The Inspo vs. The Results

2025/2/8 Edited to

... Read moreWhen it comes to makeup, inspiration can come from anywhere—fashion trends, art, or even nature. Understanding how to translate that inspiration into practical techniques is key to achieving amazing results. Whether you’re dipping your toes into makeup artistry or are an experienced professional, the challenge of recreating a look can be both exciting and daunting. One of the best ways to get started is by browsing through social media platforms and makeup forums to gather creative makeup ideas. Joining communities like #letschat or #creativemakeupideas can provide a wealth of information and feedback from fellow enthusiasts. These platforms offer a space to share techniques, tips, and even seek advice on specific challenges you might face. Additionally, consider the importance of product selection and application techniques. Using high-quality products suited to your skin type is essential; this can dramatically affect the outcome of your recreated looks. Take time to experiment with various tools and styles—finding what works best for you is crucial. Ultimately, the journey from inspiration to real results is a process filled with trial and error. Embrace the learning curve and enjoy the creative freedom that makeup artistry offers!

Stunning, beautiful, iconic! Only note would be to add the faux freckles I think. You are so talented. 😍

Having inspiration is not something to completely copy or you are just mimicking someone else’s creativity and idea!!! Use it as true inspiration, get something similar but not exactly the same!! You want to be creative yourself, you already are if you’re wanting to take some pics of yourself or

I saw these nails and wanted them in black and white. After I did the set they reminded me Megumi from Jujustu Kaisen. I may start a nail series of nails I’d wear on a date with someone. #animenails #nailideas #jjk #megumi #press ons

My go to eyeshadow look is a cut creased, quite frankly is just so easy to create. But graphic liners 😅 or any eyeshadow that involves lines…. I’m quite terrible🥴. I had no rhinestones, so I added glitter instead. I love it, I know practice makes a difference. #MakeupInspo #unfiltered

Before anyone says “they aren’t the same!”, I always give my nail tech full artistic liberty with my nails. I give her an inspo picture and let her make the design her own. I trust her and her talents 100% and I’m over the moon with the results! #nails #naildesign #nailtech #gothicnails

Healthy Meal Inspo 2025 🍋
As some of you may know, I’ve been Pescatarian for going on 8 years, hence why you see seafood incorporated in almost every meal here 🙈 I always like to start the new year off realigning with my fitness and heath goals and making sure I’m feeding my body with the proper nutrients to see results.
