The makeup artist operates a social media following of more than 70,000 on TikTok , posting makeup tutorials and showcases of her skill and craft . She stated that she tries to add more depth to her content than other makeup tutorials on the site , mixing narratives and graphic design into her posts to differentiate them . In both her personal life and passions , Wise finds eternal support in her fiancé , Dominic Littlefield , and her mother , who have helped her follow her dream and push through her struggles .
Wise ’ s mother has been a particularly strong influence on her throughout her life , not only encouraging her first foray into makeup but remaining a constant well of support as she continued to explore it . An artist herself , she encouraged Wise in her youth to explore her creativity and freely express herself .
The two remain in constant contact , with Wise frequently reaching out to chat or for feedback on her latest look before posting .
“ She ’ s definitely my number one influence ,” Wise said . “ We text each other , I ’ ll show her a makeup look , or she ’ ll show me one of her paintings ... we ’ ve definitely bonded a lot through that .”
Despite her prominent online following , Wise had initially never planned on posting her makeup art online . It was thanks to her fiancé that she found the impetus to give it a shot .
While Wise was content with practicing her skills on her own , Littlefield set to work creating a TikTok account for her in secret , showing off her makeup skills to the world to expand the audience that her expertise could reach .
