luck- to stand out. Thank you, @lacici_ @wendu.beauty @lillianopaul @zainabazeez @beautybytejj @olawande_mua @madebeautyhq @flawlessfacesbyjane @adammakenneth @sooo_pro @thekatchyglam @thetoluamisueffect @b.e.a.u.t.i.f.i.e.d @glitz_n_foy @kaladata_ @nomey_jmakeovers @obianuju_d @beautybyisime @house_of_daffodil @asbb_uk @simiolabeauty @duprinah @iheomabeauty @lammiescencesignature @adalinebeauty @amplified_mua @looksbybettie @tolabanks @t.alamodebeauty @queenedup @xtremely_gorgeous @beautebytoby_ @theodoramicheal @beautybybold @merakibyonome @mosewabeauty_ - words are not enough. I wanted to reach 5 artists, but ended up reaching 50. THANK YOU!!❤️ @tm.essentials @tolabanksbeauty @mynaijapicks - Thank you for sending products over for the artists. I’m so grateful. Jesus my sender, is really my sponsor! #themakeupdream #tmud #muamentorship

*Applications are closed.* When I’m not helping out, I am doing the next best thing- offering to. This is because I know what it feels like to be helped- by God and great people. The young Pharmacy student who fell in love with makeup may not be here if her friends didn’t believe in her, cheer her on, then go ahead to use their pocket money to get her a ringlight. (Dubem, Chisom, Ella, Chiziterem, Temi, & Ogechi), I owe you all stock options once my company goes public. The dream may not have been too, if I didn’t have makeup brands to support me. Consistent love notes, and products from @shopdidibeautyco , @tm.essentials , @omaricode , @beautybyad @soooprocosmetics.shop , @nubanbeauty & @msmetics kept me going. This happened all the way in 2020, but the impact was life-shaping, and it’s one I’d never forget. You’re all brands that care, so, thank you, thank you, thank you!! I understand that not every artist is able to get on brands PR lists. The brands have targets, and need the numbers (which you may not have) to convert, and that’s okay because they’re a business after all. But, I’d love to pay the kindness I’ve been shown forward. So, if you’re a makeup artist in Nigeria, currently in that place where you’re unsure -to keep going or not, or you feel that a confidence boost, and kit upgrade will make a world of difference, tap the link in my bio to get started. In 2 weeks, my team & I will pick 5 of you to support with mentorships, kit upgrades, and make #themakeupdream worth it again for you.❤️

Great makeup is in the zoomable details! I kept Gbemi’s skin super clean, and used earth-toned eyeshadow shades to accentuate her eyes! #thatlaurasfinish Birthday glam on @oluwagbemisinuola_o Photography- @luckygrapherr

One thing to do in 2026? Add TANG class to cart. TANG’s short for The Art of Natural Glam. You’re in for a swell time and, in only a few hours, you’d become a Makeup Artist.🤭 I’m not kidding.
