Morgan, Beauty Blogger Turned “Makeup Artist”
Morgan Celeste is not your average Las Vegas momma. She is an award-winning beauty blogger who has found a resourceful way to turn her passion for makeup and beauty into art. It all began when Morgan started her blogging and content creation journey in Las Vegas after some encouragement from her colleagues. When she became pregnant with her daughter, Morgan took her hobby to the next level and turned it into a full-fledged career. She then moved to the Bay Area of San Francisco where she started her award-winning site, BayAreaBeautyBlogger.com.
Through her consistent posting, quality content, and highlighting of local brands and businesses, Morgan began to be recognized by larger brands worldwide. She was even featured as a top blogger on ShopParadox.com.
Her hard work paid off as she received numerous awards during her Bay Area Beauty Blogger days, including Top 100 American Beauty Bloggers, Top 25 San Francisco Lifestyle Bloggers, Best Blogs in San Francisco, and Best Makeup Blog 2020.
But Morgan's passion for makeup did not stop at beauty blogging. As a beauty blogger, she owned lots of makeup and was unable to use it all before it expired. Not wanting to waste any product, she decided to get creative and upcycle her expired makeup palettes. She turned eyeshadow into paint and began creating art that would bring joy to all beauty and art lovers. Now, happily back in Las Vegas with her family, Morgan has given new meaning to the title "Makeup Artist."
Her unique artwork can be found at etsy.com/shop/makeupmorganlvnv, and her creative process and artwork are also featured on her Instagram.
We got with Morgan to ask her to share what she loves about Vegas. These are the things this mama is vibing with right now:
Golden Knights Games
I love going to Golden Knights games with my husband and daughter! We always have the best time cheering the Knights on while watching ice hockey. Go Knights Go!
La Casa Cigars & Lounge
For date nights, my husband and I love heading to Tivoli Village. We’ll grab some dinner, then end our evening at our go-to spot, La Casa Cigars & Lounge.
Mi Amor Art
To get crafty, we love meeting friends at Mi Amor Art. They throw tons of art related events for kid!
Viva Hair Studio
To maintain my signature purple hair, I faithfully go to Viva Hair Studio. My daughter has started going there for haircuts too. Ask for our girl, Berry!
Ohjah Japanese Steakhouse
I always look forward to Fridays, who doesn’t? For me, I love them because that’s our family night. We go to Ohjah Japanese Steakhouse for some sushi.
Handel’s Ice Cream & Yogurt
When the weather gets hot, we’ll go to Handel’s for some very tasty ice cream. They’ve been making handmade ice cream since 1945 - yumm!
The Boneyard at The Neon Museum
I absolutely love The Boneyard at The Neon Museum, it’s a fun, local place to take visitors. Look for the pieces still on display from the Tim Burton exhibit – they’re my favorite!
Millenium Dance Complex
My favorite place to get some essential me time is Millenium Dance Complex. They offer so many fantastic classes for beginners up to the professional level. My current favorites are the dance fitness classes, especially Twerk n’ Tone and the VXN Workout.
