If anyone is confused, I did the makeup for Marissa and Michelle in MAFS, not Michelle Wight.

Really disappointed in my community today.
This week should have been about celebrating a fun milestone. Instead, I’ve watched someone I considered a friend try to capitalize on it.
We all share talent, models, and clients in this industry. That’s never been the issue. The issue is intentionally inserting yourself into someone else’s moment for your own visibility.
When this artist had a Love Is Blind client featured in People, I didn’t reach out to that client to gain traction and business from her work. I celebrated her win because that’s what professional respect looks like.

You can call it business if you want. I call it character.
And if you didn’t know it already, I have a hard time not calling out bu****it.
