Preparing for a special event like a Morphe dinner is always exciting, and I love sharing the full experience—from outfit selection to the final beauty touches. When I chose my maxi skirt and top from Odd Muse, I wanted something elegant yet comfortable. Adding body oil before dressing is my secret to keeping skin glowing and smooth; it also helps the bronzer and fake tan blend beautifully. Accessorizing can be tricky, especially with silver cuffs that sometimes dig into the hands—pro tip: wear them after dressing to avoid them catching on skin or clothing. I also swapped out my necklace because sometimes less is more when styling a standout outfit. Foot makeup matters just as much as face makeup! I always check my toes for color, making sure they don’t look pale compared to the rest of the look. For shoes, strappy white heels added the right vibe and complemented the white Bottega bag perfectly. Lastly, I love finishing with a signature scent like Elizabeth and James Nirvana, which keeps me feeling confident and fresh all night. Everyone’s approach to get-ready routines is unique, but sharing these tips has helped me connect with others who enjoy expressing themselves through fashion and beauty, including the trans and transgender community that I proudly represent. If you’re prepping for an event soon, remember: choose pieces that make you feel good, protect your skin, and don't be afraid to personalize your look with accessories and fragrance that tell your story.
