@gbrillon got GawJess with me 😉 ✨

Getting comedian Gina Brillon glam for the Habitat for Humanity NYC & Westchester gala @habitatnyc_wc was such a joy ✨ She hosted the night beautifully - both ❤️ heart and 😂 hilarious. From the moment she walked into the Metropolitan Club, she had me laughing 🤭 nonstop.

👄 She gave me full creative freedom (my fave!), so I kept it “suga sweet” (she loves Mariah!) & went with my signature soft glam: glowing skin, a clean winged liner, and a natural finish that lets her beauty take center stage. 🎤

If you don’t already know Gina, she’s a powerhouse Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 comedian, actor, and writer - and genuinely one of the funniest women out there. Go check out her reels and follow if you want a good laugh about this Latina from the Bronx married to a Midwestern husband.

Thank you for letting me glam you, Gina 🤍 and thank you @sabrina_lipp1 for the 🔌… your post is next! 😉

The Pink-Barbie-Bridal-Look is back! And I’m all for it 😍 Meet Helena, our beautiful Dominican 🇩🇴 bride who decided on the morning of her wedding she wanted a softer 💞 look, and we said “Bet!” (clearly I’m from NY 🗽) and we did just that!

We also consulted with her on the perfect hair style too. I just knew romantic glam waves by Liz @platinumbeautypro was the perfect look for her corona 👑 and long sleeved lace dress. And it all came together perfectly. 👌

I La-la-loveeeed how this simple, matte makeup look came out 😍 Don’t get it twisted: It’s still almost the same appoint of product as full glam.

Earlier this summer I had the pleasure of being hired for a destination mission: to makeover my soror Jackie for a triple celebration - her bday, her hubs bday, and their 20th wedding anniversary.!💐🎂

Not only did Jackie slay in her gown, but her makeup held up in the blistering sun as we partied to típico with GawJess lake views in Maine! 😎

Here’s a snippet of some of the fun we had. Cue: bodega baddie 😉

👰🏻‍♀️ @jmend64

Making over Rosaria for her wedding day is why we do this…15 years later, moments like these still melt my heart. ❤️🫠

I hadn’t even started her makeup yet, but as I took my time to prep her skin with my cryo tools, she started to get emo 🥹 because in that moment, she started to feel cared for by 2 girls who had only met her just once before.

And while sometimes I do wonder if I’m “too old” old 👵🏼 for this job, from my feet to my back to my hands, their appreciation for me trumps all of that physical pain. I get a glimpse of the joy 🤩 I provided someone on one of the most special days of her life….even if it was just for two hours.

So I may just be doing this wedding thing a little bit longer 😉

✏️ Book us for 2026!

Last weekend Kaytlin got GawJess 💋

Kaytlin has permanent makeup (a tatted eyeliner). I’ve seen makeup artists scared of this. I say, no sweat 😅 , I’ll just make it darker.

We also kept her natural curls and defined them enough for a pretty updo for her wedding.

And I think she came out pretty fly if you ask me!

Makeup is my art, but using wisdom & choosing faith is the real glow-up. 🙌

A gentle reminder on your feed for anyone who had even a doubt in her mind. 🤗

Too good to just choose one 🌺🌼

✨ Yesterday, powerhouse singer, Grizel aka @chachination got GawJess 💄for her performance at the Puerto Rican Festival (116th st in East Harlem #IYKYK)

She rocked a custom top shaped like her upper body (yes, molded! 👀) with our 🇵🇷flag, created by @ms.delicatesavage … una obra de arte 🔥

Andddd… turns out, her uncle is married to my great aunt. This world is to friggin small! 😄

If there’s anything yesterday’s red carpet was foreshadowing for 2025, it’s that MINIMAL makeup is back. And it’s not just for basic b!itches who can’t do their own makeup.

