    Jackie Cruz describes her makeup aesthetic as very soft feminine glam. The makeup artist believes everyone posses a natural beauty about themselves, but with the help of makeup, she enhances that natural beauty into something so much more.  Jackie says she sees the charm in every client she has, but what she loves is making them see it in themselves.

    All forms of makeup truly fascinate Jackie Cruz, and she’d like to learn more about the different types. From editorial makeup to special FX studio makeup. Although Jackie does prefer softer glam looks she has an appreciation for all forms of the art.

    In five years time, Jackie Cruz would have completed her artistry program in California and would like to begin hosting makeup classes. She’d like to share her gift of doing makeup with others. Jackie enjoys teaching and sharing her knowledge and special makeup techniques with many. Furthermore, Jackie would like to open up her own makeup studio.

    Dayja Billingsly is a makeup artist based out of SSU and she travels to you. What is unique to Dayja Billingsly’s makeup aesthetic is that she not only dabbles in the world of makeup, but she’s also a painter. Dayja enjoys playing more on the creative side, so she stays away from the traditional ways of doing makeup. She also says that being a painter has taught her to have an extremely steady hand which is exceptionally important in doing others makeup.

    For Dayja the power of makeup is what truly fascinates her. She says makeup can enhance your natural features or make you look like an entirely different person. Both are great, and Dayja plays on both ends of that makeup spectrum.

    In five years time, Dayja would like to own her own makeup studio. She would also like to have her own makeup line that would include a vast range of shades. Available for all skin types. Dayja most importantly sees herself being happy.

  • Reasons to Love a Red Lip.

    Reasons to Love a Red Lip.

    Timelessness.

    The Red Lip is dated way back to the sixteenth century. Worn by Queen Elizabeth I, she sported the look with a pale powdered white face. Guess she wanted to keep a simpler look. More recently known for the bold lip are women such as Marilyn Monroe, who popularized the Red Lip in the 1950s. Hot Spot, I’m declaring it Tracee Ellis Ross is attempting to make the Red Lip her signature. She has worn it to the last four major events she attended The Golden Globe Awards, Marie Claire Mag Image Makers Awards, and the Blackish Stage Interview.

    Diversability.

    A Red Lip compliments all skin tones. Red is available in a wide variety of shades and because of that finding, the right stick for you is a breeze.

    Get the LOOK.

    Wicked Blood Red Lipstick, available by  LIME CRIME.

    56 Rouge Charnel, available by CHANEL.

    Stunna Lip Paint, available by FENTY BEAUTY.

    Sex Appeal.

    Nothing screams sexy like that of a Red Lip. It is undeniably alluring while also keeping a bit of mystery. “You want me, but you could never have me”, confessed the Red Lip. Become a Woman to Watch due to the confidence instilled in you by your lipstick.  She is powerful and with power comes great responsibility.

  • Matrilineal Makeup Muses 💖✨

     Matrilineal means of or based on kinship with the female line. It kind of makes since, so just go with it! I was going for the M thing.   This is the most recent. I love how clean this piece is! The green on my water line gives the feel of a nice leaf and, the brown matte lips are the soil! My skin could also be the soil now that I’m thinking about it. *melanin poppin* 
      Middle. I was really feeling my highlight this day! It was truly something serious. And, the dots under my eyes give a bit of an Anime feel.  This is the oldest. We have a bit of a smokey eye here, but that inner corner highlight is the true hero I’m loving it! And, the tip of the nose highlight! *life has been given* 

  • Highlights ✨

       So, I was really inspired by several Prom looks I’ve seen recently so I attempted one. Overall I am in love with the turn out! This highlight is absolutely blinding. I’m so into it! I’m thinking I’ll do a video tutorial on this look, keep an eye out for it! 🌟⚡️⭐️
