5 Minute Day to Night Makeup Challenge | Real-Time Pro Artist Tutorial (No Cuts)
I’ve been a professional makeup artist, agency owner, and entrepreneur since 2008 — and this was, without a doubt, the biggest job of my career so far. This week, my agency was trusted to execute a $45,000 multi-day beauty event, managing 12 artists per day, rotating shifts, multiple locations, and extremely high expectations — all while I’m also a mom, business owner, and leader responsible for every single detail. From artist scheduling and contingency planning… To last-minute illness on day one (which did happen)… To immediately sending replacements, fixing minor scheduling issues on the spot, and ensuring the client experience never missed a beat — this job tested every ounce of experience I’ve built over the last 17+ years. When you’re managing this many artists over this many days, the risks are real: ❄️ weather 🤒 illness ⏰ timing delays 📋 logistics 👩‍👧 parenting on top of it all And yet — this is exactly why systems, leadership, and preparation matter. We’re heading into Day 3, and I’m hopeful for a smooth day — but regardless, this experience has already been career-defining. ✨ Want to know how I landed this $45,000 job? Leave a comment below and I’ll break it down — from relationships, reputation, and pitching, to why brands trust my team with projects of this scale. If you’re a beauty professional, entrepreneur, or working mom trying to build something meaningful — you’re not alone 🤍 Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment if you want more behind-the-scenes business and mom-life content. @nyxcosmetics
