Beyond Beauty: Sarah ‘Sea Tha Light’ Abbott’s Mission to Empower and Inspire Through Makeup

Sarah Abbott, affectionately known as “See Tha Light”, stands at the intersection of music, entrepreneurship, and professional makeup artistry. Her journey is a testament to resilience, passion, and the transformative power of self-belief.

From humble beginnings to becoming a trailblazer in the beauty industry, Sarah’s story is one of determination and inspiration.

Growing up Sarah found solace and joy in the world of makeup. Despite facing resistance from an older brother, who disapproved of her interest in makeup at such a young age, Sarah persisted in honing her skills. She recalls: “From a little girl, I always enjoyed putting on makeup. I actually would get in trouble for putting it on.”

However, her talent did not go unnoticed, as her mother soon became a fan of Sarah’s makeup artistry, requesting her expertise and paving the way for her journey.

The turning point came when Sarah landed a job at Arbor Place Mall at the age of 16. It was here that she realized the profound impact of her work. Sarah reminisces: “I remember just doing somebody’s makeup at one point, and I just started crying as I’m in their face because I’m like, I get to make money by doing something that I love to do and making people feel beautiful about themselves, and then it makes me feel beautiful about myself too.”

This pivotal moment fueled Sarah’s passion and determination to pursue a career in makeup artistry.

Sarah’s approach to makeup goes beyond surface-level beauty. She sees makeup as a tool for empowerment and self-expression. “It’s deeper than me just applying makeup. I like to go within a person and pull things out so that, you know, they feel unstoppable.” – Sarrah explains.

Her ability to connect with clients on a deeper level sets her apart in the industry.

Despite facing challenges, including misconceptions about her ability to cater to diverse skin tones, Sarah remained undeterred. With perseverance and dedication, she emerged as a versatile makeup artist capable of catering to a wide range of clientele.

However, Sarah’s journey was not without its obstacles.

Colorism within the industry presented a significant challenge for Sarah, who faced prejudice due to her lighter skin tone” – Sarah recounts. However, she refused to let these biases define her. Instead, she used each experience as an opportunity to prove her skills and break down stereotypes.

One of the key figures in Sarah’s journey was Jewel Baker, a fellow makeup artist who played a significant role in her development. “Jewel, she really taught me. She would come and she’d tell me the right skin tones and how to do the brow a different way,” – Sarah reflects.

Working alongside Jewel, Sarah learned invaluable lessons about makeup techniques and skin tones, further honing her craft.

In 2020, Sarah faced a new challenge when the COVID-19 pandemic halted her makeup business. Forced to take a break from her work, Sarah experienced a moment of introspection. “God really showed me, like, take a break from that. And I found that glow.
So it’s like I went from, you know, trying to cover up things with makeup to really accepting and believing who I am without it,” – she shares. This period of reflection led Sarah to a newfound appreciation for natural beauty and self-acceptance.

Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, Sarah remained resilient. She used this time to refocus her energy and explore new opportunities.

Alongside her partner, Glow the Goddess, the duo embarked on the creation of their own cosmetic line, “See the Glow.” The brand aims to offer products infused with skincare benefits and spiritual energy, reflecting Sarah’s holistic approach to beauty.

As Sarah prepares to open her flagship store in Mall of Georgia, she envisions a space that transcends conventional beauty standards. “My goal is to create a welcoming environment where individuals from all walks of life feel seen, valued, and empowered,” – Sarah explains.

Through personalized consultations and affirming experiences, she aims to redefine the beauty industry’s narrative, promoting diversity and inclusivity. Looking ahead, Sarah sees boundless opportunities for growth and expansion. With plans to integrate technology, expand her product line, and establish a global presence, she is poised to revolutionize the makeup industry.

However, amidst her ambitions, Sarah remains grounded in her commitment to spreading light, love, and positivity through her artistry.
