No matter where you stand on the current conversation about luxury and excess, this makeup launch by Louis Vuitton, helmed by legendary, inspirational Pat McGrath, has  been provocative and polarizing. While most Americans are fighting to hold on to stable shelter, health insurance and food, the drum beat of capitalism & consumerism marches on. It evokes conversation about art, aspiration, wealth, privilege, and the widening divide of have and have not. With the luxury sector recently being exposed in ways we haven’t seen before, is this high art, and amazing product, an  attempt to raise the bar of accessibility again, or a clever marketing tool?

Though I’m not looking to buy in at these prices ( $160 for a lipstick & $250 for an eyeshadow quad ) I am curious about the product, the pigment and design that went into the collection.  I’m also happy to see an amazing artist ( a black woman ) be involved in such a high level endeavor. What are your thoughts about all of this, particularly at this time? 2025-08-31 00:28:55 No matter where you.. 169 -21% 81 +297%

As a makeup artist, I’ve always been committed to mastering & working with the full global complexion range. It’s what defines a professional, as opposed to a hobbyist. Through education, I’ve had  the gift of connecting with, and mentoring artists from  across the globe, including a few of your faves. 🤫😉
 It only made sense when opportunity in product development consulting came about. It’s all connected, though some things I actively pursued, while others found me! I didn’t  know how the pieces and parts would add up, and there have been many struggles, in an industry that rewards mediocrity & hype over intention and integrity. How do I remain true to my craft while making a living? What does social media mean to me, and how do I want to show up in that space? What is the difference between promotion and exploitation?  As I think about my next chapter, and what I want that to look like, I hope that the challenges I’ve shared will encourage someone else to show up in their own story.  You got this! 😘

Tag someone who inspires you to live out loud!

Purple blends the stimulation of red & the calming properties of blue. It’s traditionally associated with luxury, passion, royalty, creativity, and even  spirituality. I’ve always been drawn to it, particularly, the way it flatters so many complexions. In this demo look, I created with my student replicating , I knew it had to be very pigmented to read true on deeply melanated skin. 
  Most shadows are still created with general market in mind, and wouldn’t  show true on this depth of complexion. This is why it’s so important to consider the pigment load and skin tone, when shopping for colors.

My fascination with color, makeup and complexion work came from my love of painting and drawing.  The 80s were an explosion of celebratory, vibrant color, gender-bending, and coloring outside of the lines! When economies dip and recessions hit, that same experimentation and willingness to embrace gets put into a box. 
Makeup in the 90s brought on an era of matte neutrality, and paired down monochromatic schemes, for the most part. Later, pops of color would reappear. 
I would always comb through essence ebonymagazine  to see beautiful black women celebrated, and painted to perfection by the masters. Each look was a different perspective, character driven, and powerful. I saw how each artist’s interpretation was its own truth, though not like the last. I didn’t  know that my portrait drawing would lead to makeup, and form the core of my ability to see and understand the full range of  global complexion. Using my voice & vision to help bring about more inclusive offerings brings  me full circle. Thankfully there’s so much more product available now to do this work, and commitment to understanding the fullness of this conversation is what separates the enthusiast from the professional.

Miss Ross ✨✨✨
Few music, beauty and fashion icons have had the deep enduring affect as Diana Ross.  Her delicate nymph-like features, doe eyes, and grand piano smile, particularly in the sixties has always been captivating to me.

This was a fun look I did on gorgeous nicole_castillo at a workshop in L.A. She’s always incredible to work with as a muse! She not only takes in the details of the concept, she becomes that character. I’ve been lucky to work with a few muses, who really understand collaboration. 
  This look calls on the color washing of the 70s, and the vivid prism of purples and magentas I remember from the 80s. I wanted to revisit these aspects in a refined and elegant way. Never mad at a drop-smoke either.
