I am definitely someone who is against washing your brushes with laundry soap or dish detergent… it’s way too many chemicals in it that products that will stay on brushes hair ( you can’t wash that out if you don’t use super hot water or in my opinion there will be always some left on your brushes) . Applying your makeup with it will cause skin breakouts.
I love using Brush cleanser that are meant for washing your brushes! My favorite one is @beautyblender Charcoal Solid soap ( it looks like they are getting it out of production 🥹 so Beauty blender if you see this post please don’t do that! )

When picking a makeup inspo pic, don’t just choose a photo of someone you think is gorgeous—focus on the makeup itself! A look that flatters one person might not translate the same way on different features.
✔ Best tip? Look for ‘eyes down’ photos. This helps you actually see the eyeshadow placement, blend, and details without distractions.
✔ Choose inspo that matches your skin tone, eye shape, and overall vibe. That way, the look is more likely to suit you!
✔ Consider your personal style & comfort – Love how it looks on someone else? Make sure you’d actually feel good wearing it too!
✔ Be realistic about edits & filters – Many inspo pics are retouched, so talk to your artist about how to achieve a similar effect in real life.
✔ Trust your artist to customize it.Makeup isn’t one-size-fits-all, and small tweaks can make it even better for your unique features.

Next time you save inspo, keep these in mind! Have you ever had a makeup look turn out totally different from the picture? Let me know in the comments! ⬇️

Depotting your setting powder is a game changer for any makeup artist! ✨ Not only does it save space in your kit, but it also keeps your setup more sanitary—no double-dipping with the same puff or brush on different clients. Plus, organizing loose powder in smaller, lightweight containers makes your kit easier to carry and more efficient on set. Who else loves a well-organized, travel-friendly kit? #MakeupArtistHacks #SanitaryMakeup #ProMUAKit #kristinamakeupnyc #bridalmakeupnyc #nycmua

It’s not easy walking around with 100lb heavy kit. At this point I am on 50lb looking for dowsing that to 30lb 🫣 wish me luck and stay on me on this journey!
Bed thing about this many products can be destroyed and you can lose a lot of money, but still worth the final results 🤍

The Rhode Beauty Lip Liners in Blend and Balance are perfect for those who love a soft, natural lip look. Blend is a soft peachy beige, while Balance is a rich caramel brown—both shades enhance the lips beautifully without feeling heavy. The formula is incredibly smooth and creamy, gliding on effortlessly without tugging. However, they’re not long-lasting, so they will require touch-ups throughout the day. Because of this, I’d recommend them for everyday wear or soft glam looks rather than for a professional makeup kit. If you love a liner that feels lightweight and easy to use, these are a great addition to your personal makeup routine!

A bridal trial is more than just a makeup test—it’s your opportunity to collaborate with your artist, refine your vision, and ensure you feel confident and beautiful on your big day. During the trial, you’ll have time to discuss your personal style, try different looks, and explore various colors and finishes to find what suits you best. It’s the perfect moment to experiment with different levels of coverage, lash styles, and even how your makeup wears over time. This session also allows you to address any skin concerns, test product longevity, and make any necessary adjustments to achieve a flawless, picture-perfect result. By the end of your trial, you’ll have a customized bridal look that enhances your natural beauty and makes you feel your absolute best when you walk down the aisle.

Yes just part of collection 🫣
Maybe you don’t know but I originally studied Economics, but one day in 2019, I found myself sitting at my vanity, looking at all my makeup and realizing how much I enjoyed applying it (even though, at the time, my skills were far from perfect). That moment sparked a thought—what if I started doing makeup for others?

I couldn’t shake the idea, so I dove into researching schools and soon began my journey at the New York Makeup Academy. Now, almost six years later, my family and friends have finally started seeing this as a real business, surprised that I never gave up—after all, wouldn’t it be easier to work in an office? But I knew that wasn’t the path for me.

I stayed focused on my dream, and today, here we are—growing, evolving, and making progress every single day!
We are still small group but I am so grateful for every single one of you who joined me in this journey 🤍🤍🤍
Love,
Kristina #kristinamakeupnyc

Brides, DON’T Make These 3 Makeup Mistakes Before Your Big Day!

1️⃣ Skipping the Makeup Trial – Your wedding day is NOT the time for surprises. A trial ensures you love your look and avoids any last-minute stress. It’s also the perfect time to test how your makeup lasts and make any adjustments before the big day.

2️⃣ Trying New Skincare Too Close to the Wedding – Introducing new products can lead to breakouts, irritation, or dryness. The last thing you want is unpredictable skin before your wedding! Stick to what works for at least 4–6 weeks and focus on hydration and gentle care.

3️⃣ Letting Others Decide Your Bridal Glam & Not Choosing the Right Artist – Everyone will have opinions, but the only one that truly matters is yours! Whether you want soft glam, natural beauty, or full glam, your makeup should reflect YOUR vision. That’s why choosing the right artist is just as important—your makeup artist should match your style, understand your preferences, and make you feel comfortable and confident.

Why should the Maid of Honor have a makeup trial too? Here are 3 reasons it’s a great idea! ✨

1️⃣ Full Wedding Day Vibes – When the bride and MOH do their trials on the same day, they get a real feel for how their makeup will look together in photos and in person. Plus, it’s a fun way to share the excitement!

2️⃣ Test & Adjust – A trial helps both the bride and MOH see how their makeup lasts, ensuring everything feels comfortable and looks flawless from ‘I do’ to the last dance.

3️⃣ A Perfect Excuse for a Fun Day Out – After the trial, why not go out for brunch, dinner, or a night out? It’s a great way to celebrate, bond, and make memories before the big day!