The 2025 Golden Globe Awards dazzled not only with stunning fashion but also with remarkable beauty looks that set the tone for this year’s makeup trends. Here’s some of the celebrity makeup styles from the evening and how they align with the anticipated beauty trends of 2025.
🏆
Emma Stone debuted a chic copper pixie cut, complemented by a fresh, dewy makeup look. Her minimalist approach, featuring subtle eye makeup and a natural lip color, embodies the ‘less is more’ trend, emphasizing simplicity and elegance.
🏆
Zendaya channeled Old Hollywood with a crimson waved bob and soft-focus makeup. Her look featured a classic cat eye, soft blush, and nude lips, aligning with the timeless beauty trends making a resurgence this year.
🏆
Selena Gomez showcased an elegant side-swept bob paired with a vibrant coral red lipstick. This bold lip color choice reflects the ‘cherry-coded’ trend, where cherry hues dominate makeup palettes, adding a chic and vibrant touch to the overall look.
🏆
Ariana Grande captivated with a bold ‘60s-inspired floating eyeliner, adding a modern twist to her classic look. This daring eye makeup aligns with the ‘aura beauty’ trend, emphasizing bright, colorful makeup that reflects individual moods and promotes confidence.
🏆
Nicole Kidman embraced a voluminous blonde bouffant, exuding a glamorous aura. Her makeup featured soft blush and nude lips, highlighting the ‘goddess complex’ trend that encourages femininity with goddess-inspired beauty elements. These celebrity looks not only dazzled on the red carpet but also encapsulate the beauty trends set to dominate in 2025. From minimalist elegance to bold statements, there’s inspiration for everyone to incorporate into their personal style this year.

@pinklenomade made every minute count for @ecanela1988 pregame on wedding day!

When the MUA on your team asks you to be her Birthday MUA 🥹🥹🥹 …

so you know you gotta kill it bc she’s only going to scrutinize every step…

even though she low keys trusts me 😝…

but still, us MUAs are secretly judging the other MUAs doing our makeup 😆…

it’s just what it is…

but thank goodness she loved it 😍

HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎈@stayglam_beauty

Keep it 💯: EVERY GIRL has had these thoughts once or twice 😂

Alex was going to her friend’s wedding and we aligned on a subtle silver eye and she basically let me do whatever I wanted (I love y’all say that!) 😘

Now booking 2005!

I ask God for a Man and he gave me a Son. Before an MUA, I’m a MOM first ❤️ My one and only baby, my nene, my Jordan.

I started this makeup journey when he was just 👶🏻 1 year old. I’d go to my 9-5 at L’Oréal 💄 and then I’d go to makeup school 🎨 after work.

It was a sacrifice for sure being away from him for that many months but we managed (plus, it’s not like he’ll ever remember the nights I wasn’t around anyway 😝).

I love you pooka bear! 😘 🥰

Do MUAs or Hair Stylists ever talk you out of the look you want?

I cannot tell you how much I hated when the Spanish salons where I grew up would go hard to convince me not to cut my hair, because I had “pelo bueno,” (good hair). Just give me what I want!

If you have a desired look in mind, I get consulting with your makeup artist on the best way she/he can interpret that. But ti flat out deny you … I’ve seen it one too many times.

First of all, red lip is the power move, not a problem to solve. 💄✨ Whether you’re walking down the aisle or hitting the dance floor, that bold red lip will be serving Vava Voom, not ‘too much.’ Trust me, this isn’t my first red-lip rodeo—over 15 years of perfecting this glam game means I know exactly how to make your pout 👄 unforgettable.

So, if you’re ready to turn heads and embrace that iconic, fearless glam, let’s do it. I’ll bring the confidence, you bring the vibes—and together, we’ll make magic happen.

Ready to book? Slide into my DMs, girl, that red lip is calling your name! 😉

So after my rant, I’m curious: Do MUAs or Hair Stylists ever talk you out of the look you want?

What should be my payback?

I love my @hair_by_ericadiaz until I don’t 🥊😝

❗️While this may be a big reason most MUAs won’t work at the same time as the hair stylist, we simply take one for the team so the Bride isn’t in the chair for 4 ⏰ hours!

Pero like, can ya’ll be careful next time! 🤪 I gotta drive 🚗 💨 home with the glasses! 🤓

One things’s for sure when you hire us:
WE GON’ GET LIT 🔥
