“Before I ever worked on a MERIT campaign, I remember coming across one of their Instagram posts and sensing that the concept spoke to my own approach to makeup. Over the past five years, I’ve had the privilege of growing alongside the brand, refining my artistry through its products and shared philosophy. As Global Creative Makeup Artist, I look forward to continuing to create looks that feel effortless yet elevated.”
