through many years of artistic discovery, I've found myself drawn towards a more contemporary approach - creating looks that offer both sophistication and gracefully enhanced beauty.

my first memories of makeup date back to the days of 6 or 7 years old - sneakily opening my mother's makeup drawer, sampling her brightest lipsticks and leaving tiny fingerprints over her shimmering eyeshadows. however, my first genuine spark of interest in makeup would occur almost ten years later. it was then that I began struggling with acne and My self confidence took a major hit. i remember clicking through countless google pages, searching for anything that could help me feel better about the annoying little red bumps taking over my teenager face.
this research led to my rediscovery of makeup, except this time the focus wasn't on the bright lipsticks and glittering eyeshadows my mom had worn. i took a deep dive into technique & application (particularly skin-focused) and eventually found myself spending hours each week binging the latest uploads by old-school "beauty gurus" like Jaclyn HIll and carly bibel. then began my attempt at replicating their techniques on myself as best i could... i had always been an artistic kid, but learning how to paint a face was a whole new challenge (and i loved it).
years go by and my fascination maintained itself through my college years. i constantly volunteered my services to friends, and began to gain experience with a variety of skin tones, types, and textures. I then started experimenting with various product lines outside of those in my personal makeup collection.
i graduated college with a bachelors in marketing and decided to take on the beauty indsutry full-time as a Bridal image consultant
so after a season of building my hair & makeup portfolio, i started my career with a local bridal team. i existed as a sponge during those years i spent on the team, absorbing as much experience and knowledge as I possibly could. three years later i ventured out and started my own business - beauty x brielle.
now, i get to spend my days wrapped up in beauty & creativity, meeting so many incredible & kind humans along the way (truly some of my very best friends started out as random clients)... all while making a living off of something that started as a hobby... talk about the ultimate dream job.
in recent years, i've ventured into a few new and exciting realms of the makeup world & the bridal industry. i went international for the first time in 2023 with a destination booking at the Four Seasons IN anguilla. in that same year, i also hosted my first group masterclass, teaching a talented team of bridal artists local to atlanta.
looking forward - i now have a number of destination bookings on the calendar for the upcoming bridal year. i'm genuinely ecstatic as I sit and think about the future of my business. most of all, I'm grateful for all of the amazing past & future clients i have the honor and pleasure of creating and connecting with.
The Dior Backstage Highlighting Quad. The versatility of this product is unmatched to any other item in my kit. I use it on the eyes and on multiple areas of the face to achieve the perfect pearly glow.
Anything 1950's jazz. Think Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett. I fell in love with the genre in high school and my taste hasn't changed much since then (give or take a few doses of Mr. World Wide here & there).
Nancy Meyers films will always be a favorite. 'Its Complicated' and 'Something's Gotta Give' are both currently my repeat comfort watch.
My feet are two different sizes (almost a size & a half). Side by side, its incredibly obvious and it makes shoe shopping one of my least favorite things to do.
