There’s something I will never get tired of teaching… color theory.

Not just “this looks good” or “this is trending,” but truly understanding why something works on the skin.

When you understand saturation and value, everything changes.

You stop guessing.
You stop fighting the skin.
You start working with it.

Every color has a depth (value) and an intensity (saturation), and if those don’t align with the skin you’re working on, it’s not going to show up the way you intended. It’s either going to disappear, turn ashy, pull too strong, or just feel off.

You can’t take a color that lives in one value range and expect it to perform the same on the opposite end of the spectrum. It has to meet the skin where it’s at.

This is where real artistry happens.

Not in copying a look, but in understanding how to adapt it for any skin tone and undertone in front of you.

That’s the part I love the most.
Watching it click for students.
Seeing them go from guessing to knowing.

Because once you understand color, you’re not limited anymore.

I love my job SO much. 🖤🎃
I got to teach the students how to do light prosthetic makeup and creative face painting today and watching their faces light up when they realize “oh…I CAN do this” is literally my favorite part.

Halloween makeup will always have my heart.
The creativity, the colors, the characters, the artistry… nothing compares.

Teaching magic + making monsters = best day ever.
