My name is Naylan Acosta, and I’m a makeup artist based in Los Angeles. Makeup has always been my passion. Its how I express myself, how I connect with people, and how I support myself. I’ve spent years building my kit and collecting the products, brushes, and tools I use for clients and special events.

On November 16th, my car was broken into overnight. When I walked outside that morning, I saw my things all over the floor and realized my entire makeup kit had been stolen.

Losing all of my products and tools at once has been a huge setback. My kit is how I work, how I support myself, and how I keep growing in my career. Replacing everything at the same time is really expensive, and right now it’s something I wasn’t prepared for.

I’m asking for any help to rebuild my kit so I can get back to taking clients and doing what I love. Anything truly helps, and I’m grateful for all the support during this stressful moment.

Thank you so much.
