I don’t have 48 hours a week to work on my dream

I don’t have 48 hours a week to work on my dream.

I only have 4️⃣.

But I use them on purpose.

I still work full time as a civil engineer. But before and after work? I’m building the career I actually want.

Not just for likes.
Not just for clout.
For growth.
For commitment.

4 hours a week might not look like much.
But when you have a plan, it adds up fast.

💬 Drop the word “PRACTICE” in the comments and I’ll DM you the free planner when it’s ready after I refine it for you!

Hot take: Posting your practice doesn’t mean you

Hot take: Posting your practice doesn’t mean you think it’s perfect.

In fact, I’ve been doing the opposite! 🫣 Practicing bridal looks I’m not fully confident in …

... and posting anyway!

Because every smudgy lash line, every wrong shade match, every “almost there” look is a brick in the foundation of a style I’m still forming.

🎯 Confidence comes from the process, not the polish. Here are more unwritten rules I’m breaking as a bridal MUA:

📸 Rule #1: Only post perfect, polished looks
🧽 What I’m doing: Posting practice—even the imperfect ones

🤫 Rule #2: Keep your trial work private
🔍 What I’m doing: Sharing my experiments + what I’m testing

🧖🏻‍♀️ Rule #3: Only show makeup that translates well on camera
🎥 What I’m doing: Showing real skin (even when it didn’t pick up “right”)

💄 Rule #4: Wait until your style is fully developed
👩🏻‍🎨 What I’m doing: Building my signature makeup look publicly

📉 Rule #5: Don’t share until you’re “ready to book”
📈 What I’m doing: Using my in-progress work to connect with future clients now

💌 Want to practice with more intention too? Comment “MAKEUP PRACTICE” and I’ll DM you my FREE Consultation Sheet + Face Chart.

I tested the NARS Light Reflecting Foundation on different canvases, from teens to 20s to 30s.

Same formula. 3 age groups. 3 different finishes!

If you’ve been eyeing this one but aren’t sure how it’ll wear on your skin, read the full review—application tips, wear test results, and who I’d actually recommend it for.

No one talks about this in the bridal MUA industry

No one talks about this in the bridal MUA industry, but it helped me show up with more confidence:

*Practicing bridal looks I don’t fully feel ready to post.*

Why isn’t anyone talking about this?

I used to think you had to wait until it was perfect to share! But every soft wash of blush that looks perfect in person but can’t be seen anywhere on camera, every skin prep experiment that prevents the foundation from sliding off, every almost-there look … these are all part of the artistry, too!

Still figuring out my signature bridal makeup look and I see it coming with every practice 🤌🏻
