B Side
Traditionally, the B side refers to the flip side of a record.
They pull the references, scour the archives, and paint the picture you see on the big screen.
The celebrity, model, or actor is the single with the most airtime.
But the glam team?
Theyre the producers, conductors, friends, and family members.
For lack of a less ubiquitous phrase, they make it work.
Because the origin of a look is just as important as the look itself.
The backstory deserves its hard-earned glory.
Below, join us in taking a peek behind the curtain.
On the inspiration for the makeup look…
We used everything from Serenas WYN Beauty line.
She wanted to go for a natural look, so we just enhanced her beauty.
On working with Serena…
Serena is so fun!
We are always laughing during our glam sessions.
It never feels like work when Im working with her.
On her early years and starting her career in beauty…
I grew up in Lynwood, California.
I was never really into makeup or doing makeup growing up.
My sisterwho does hairsuggested I get into makeup.
17 years later, Im grateful I took her advice.
During [those early years], we didnt have the social platforms we do now.
I think it was only MySpace, and Facebook had just launched.
You had to work really hard to make a name for yourself.
Fast-forward 13 years and Im living my dream as a celebrity makeup artist.
Ive met some great people doing what I do.
On her career highlights…
It has to be doing the Met [Gala] back in 2021 with Serena.
[It was] every artists dream.
I love it when I see a woman with a unique style.
It could be the boldest wing liner or magenta lipstick or blonde eyebrows.
Uniqueness is beauty to me.
On her mentors and icons…
I admire any self-made woman in this industry.
It takes a lot of dedication and hard work.
Overall, just be a nice person.
Let your personality shine through in every room you step into.
You never know whos watching.
