Starrly’s ambition sparked as a teen flipping through fashion magazines, daydreaming of becoming a makeup artist. Immediately after graduating high school she set off from her small First Nations community to pursue that dream. Since 2009 Starrly trained at leading makeup school Blanche Macdonald Centre, attended celebrity masterclasses with artists such as Mario Dedivanovic, worked at MAC Cosmetics for several years, and has done makeup for countless weddings, events, photoshoots, and music videos. Starrly strived to hone her craft and has become renowned for her clean and creative looks. In 2016 Starrly's love of beauty lead her to the world of Permanent Makeup, earning several certificates and traveling as far as Europe for training. She was a quick learner and excelled fast in the industry, becoming one of the most sought after artists in Alberta for her flawless technique.

 

Over the past decade Starrly built a name and following for her immaculate artistry, with an impressive portfolio and thousands of applications and procedures under her belt. In 2022 her talent and hustle led her to her dream city of Los Angeles, California. She currently resides in LA as a Freelance Makeup Artist and Brow Tattoo Artist. Starrly is also a co-owner of Pink Mink Lashes - a luxury line of cruelty-free lashes.
