LIVIA JAE i took this break over the last 4-6 weeks to really think about my work. my goals, my passions, my accomplishments, and where i want to go next. in the last year i have had incredible opportunities with incredible people and am so so grateful for everything and everyone i've encountered. i have been given the incredible opportunity to work with @cosmopolitan_nyfw for NYFWSS23 and i am so beyond grateful. new york fashion week has been a dream and an incredibly huge goal of mine for years and to say i am so excited and grateful for this opportunity! outside of new york i've done a lot of reflecting and planning for myself and my work for this upcoming year. i have been taking this time away to plan how i can shape my work and my brand into everything i want it to be and reach my full potential as an artist. i am very excited to start working with bridal and lifestyle shoot as well and focusing on my editorial and commercial work! i am also hoping to get back to doing makeup on myself, where i first found my art and passion:) i will be launching a new website and booking system to make it easier to create together and book with me! i will be focusing on booking in both the twin cities and chicago, and hopefully across the country! i would love to meet and work with artists all over the country and am hoping to travel more next year:) it is incredibly easy to burn out as a creative, especially when life throws unexpected things at you, PLEASE take a break when you need it. thank you from the bottom of my heart for you support and patience while i take the time to take care of myself, i promise it'll all be worth the wait:) PHOTOGRAPHER: @bluberrygirl #makeup #mua #chicago #chicagomua #twincities #minneapolis #saintpaul #artist #makeupartist #editorial #editorialmakeup #glam #bridal #nyfw
