Why I don’t clean brushes between clients 👀
When I first started as a makeup artist, I made the mistake of cleaning my brushes between clients. Not only did this waste time, but it wasn’t the most sanitary option! That’s why I invested in multiple brush sets, so I can provide each client with their own set for the day, ensuring the highest level of hygiene & safety! When I’m doing your makeup you never have to worry about cleanliness—l’ve got you covered!
P.S. You’ll find me deep cleaning my brushes & giving them a full on spa experience while watching Bravo nightly 😜

Anxiety? Never heard of it… at least not when I’m doing your makeup! Pure joy, happy tears, and obsessed reactions only!

Liquid Blush... SAVE THIS FOR LATER bc I promise it’s easier than you think! Here I’m using @rarebeauty #makeupartistny #privatemakeuplesson softpinchliquidblush and pressing it in (instead of brushing it on) with the @profusion round tapered powder brush. Use the tiniest amount of product for minimal blending (a little goes a long way) and keep it high on your cheekbone for a natural lift. This technique works well with cream blush too ✨

And finally… the #1 eyeliner reveal…
Taking the #2 spot: @urbandecaycosmetics 24/7 Glide-On Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil 🥈
Creamy, iconic, and delivers up to 16 hours of smudge-resistant wear for a reason. A classic that truly holds its own.
But the Winner…
@kulfi.beauty Kajal Clean Waterproof Long-Wear Eyeliner 🥇
Smoother. Deeper. Doesn’t budge. Effortless glide. Safe for the waterline. And somehow… cheaper 🌟
This is the one you reach for when you need your liner to stay exactly where you put it.
No smudging. No fading. No raccoon eyes.
I’ll have both linked in stories for you ✨

Part 2 of the eyeliner deep dive… and this is where things get real 👀
I’m putting these black liners through the ultimate smudge test—because if it can’t survive real life, it’s not making the cut.
Ranking them from #3 to #5 based on wear, comfort, and how well they actually stay put.
And trust me… the top spot is worth the wait.
Part 3 coming right up 👀
The one that actually checks every box 🖤

Come with me to Sephora… I went on a mission to find the best long-wear black eyeliner 🖤
I tested everything that matters:
smudge resistance, comfort, how it actually glides on… and of course, true deep black payoff.
Because not all liners perform the way they should.
Part 2 is where I start ranking them… 👀
