Daily Inspiration: Meet Ibis

Today we’d like to introduce you to Ibis.

Hi Ibis , we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
My journey in beauty began in the dance competition world, where I did makeup for dancers ages four to nineteen. That experience taught me the importance of artistry, precision, and giving someone the confidence to shine under pressure. Over time, I transitioned into bridal beauty, which became my true passion, and I’ve now worked in the bridal makeup industry for over 16 years. Along the way, I was fortunate to gain experience at New York Fashion Week and on film sets, which helped me refine my skills and eye for detail.

In 2020, I became a licensed Esthetician and later advanced to a Master Esthetician. That step allowed me to merge my artistry with a results-driven approach to skin health. I opened Let’s Face It Beauty Studio to create a space where I could offer both luxury bridal beauty and corrective skincare.

Today, I lead a 5-star bridal team that travels throughout Florida while also helping clients in my studio achieve long-term skincare results. What started with dancers in the competitive world has grown into a career built on empowering women to feel radiant, confident, and unforgettable — not just on their wedding day, but always.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
No, it definitely hasn’t been a smooth road — but I think that’s true for most entrepreneurs. Learning to run a business is never easy. For me, one of the biggest challenges was figuring out how to navigate marketing and the ever-changing world of social media in order to attract the right clients. Another struggle early on was learning to confidently charge my worth. As artists, it can be tough to put a value on your work, but once I shifted my mindset and trusted the level of skill, experience, and luxury service I bring, I started attracting the clients who truly value what I do.

Every challenge has ultimately pushed me to grow — not just as a business owner, but as a person.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I’m the owner and lead artist of Let’s Face It Beauty Studio, where I specialize in luxury bridal hair and makeup as well as corrective skincare. My philosophy has always been skin first, makeup second, which is why I became a licensed esthetician in 2020. Brides come to me not only for their wedding-day glam, but also for months of skin prep leading up to the big day, so that their makeup sits flawlessly and their natural glow shines through.

I’m best known for creating a calm, luxury experience — both in the studio and on the wedding morning. I bring over 16 years of bridal beauty experience, combined with advanced esthetics training, and I’ve built a 5-star bridal team that provides on-location services across Florida. What sets me apart is that I don’t just show up with a makeup kit; I bring a holistic approach that blends artistry, skin health, and timeline management so the bride can truly relax and enjoy every moment.

I’m most proud of the relationships I’ve built with my clients. Many brides stay with me long after their wedding, coming back for skincare treatments and referring their friends and families. That loyalty and trust mean everything to me — because it shows that my work goes deeper than makeup and hair; it’s about confidence, care, and creating an unforgettable experience.

Is there anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
I’d love to remind brides that your wedding morning sets the tone for your entire day. Choose a glam team that not only delivers beautiful work, but also brings calm energy, organization, and professionalism so you can truly enjoy every moment. My passion is helping women feel radiant and confident, and I believe every bride deserves to feel like the best version of herself.

For anyone curious about skincare, I always say it’s never too early to start. Investing in your skin is one of the best gifts you can give yourself, whether you’re a bride-to-be or just want to glow every day.

And finally — if you’re a bride reading this, I’d love to connect with you! You can find me on Instagram at @letsfaceitbeautystudiofl or on my website www.letsfaceitbeautystudiofl.com
