With all the new people following recently, figured it might be time for a reintroduction!
I’m Leah, the face behind the page 👋🏼
I’m a 31 year old makeup artist, mama to a 10 year old boy, & also a 2025 bride! 👰🏻♀️
I’m half Ukrainian, half Russian.
I’ve lived in Idaho for almost 23 years, and don’t see myself ever leaving ⛰️🌲
I was not allowed to wear makeup growing up (or nail polish, or have my ears pierced, or dye my hair, etc.) but was always drawn to all things artsy & glam. Fun fact: I used to pick Jezebel as my favorite children’s Bible character, because they drew her with makeup and earrings and style 🤣 (not my fault they made her a baddie 💁🏻♀️)
I have 2 pets: a cat & a bearded dragon. But I dream of having allll the animals 🐰🐣🐶🐴
I love a good reality tv show; 90 Day Fiancé, Married at First Sight, & Love is Blind are some top contenders.
I love love, & hearing stories from all walks of life. Feel free to skip the small talk and get right to nitty gritty with me 😌
Ok that’s all for now! 🫶🏼
“I never wear makeup, & I’d really like to still look like myself”
“I got my makeup done before and it was so heavy and cakey”
“I’m going for a pretty natural look, with a little pop on the eyes”

Sound like something you’ve thought/said as your wedding day (or photo shoot, or special occasion) approaches?
No worries! Natural glam is right up my alley! 🙋🏻♀️ I’m all about the “maybe she’s born with it” looks, with a little side of shimmer ✨ Surprising people with how natural yet flawless they can look is my favorite!

Although rest assured, if full glam is your thing, we can still pump up aaaaalll the drama 😉
Glammin’ on a budget? Here are some great makeup products that don’t break the bank:
* Morphe eyeshadows (pigmented + blendable!) also recommend colourpop 💗
* SheGlam jelly eyeshadow sticks, shades rockstar and frostbite - These glide on so easily & once they dry down they do not budge!
* NYX microbrow pencil - Always my go-to 👌🏼
* Elf whoa glow spf 30 - I use this under my makeup every single day.
* Elf Halo Glow skin tint - Also a daily staple, the skin-like finish is chefs kiss 🤌🏼
* Sacheu liquid contour - first time trying this one, but I already like their liquid blushes so it’s no surprise these were also winners! (Honorable mentions to colourpop cream contour, which I always keep on deck).
* Elf sheer for it blush - dupe for the benetint cheek stains.
* Colourpop pretty fresh concealer - I haven’t found many drugstore concealers I like, but this one has a nice & natural kiss of coverage!
* L’Oréal Blur-fection loose setting powder - best translucent powder in the drugstore! 👏🏼
* NYX butter melt bronzer & buttermelt highlighter - these are soooo smooth & creamy, obsessed!
* Freckle Tint - I got this off of SHEIN, & it is surprisingly bomb. Blends out to such natural freckles, not the overdone super obvious dots some freckle pens leave you with.
* Colourpop Oh Snap lipliner - this is THE color. Just get it. Immediately.
* L’Oréal Infallible setting spray - like hairspray for the face!
* Elf glow reviver plumping lip oil - I got the shade Piggy Bank and it’s so pretty in the light ✨
