Give The Girls Their Flowers: Autumn Marie
Beauty Pro | Businesswoman | Big Sister Esthetician
There’s space for all of us to take up space
For Autumn Marie, beauty is more than skin deep—it’s about confidence, care, and knowing when to take up space. As the founder of Beautiiful.co , she’s spent years perfecting her craft, building a business, and pouring into others.
Her main-character moment came when she did makeup for Rhada Blank at the Met Gala in 2022—a full-circle moment that proved her talent belonged on the biggest stages. But Autumn’s impact extends far beyond celebrity clients; she’s become the go-to esthetician and mentor for young women stepping into their power.
In this feature, Autumn talks about her journey, lessons learned, and why she believes there’s space for all of us to shine.
