BlushPretty : Beauty Bar

As a woman, you can be many things …

Remember the days past of when you just snapped a picture and uploaded it to the ‘gram because you thought it - the moment, the look, the vibe - was great. You’d slap a filter on it, maybe, and then call it a day. No editing, no adding captions to the photo itself, no longer than two minutes publishing a post.

I miss those days.

So here I am … bringing it back.

I shall call this :

HAPPY FRIDAY Y’ALL!

Let’s get it.

MONDAY !

The weather has me feeling nostalgic about one of my favourite old studio locations : COLLEGE+OSSINGTON.

That space was my first and only attempt at a street level studio front and my third location overall. (We’ve had 8 studio locations over time since 2011, and have 3 today!)

It was well before the pandemic, and where we were on College was cute and quaint and quiet … but steps away from what really made Toronto cool.

At the time we had our smaller beauty bar set up at Yonge and Wellington too .. so we had both east and west of downtown Toronto COVERED!

But some of the best things about the College Street studio - the lighting in the back room, the stairwells that allowed Sam and I to create lots of looks and shoot them with my own camera (I thought we were so cool! Lol), and the pink and white walls.

The sun used to come in so nice … and the front room reception was hella cute.

But anyway … this photo is giving Summer. Sam - our extraordinaire always had plenty of ideas and I just went along for the ride and creativity.

To be back there, Sam braiding hair and me doing makeup that showcased sexy summer skin and monochromatic hints of colour, working with models always game to be photographed … TAKE ME BACK!!!

Le sigh. Here’s hoping we have a hot hot summer!

BlushPretty is not in the makeover game. I mean, they’re great and fun to watch … but …

We’re in the CONFIDENCE Game!

We’re talking about makeup and hair and skin that has you feeling yourself - not feeling LIKE yourself - but rather FEELING YO’SELF!

Makeup has the power to affect your mood, mindset, and emotional IQ in just a few steps. It’s an absolute gamechanger and that’s how we approach it.

Sure, we can cover all the itty bitty tiny imperfections, but tell us what we can play up - all the features that make you sit up tall, stand straighter, and strut into the room.

Confidence is the endgame.
