Jamaican Makeup Artist Gabby Glam on Building Her Empire

If you're a makeup enthusiast or getting ready for Carnival season, you need to know about Gabby Glam. This Jamaican makeup artist is a force to be reckoned with, having built her own cosmetics line and a go-to service for flawless Carnival glam. Carleen and I recently had the opportunity to chat with Gabby on IG Live on Wah Iz De Scene, and let me tell you, this woman is inspiring!

Here's what I learned:

• Her Makeup Roots: Gabby grew up watching her mom, who was also a makeup artist. She started by assisting her mom and eventually built her own career. Now that's a true family business!
• Gabby Glam Cosmetics: This isn't just about helping others look fabulous; she has her own makeup line! Launched in 2020 (in the middle of a pandemic, no less), her cosmetics are likely infused with the bright, bold looks she creates for Carnival.
• What is Carnival Glam Hub? This is where things get really interesting. Not only does Gabby offer makeup and hair for Carnival celebrations, but Carnival Glam Hub goes the extra mile. They provide changing areas, help you get dressed into your elaborate costumes, and even offer photoshoot services to immortalize your look.
• Host Approved: Carleen and I actually used Carnival Glam Hub for my birthday that I celebrated in Miami in October 2024, and it is definitely Wah Iz De Scene approved. Talk about a great experience!

Let's face it, Carnival isn't just about music and dancing, it's about looking larger-than-life. Gabby Glam clearly gets that and is here to make sure you're the queen (or king) of the parade.
