These are the best MUA's that you need to be following. There's more on the list here, but I want to start with these six and then we'll get to more. I'm going to start doing roundups of makeup artists because obviously for me, I love artistry. I love, love, love seeing the work of makeup artists more than anything in the world. Like, you can see a favorite influencer, you can see me do your makeup, whatever the heck. Makeup artists are the true influencers to me, in my eyes anyway. So let's get into it. I'm going to go into my iPad which has my cheeky notes, you know, the boots on the ground journalism notes. So Kevin Luong who done the VMA look for Chloe Bailey, I absolutely freaking love this look and I'm not going to talk too much on it because you've already seen my video. If not, it's there. But he did the bridal makeup for Jordan Woods' wedding, absolutely insane makeup. He does a lot of Jordan Woods' makeup. He does Trinity, Coco Jones, Serena, just a lot, a lot of LA based girlies. And obviously Chloe Bailey, I can see is a key person. And even my girl Shelly, although she's not my friend, but you know, like I just say my girl when I like them, you know, I like all of them. Anyway, yeah, I just love the look. It's always like gorgeous soft base with the blush, with the, every time. It's very much doll makeup, doll, doll, doll, doll. Love it. Painted by Esther, I don't need to talk too much and I don't need to say too much because I have the video already where I've like broken down who she's done before. She did freaking Beyonce recently. So many celebrities to date, like serious roster of clients, and she's known for her famous blush. But just everything about her base eats. I literally stan her. I've been stanning her since the beginning. So yeah, yeah. Armando Kole, insane roster. He does a lot of Beyonce's makeup, Mama Tina, Cardi B he's done, he's even done Denessa Myricks. Insane freaking roster. 23 year old Armando Kole is insane. Like I absolutely love his work. There's literally a lot of Beyonce, Beyonce, Beyonce. I see as well, Amaya from Love Island who won. A lot of Love Islanders, and obviously mainly I can see Beyonce and Mama Tina. And speaks to really know how to do the face per canvas. All of these artists are like my favorites, my favorites. So absolutely love his work. Wow. Just incredible, incredible, incredible, incredible work. I recently discovered Diana Shin. I absolutely, I hope I said her name correctly, but she is, oof, yeah. Does Lori Harvey, does our girl Victoria Monet. She's done a flow as well, Stella. Yeah, mhm. A lot of Megan the Stallion's looks. Yes, absolutely. Like she speaks to that bronzed makeup look that I absolutely am obsessed with. Oh, so freaking tea. She's done Kim Kardashian, she's done Nia Long. Wow. Insane roster. Have a look at all of their pages. Like I think if you, if you know me and if you look at these artists, you know the type of makeup that I love to see. But freaking eats, freaking eats. All about bronze look. And one thing about Megan the Stallion is that she likes to lean into the look of her hair and her outfit. And I love that Diana just ties everything in with the makeup as well. So tea. She did her most recent pink makeup look for a music video she did. I can't remember what it was, but there was a recent music video as a remix. Anyway, yeah, next one. Ernesto, Ernesto, yes. There's a lot of Zendaya's looks, a lot, a lot of Zendaya's makeup looks. He's on Zara Larson, Jennifer Lopez, oh, amazing. Like his, he's even done Anne Hathaway. Oh, I just love everything about his work. Amazing, amazing, amazing. And he really leans into the vibe. I really love that look that he did with Zendaya when she had her Pixie like debut. So freaking tea. And obviously a lot of campaigns. A lot of these artists do campaigns as well. So yeah, really leans into the the theme, the look of the outfit, especially when it comes to the red carpets on premieres of movies. He was the one that did that white inner corner that Zendaya did and it's went viral for. Last but definitely not least, oh my girl Lake Sanu. I absolutely love her makeup. Like I've been, I've been loving her looks. Hunt her self, on her clientele. She's done Bella, she's done Willow Smith, she's done Michaela Cole. Oh, yeah, she's done Flow. She's even done Naomi Osaka. She's got a serious roster. And she just did Lauren Hill as well for the Balenciaga show I believe. Yes. Like freaking tea. Like I absolutely love her makeup. I love how she does it. She did Simone, Ashley, mmm. She's even done Nara Smith, like girl, girl. This look here was Jordan Dunn. Absolutely gorgeous, gorgeous freaking look. And she really leans into the glow with the body makeup as well. Tea, freaking tea. But yeah, these are all my favorite makeup artists that I think everybody should be following, everyone should be tapping into, looking at their work, studying their work. Yeah. Makeup artists for me are my true influencers. I am influenced by them the most. Onto looks, onto trends, onto products they use, like nobody influences me the way MUA's do. They're the ones doing the looks. They're the ones testing the makeup to see if it works for long wear. So as much as us influencers and you know, content creators are amazing at what we do, they are the real influencers for me. Sorry. Let me know if you've tapped into any of them and if there's any other makeup artist that you think I should shout out, let me know in the comments. Bye.
