We loved this look from @makeupbygilii on @its._nai7 and love her story!

“I have always loved doing makeup—it’s been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Back home, I even completed a makeup course, but I never had the chance to step into the industry and make it my career. When I found out about the Makeup Academy, I knew it was the perfect opportunity to finally pursue my dreams.

Graduating from the program was such an incredible experience. It gave me the chance to refine my skills, learn advanced techniques, and work alongside some of the most talented artists I’ve ever met. The program didn’t just teach me about makeup—it gave me the confidence to embrace my creativity and step boldly into the world of professional artistry.

For this look, my inspiration came from bold, modern glamor. I wanted to create something striking yet elegant, with a focus on sculpted features, radiant skin, and a polished finish that would stand out in any setting. This look reflects my growth as an artist and my excitement for what lies ahead in this journey.”

We miss her in class but can’t wait to see her backstage with us at @nyfw soon!

I wanted to take a moment to extend my deepest gratitude to each member of the phenomenal makeup and hair team who contributed their remarkable skills and creativity to the recent New York Swim Week (NYSW) event.

TMA collaborative spirit and ability to work seamlessly under pressure were truly commendable. Your innovative ideas and adaptability played a pivotal role in making the NYSW a resounding success. The positive feedback we received from designers, models, and attendees alike is a testament to your exceptional talent and dedication.

Please accept my heartfelt appreciation for your tireless efforts and outstanding contributions. Your teamwork and creativity have undoubtedly left an indelible mark on this year’s NYSW, and we couldn’t have achieved this level of excellence without your team.

I look forward to the opportunity of working together again in the future, and I am confident that your continued efforts will lead to even greater accomplishments. Once again, thank you for your exceptional work and for being an integral part of the NYSW experience.
