Ngozi Esther Edeme, better known as Painted by Esther (@paintedbyesther), has become one of the most recognisable makeup artists of her generation 🤎✨
Known for her signature blush-forward approach and instantly recognisable artistry, her work has helped spark new conversations around color, beauty and deeper skin tones.
Speaking to Dazed Beauty, Esther shared:
“I love that my work encourages Black women to wear more colour.”
She also spoke about helping women realise that:
“Pinks, corals and berry shades all suit us.”
Her influence goes far beyond makeup. For many beauty lovers, her work has helped challenge long-standing ideas about what darker skin tones can and cannot wear, proving that color, blush and creativity belong to everyone.
The work speaks for itself ✨

These are quite long, strong arms. Proportional to ahem... someone taller. Right? The person is also wearing a watch: we know S does, too - and quite the same type of strap.
Wee reminder for the newbies and the amnesic people in the back: this was an IG story posted in February 2022 by Gareth the MUA, and then quickly deleted. I wonder why - no, I don't. It was most probably shot in LAX, at the usual SC rental, Villa No Ego.
