Karissa Kizeah Thomas' life changed at the age of 16 years old when her grandmother passed away from cancer, leaving her to fend for herself. She pursued a career as...
As a new makeup artist, I have had the privilege of enhancing the natural beauty of countless individuals, each with their own unique features and personal style.
Through these collaborations, I have not only established a professional relationship with these influencers but also forged friendly bonds that have extended beyond the makeup chair.
Today, I'm working to perfect the complexion of Nicki's face, from Nicki and Klyne, which are one of the most well-known and highly followed influencers in the Jamaican youtube industry.
As I meticulously blended the foundation onto Nicki's skin, I smiled with satisfaction. The transformation was already beginning to take shape, and I could see the confidence radiating from Nicki's face.
I glanced over at Tali, who is busy working on enhancing Lisa's beauty with a soft glam.
Proud a me law-law cah done!
Lisa had mentioned earlier that she's attending the party at Seastone tonight and wanted to be at her best for the event.
With my full attention on Nicki, I carefully applied the finishing touches to her makeup, making sure that every detail was just right. I blended, contoured, and highlighted her features, taking care to enhance her natural beauty and bring out her best features.
As I approached the final step, I picked up the setting spray from the nearby table and instructed Nicki to close her eyes. Without hesitation, she obediently followed my directions, folding her eyelids and scrunching her eyes tightly shut.
I giggled, "A weh yaa tighten uh eye dem so fah?"
Nicki burst out laughing, "Aye! Me cah bada wid you enuh. The liquid always cold that's why."
I gave her a teethy grin, "Come miss make me spray dis pon yuh face. Nuh want Klyne cuss me say a me make yuh late."
With a steady hand, I lightly misted the setting spray over her face, ensuring an even coverage. The fine mist settled onto her skin, setting the makeup in place. Afterward, I handed her the handheld fan to help dry her face and she took it from my hold and held it inches away from her face, a wide smile spreading across her face as she took in her reflection in the mirror.
"Waaii me love dis. The strike a blue just! Me deven know wah fi say. Yuh bad it up sista gyal."
As I waited for the makeup to fully dry, I picked up my camera and maneuvered to the camera application. Moments after I took the fan from her hold and politely asked if she would mind posing for a photo. She agreed eagerly, striking a pose and smiling brightly for the camera.
