FFFCon Glam: day to night 🖤

Because the glam had to go from conference floor to VIP dinner, too.

Thank you for trusting me with your glam, Geena Novinsky, NP📍MA 🤍

So many incredible FFFCon glams still to come over the next few days.

I’m sorry, but when did bashing other makeup artists become a content strategy?

Having an opinion is one thing. Constructive criticism is part of being an artist, and there is so much we can learn from each other when it’s actually constructive.

But there’s a difference between sharing what you would do differently and deciding another artist did something “wrong.”

Especially when we’re talking about someone’s client. You weren’t in the chair. You don’t know what that client asked for, what they specifically didn’t want, what their skin was doing that day, what references they brought in, what they were comfortable with, or what conversations happened before the final look.

The same goes for products and techniques. What doesn’t work in your kit might be a staple in someone else’s. What you would have used instead, or what you personally like better, doesn’t automatically mean what another artist loves or uses is wrong.

Constructive criticism should help artists grow. It shouldn’t exist to prove that you know better.

There is plenty of room in this industry for different techniques, different products, different aesthetics, and different opinions, without making another artist the punchline of your content.

Thank you to Rhode Island Hairstylist for this video of me packing up, something I literally never even think to capture. Collaborating with and supporting other beauty professionals doesn’t take away from your own success.

Our work, our techniques, and our love of certain products can speak for themselves. We don’t need to diminish someone else’s to elevate our own.

I hear a lot from brides that they are not sure about rehearsal dinner glam cause they don't want it to ruin their wedding day look. And I say rehearsal dinner glam deserves its own moment without ever competing with the wedding day look. 🤍

For Sarah, we created two completely different beauty looks for the weekend. Rehearsal dinner glam that felt elevated and effortless, followed by a timeless bridal look for the wedding day.

Same bride. Two moments. Two completely different energies.

Bridal beauty doesn’t have to begin on the wedding morning and you deserve to walk into your rehearsal, welcome party, the night before the events feeling confident, elevated and glamorous without ever worrying it will ruin your wedding day look.

Tell me, did you ever think to add rehearsal dinner glam to your wedding beauty experience?
