Welcome to Studio Eight
Where Beauty, Tech, and Storytelling Meet.
This is our editorial home, a space to explore what’s next in beauty culture through stories, strategy, and smart conversation.
From behind-the-scenes insights to The Beauty Edit series, everything here is designed to inspire how you show up beautifully, online and in real life.
The Beauty Edit, Stories That Shape the Culture of Showing Up Beautifully.
Part editorial, part diary, part business journal, The Beauty Edit explores the ideas shaping modern beauty, creativity, and connection.
From product deep dives to brand building, every issue invites you inside the Triple Eight world, where beauty isn’t a category, it’s a culture.
A Creative Studio. A Tech Lab. A Beauty Think Tank.
Studio Eight is where the ideas behind Triple Eight Creative come to life.
It’s our space to test, build, and reimagine the beauty experience through editorial storytelling, digital innovation, and creative experimentation.
We develop:
Content & Campaign Concepts that merge culture with commerce.
Interactive Experiences like The Signature Glam Quiz and Inner Circle Hub.
Brand Collaborations that bring beauty into real-world environments.
The Inner Circle
One topic. Three perspectives.
Endless ways to show up.
This section is where the Inner Circle comes to life.
Each post takes a single idea, beauty, artistry, brand building, culture, and breaks it down through the three pillars of the T8C ecosystem:
Client
Pro
Business
One lens never tells the full story. The Inner Circle explores how a topic shifts depending on how you move through beauty and creativity, whether you’re showing up for yourself, your craft, or your brand.
Expect clean insights, seasonal conversations, behind-the-scenes moments, and thought-forward beauty commentary shaped by the world we’re building.
This is the editorial companion to the T8C universe, grounded, intentional, and always in motion.
Signature Glam
The creative heart of Triple Eight Creative, a series that celebrates individuality, artistry, and self-expression.
Each glam style is an archetype of beauty in motion: a reflection of who you are and who you’re becoming.
Through our weekly Studio Eight features, curated events, and community classes, we turn the language of makeup into a story of confidence, identity, and connection.
Whether you’re discovering your look or evolving your artistry, Signature Glam helps you build your own blueprint for showing up beautifully.

The Power of Showing Up Digitally
In awards season and beyond, beauty professionals need more than social media to grow.
Why a strong website, branding, and digital infrastructure are essential for booking clients and building longevity.
The Cost of Disconnection
Legacy beauty brands aren’t failing. They’re being challenged to reconnect. In a saturated market, product alone isn’t enough. Education, experience, and trust now define longevity in beauty.
Where’s the Clarity?!
If you’ve been guessing your way through your routine, you’re not the problem. The system is. This post breaks down what’s missing in beauty right now—and how the Signature Glam Test and Winter Edit were built to bring the structure back.
The 8 Women Who Inspired Me This Year (And Why I Needed Them)
This year I kept a running list of women who inspired me to build with more intention, more clarity, and higher standards. These founders and artists reminded me what’s possible when you keep showing up and creating your own lane. Here are the eight women who lit a fire under me, plus two honorable mentions.
WELCOME TO WINTER
Winter isn’t the season to disappear. It’s the season to decide how you want to show up. The Winter Edit was created to bring clarity to beauty at a time when everything feels louder. This season is about intention, presence, and choosing glamour on your terms. Whether that looks like bare skin and quiet confidence or fur coats and smoked-out eyes, the power is in the choice. The Winter Edit exists to support that decision and help you show up beautifully.
What Beauty Brands Got Right This Year
As beauty brands close out the year, the real opportunity isn’t louder marketing. It’s clearer education, stronger community, and experiences that connect people to products in real life. The Winter Edit is Triple Eight Creative’s response to where beauty is headed next.

The Edit | Same Trends, New Rules
Ngozi Edeme’s blush-forward, color-forward glam has taken over the internet, Kelly Rowland, Olandria, Doechii. This is beauty. The same trends, but elevated, personalized, and made our own.
But here’s the truth: most of us get it. We have the artistry, the vision, the culture. What we don’t always have is the access. That’s why I started the climb with our events to bring beauty directly to you, and to prove that when given the stage, we don’t just show up, we deliver.
Triple Eight Creative was built to bridge that gap. Through Signature Glam, The Edit, and The Inner Circle, we’re creating not just the what, but the how. The access. The authority.
