  3. Transparency Post: Opened and Closed October 2020, I received the keys to my first commercial space. This was no ordinary experience. It was my dream to have my own salon since I was a young girl. With literally just enough funds to get the keys, I took this project head on with all faith in GOD. I honestly didn’t know how things would go, but I went for it. While building the foundation of the space, I was growing discouraged at times but I kept going. I learned so much in the process, but my advice is to not cut any corners. The only way is through. Even though I was a novice, I knew I was supposed to be there. God provided for me through the entire process. I take no credit, God did it! Back in 2018, I viewed this space and prayed inside with @meelahhjaneee with hopes to one day be able to start this journey. Miraculously, I didn’t realize I had the keys to a space I prayed in years before. It was repainted. I noticed when I peeled the baseboards. That’s when I knew it was destined. Eventually, the salon was fully furnished and I was ready to get started. It was tough to manage at the time, but with the help of @shamari_themua @mrschaleycampbell @big.liah @nandicierraa @lavishmya it came together! Over time, the business became challenging to keep up with. I was literally learning as I was going. I started to realize that I needed more knowledge, preparation, and support to carry out my vision. I fasted from meat for a full month, and prayed consistently for clarity and discernment. The resolution was it was best to close up shop. I felt defeated some days, and motivated to keep going other days. Experience is the BEST teacher. I’m not afraid to share where I fell short, because I know I am a vessel of God and this is only a small portion of my testimony. Let your faith carry you through. Even though things did not go as planned, I did it with God leading me! That was the lesson. That with faith you can bring your visions to reality. It’s possible, even if you do it scared. You can do anything you set your heart and mind on. I fully accepted the end of this chapter. Now, I’m starting fresh in a NEW city. God is amazing. Watch me grow. 🫶🏽💞

  2. I wasn’t sure I wanted to post this here, but a recent TikTok I shared struck such a chord — hundreds of artists commented saying they’ve felt the same way. And because community and authenticity are everything to me, I felt I owed it to us to bring that conversation here, too. My TikTok is where I share the behind-the-scenes of my life as a makeup artist, while Instagram is more about the glams I create for my clients. But I think it’s important to talk about the parts people don’t always see: as makeup artists, we’re human. Some days the looks flow effortlessly; other days, we struggle, and it doesn’t always turn out how we pictured. Saying that out loud doesn’t make me any less of an artist — it just means I care enough to want every single look to be perfect. I pour my heart into every glam. I’ve even cried over ones that didn’t meet my own standards, because disappointing someone I care about can feel like the end of the world. But no matter what, I promise I’ll always give you every ounce of effort, love, and skill I have. As I continue to grow both as an artist and here on social media, I want you to know how grateful I am for your trust and support. I may not get it right every single time, but I’ll always try my hardest to give you the glam you deserve. All I ask in return is kindness, patience, and realistic expectations — because this journey is one we share together. With so much love, Perla 🤍 #ChicagoBrides #LuxuryBrides #DestinationBrides #ChicagoWeddingMakeup #LuxuryMakeupArtist #DestinationWeddingMakeup #ChicagoBrideToBe #BridalBeauty #LuxuryBridalMakeup #softglam #makeupartistjourney #mualife
