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 ✨

On May 4, 1959, Ella Fitzgerald made history becoming the first Black woman to win a Grammy Award.

Known as the “First Lady of Song,” her voice broke barriers and opened doors in an industry that often tried to silence Black talent.

Ella didn’t just sing she made space for generations to rise.

Let’s celebrate her legacy, not just with music, but with recognition.
