Hi, I’m Kayla — the artist behind Animo Flore.
I’m a Chicago-born makeup artist and esthetics graduate with a love for soft, natural, intentional beauty. I create makeup inspired by light, skin, and gentle glam — looks that enhance what’s already there rather than covering it.
Animo Flore means “To bloom from within.”
Ánimo represents the spirit or energy we bring into the world.
Flore means to flourish, open, and bloom.
Together, it captures my belief that beauty should feel natural, effortless, and aligned with who you are.
My approach to makeup is rooted in softness, intention, and enhancing natural features—not masking them. Every look is created to feel like you, just elevated. Makeup should feel light, breathable, and true to your own beauty.
I specialize in natural glam, soft glam, clean-girl “no-makeup makeup,” and elevated everyday looks. My focus is always on enhancing skin, creating balance, and adding subtle detail that feels soft, feminine, and timeless.
Outside of makeup, i spend a lot of my time exploring new techniques, studying skin, or hanging out with my two cats, Taiyo & Tsuki — they remind me daily to stay curious, gentle, and grounded.
My Goal is simple:
To create makeup that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and beautifully yourself — blooming from the inside out.
