Today we’d like to introduce you to LaBrianna Rusk.
Hi LaBrianna, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I’m born and raised in West Dallas! Growing up in a big family taught me the power of motivation and love, and it’s a big reason I connect with my audience the way I do. Here, we’re a virtual family!
I discovered makeup in 2019 during COVID, but creativity has always been my thing dancing, crafting, painting, and turning wild ideas into reality. After teaching myself all things beauty and glam, I dove into creative SFX, and I haven’t looked back since!
I believe in sharing your art no matter what. Everything I create comes with passion, purpose, and love! This is just the beginning.
We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
Absolutely not! Anything that comes too easy is often underappreciated. I’ve had my share of bumps and bruises along the way, but I never thought about giving up on myself. Prayer has always been my anchor during the dark times.
As a creative, you’re often your own biggest critic, you’ll always see what you could have done better. I’ve learned to celebrate what I’ve accomplished while continuing to grow. It’s all part of having a creative mind.
Stay prayed up, never know what challenges are coming your way. If you’re ready and grounded, no weapon formed against you shall prosper.
As you know, we’re big fans of you and your work. For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about what you do?
I’m a MUA and SFX artist known for bringing imagination to life with creative, jaw-dropping looks. I specialize in bold, unique, and transformative art that blends beauty and special effects, turning ideas into reality. I’m most proud of the community I’ve built over the past four years! A space full of support, creativity, and laughter. Seeing people connect with my work and feel inspired is everything to me.
What sets me apart is my energy and approach: I know how to have fun in any situation, stay edgy, and keep things playful. My supporters match that energy, and together we create a space where art and joy come alive. I love what I do, and I’m just getting started.
Can you talk to us about how you think about risk?
I’ve definitely taken risks! Some of my art has been controversial and could stir political debates, but I believe if God puts something on your heart, you need to follow through. It may upset some people, but they’re not the audience you’re trying to reach. I take pride in using my art as a voice to speak on issues and challenge the status quo in today’s America.
Yes, I’ve lost followers along the way, but I’ve also gained stronger, more loyal supporters. Taking risks is about staying true to yourself and your message. People respect those who aren’t afraid to stand up and keep it real with themselves and their audience.
