A MESSAGE FROM STEPHANIE:

There’s a lot of new faces here (yay!) so I thought I would re-introduce myself! My name is Stephanie Ruiz (changing the last name to Arnone soon enough! Eep!) & I am blessed to say that I am a Professional Makeup Artist & Beauty Content Creator. I’ve been glamming all your beautiful faces for 10 now, and doing it at a full time capacity for 5 years (I actually used to be a kindergarten teacher & was doing this on the side). There’s a million makeup artists in this world, and our industry is very saturated with an incredible amount of tremendously talented professionals. So you ask, what makes me special? Why me? I truly feel like my passion and hustle is something that is constantly acknowledged by clients and viewers. I never take what I do for granted, and the humble and grateful heart I wake up with everyday is overwhelming. Aside from my family, I don’t think I’ve ever loved anything in my life as much as I love what I do. My passion for it is truly consuming,, and the feeling that comes over me when people react to how beautiful I have been able to make them look and feel is something I’ll never be able to articulate… because it really is just indescribable. In a world where we always are made to feel like we aren’t enough…I have been blessed enough to be able to be a light to be able to aide others in seeing that they truly ARE enough. They ARE beautiful. It’s in them, they just need a little help to enhance and see it. I started off with just a dream, and manifested it into a reality in being able to make a career out of making people feel like the best version of themselves, without filters… from brides, to celebrities & influencers, or my new & regular clients. In addition, by expanding my talent through social media creation, my goal is to share all of my artistic knowledge on a worldwide scale. And, more importantly, to remind people that they ARE exactly who they are meant to be, just as they are, beautiful & one of a kind.

I’m so thankful for all the faces; all the OGs & all the new friends! So thanks for being here!
