ARTIST SPOTLIGHT Meet Ary aka @empress.ary We’re blown away by her verve, beauty and way with color. An HBCU grad and aspiring actor, Ary believes “...beauty comes with ease, naturally. Beauty is effortless and just is; and anything we do extra is merely to enhance it! I’ve worked for MAC, since November 2021, just under a year. Currently I’m at the great MAC Nordstrom Los Cerritos in Los Angeles. My beauty icons are Josephine Baker, Flo Jo, and Diana Ross. Each one used their beauty to represent something way bigger than themselves, and created legacies that impact our culture to this day. My favorite MAC product is Strobe Cream—I can’t live without that glow.” Ary, keep inspiring and serving us gorgeous looks to gag over! #macmelaninbeautycollective #MMBCartistspotlight #melaninpoppin #melaninmagic #blackbeauty
