The makeup artist talks starting trends, going viral, and meeting SZA over DMs. 💫
Another reward of staying true to her artistic vision? Getting recognized by SZA—even getting direct messaged out of the blue to work with the singer. “SZA sent a picture of a star look I did on myself, asking if I could recreate it on her,” Naezrah recalls. Now, Naezrah tellsthat her mantra is, “Do nothing without intention.” Her drive, first and foremost is to champion Black creatives and contribute to their visibility who are often overlooked in the editorial space.
to make my mood boards for school. It wasn’t until my freshman year of college, late 2016 going into 2017, that I was in my dorm and thought everyone looked nice—and I wanted to look nice, too. There is a natural collision between fashion and makeup, so I decided to veer onto the beauty path. Back then, almost every Black girl was wearing MAC NW45, looking very orange or ghostly—even me. So I got creative, looking to different sources of inspiration, such as drag makeup.
The next time I worked with her, I came with sketches of looks for her to choose from. There have been more times than not that my work was stolen and not credited, so I was very intentional with my designs. When the Billboard ad and visuals for SZA’s “Shirt” music video came out all my mutuals hit me up. They knew it was my work even before I confirmed it. It was so surreal when the video came out and I saw my name in the credits. I’m eternally grateful.
Yeah, its kind of scary to pivot, but it’s not like I’m leaving makeup altogether. The ones who want to rock with me will rock with me. I feel if I’m genuinely happy, that’s what’s most important.”
