13 years of being my own boss 🖤 building Makeup by Aga & Aga Rhodes Bridal Makeup , 30 years of doing 💄 .
From the late nights to the early mornings, I wouldn’t trade this journey for anything.
Deeply grateful to every client, brand, collaboration, and fellow business owner who has trusted my vision along the way. Cheers to the beautiful chaos! 🥂✨

Calling this “new work” doesn’t even do it justice—it is so much more than that. ✨
Some time ago, I put out a wish to the Universe: I asked to collaborate with women who are changing the world, vibrating on the same frequency, and inspiring me daily. PATRICIA MILLER is living proof of that manifestation!
We first met when she rebuilt the eco-sustainable M4 Factory, then sold in her own way , and now leads American Wild Horse Conservation & dose so much good in animal rescue 🙏🏻
I’ve had the privilege of working alongside her through so many beautiful chapters. She truly does it all, and she looks absolutely stunning doing it! 🤍
Beyond the business, she has become a dear friend—a gift I never take for granted.
Thank you for having me on this breathtaking set with your gorgeous horses! 🐴

“Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage...” 🦋✨
Looking back at this look I designed and executed 8 years ago for The Makeup Show in Chicago .
The concept was heavily inspired by The Smashing Pumpkins’ “Bullet with Butterfly Wings”.
We live in a world that can feel incredibly cruel right now, but I wanted to share this memory as a reminder: being an artist is a form of resistance.
Fighting against the regime means refusing to let the darkness win.
Creating beauty, spreading light, and leading with kindness is a huge part of that fight.

Art is our voice. Use yours—and don’t forget to vote! 🗳️🎨

Thirteen years ago, a trip for The Powder Group The Artist Summit turned into a love affair with Provincetown .
This is part two of my personal photo and video dump from a town that completely stole my heart.
The trip to get here is always a long mix of cars, flights, water taxis, and ferries, but the reward is stepping into such a special place.
It makes sense that the vibe is so creative and deep; Provincetown is Americas oldest continuous art colony, and it is built on the sacred ancestral lands of the Wampanoag people , you can feel the energy the moment you step on that soil .
The glowing light, the quiet sunrises, and the bright sunsets are hard to put into words-a camera can’t capture even a fraction of it.
It’s just the best space to clear your head, reflect, reset , being surrounded by community and Provincetown art community, inspires you like no other place .
I did squeeze in a few fabulous outfits, as always !
See you next time, Provincetown 🌊🌅⛅️⛴️🎨✨

I let it go and fully embrace the magic of the present moment!
Part One of The Powder Group The Artist Summit 2026 & let me tell you , it was epic .
With a full heart, a beaming soul, and eyes still red from tears of laughter and emotion, still buzzing from three incredible days in the magical town of Provincetown with people who dare to invest in themselves.
My friends, colleagues, best friends, chosen family—words can't express how truly recharged we all feel after that week. For me personally, it was a full circle moment: 13 years ago, I attended my first Artist Summit while standing at a career crossroads. This week, I stood on that very stage as a presenter! That story deserves its own post.
I’m beyond grateful for this community and so proud of everyone who traveled by plane, train, automobile, or ferry to be part of it. We know it’s not easy , but makes it extra special !
I’ll be talking about this experience for months to come!
Thank you to our sponsors! Without you, these events are not possible at all !

silly Instagram is only letting me tag 20 people 😭

💋 If you think red lipstick is just a makeup product... think again.

Welcome back to week 2 of my Beauty Through the Ages series! Last week we blushed, but this week, we are diving into the ultimate icon of makeup history: the classic red lip. 💄✨
You all know a bold, red is my absolute signature look, and on the gorgeous model we took that power up a notch with this ultra-glossy, statement pout.
But did you know this shade carries thousands of years of pure rebellion?
Let’s talk history:
1️⃣ It was the ultimate power move. Back in Ancient Egypt, Queen Cleopatra famously had her signature red lip paint custom-made by crushing thousands of carmine beetles into beeswax.
2️⃣ It was a badge of courage. In 1912, American suffragettes marched for the right to vote wearing bright red lipstick as a defiant symbol of female emancipation and strength.
From ancient royalty to modern-day protest, red has always been a weapon of confidence. It’s not just a trend—it’s history in a tube. Now more that ever ! Get that red lip on 💄
👇 Drop a 💋 in the comments if red is your power shade too, and tell me: matte or glossy ?!
