Hey! I’m Brina.

Proud to say that I have a 10 year background in freelance artistry, including film and theater, and 3 years experience in public makeup education. I’ve painted many faces in many places and I can’t get enough.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, me and my queer loved ones are in the business of defying norms. I believe that healing the world begins with loving yourself, whatever that might look like.

Astrology and Tarot have been such powerful sources of inner spiritual peace and self-expansion for me. So I thought I’d bring a little taste of the fun and mystical to my craft, which is what this website and my brand is all about. Fleur&Ember represents the elemental roots of earth and fire within us all.

I treat makeup like mixed medium painting — My free time is often spent getting curious (and messy) with my products and tools; pushing limits, mixing textures and colors…

Due to my out-of-the-box perspective, I’m all about redefining beauty. My goal is to help you embrace your unique sense of self-expression, on your terms. I don’t just apply makeup. I ask questions and I meet you where you’re at, so you can be certain that you’ll come away feeling empowered. No judgment, no pressure — just space to show up as yourself.

If you’re curious about learning makeup yourself, I teach lessons too. We figure it out together so you’re not guessing when it counts. You need some expression coaching? Gender-affirming guidance? Or just need a hack to finally nail your wing?

I gotchu, boo.
