Life and career

Edeme was born and raised in Lagos, Nigeria. She moved to the United Kingdom at age eight and went on to study fine arts at university in North England. She resides in London. She has also received recognition for the use of this technique on models with darker skin tones, such as Adut Akech.

Edeme received media coverage in 2026 when makeup artist Patrick Ta launched a line of makeup products titled "Transition Blurring Blush Duos". According to Allure, "Many people felt like Ta was ripping off Edeme's technique and capitalizing on it as his own, especially by trademarking the words 'transition blush' and by using words like 'created' to describe the technique."

Among her inspirations are Pat McGrath, Danessa Myricks, Sam Fine, Kevyn Aucoin's work with Naomi Campbell, and Scott Barnes.
