APRIL’S SMALL BUSINESS OF THE MONTH- GABBEZZMAKEUP

Let’s get dolled up with GabbezzMakeup

Makeup holds a significant place in the daily lives of many women, serving as both a form of self-expression and a tool for enhancing beauty. From playful experimentation in childhood with our mother’s makeup to the allure of glamorous nights out, makeup remains an ever-present element in our day-to-day lives. Its evolution over the years has introduced new styles, techniques, and an abundance of talented artists who continually push boundaries. Icons such as Pat McGrath, Mario Dedivanovic, Patrick Ta, and Charlotte Tilbury have dazzled us with their transformative artistry.

These artists, like countless others, embarked on their journeys from humble beginnings, each creating their own path to greatness through dedication and passion. Among them is Gabby, whose innate talent for makeup seemed almost predestined. In a recent conversation, Gabby shared her insights into her craft, revealing the profound love and dedication that fuels her artistry.
