Ready to discover the magic? Then grab your makeup brushes—or, if those turned into broomsticks last Halloween, hold on tight to those instead! 😂🧹
Because today, we’re diving into something far more enchanting than potions and pointy hats… A fabulous chat with the one and only Makeup Artist extraordinaire, Gabrielle Devine! 💄😊
Gabrielle is all about that natural beauty glow and has the kind of skills that make you look like a superstar—even if you just flew in on a broom. 😉✨
Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia, our beauty sorceress comes with a resume so impressive it practically waltzes in wearing a top hat. 🎩😄
But she’s not just any makeup artist—Gabby’s an Emmy nominee! And no, not for making lipstick vanish into thin air… although now I’m curious—can she? 💋😎
Now, you may ask, “An award… for makeup?” 😲
Absolutely! Her talent is so dazzling that even the television bigwigs said, “Yep, let’s give that glam queen a shiny nomination!” It's like giving a gold medal to your fries for being extra crispy. 🌟🍟
Speaking of fries… ever wonder why we call them “French” when they actually come from Belgium? Wikipedia spills the tea! During World War I, American soldiers in Belgium heard French being spoken by the Belgian Army and assumed those tasty chips were French. Boom. French fries were born. 🇧🇪➡️🇫🇷➡️🍟😄
Oops… there I go again, pulling a Britney: “I played with your time, got lost in the fries…” 😵🎶
Back to Gabrielle—she’s worked with the elite, the famous, and the fabulously creative in TV, film, fashion, and advertising. 😎📺
She’s the ultimate makeup magician who can turn you into a movie star or runway queen—or at least make you feel like one. 💃💅
Now that we’ve had our giggles, let’s uncover some makeup mysteries and maybe pick up a beauty spell or two. By the end, your natural glow will shine brighter than a jack-o’-lantern on Halloween night! 🕷️🕸️💄
