Hey everyone! On this episode of Clairity
we're talking with Alexandra , a makeup artist for Artistry.
At just 16 years old,
Alexandra left Ecuador and moved to the
United States to pursue her American dream.
Now she's showing off her skills
at Fashion Week and beyond. So let's get started.
So can you speak a little bit to your upbringing
and how it influenced your
entrepreneurial spirit?
When I was 7-years-old, my dad actually said,
"OK. I'm gonna teach you how to start a business."
And he bought me a bag of candy.
Then he said, "OK so you're gonna sell
each piece of candy
this amount right then after you're done
you're going to pay me back and you're
going to keep the profit so that you
can start your own capital and that I just started
my own little venture from there.
He was always the one that would be
the dreamer and just like pushing us
to be better to my new opportunities.
At some point I did call my dad and I said,
you know, "I don't think I'm gonna make it."
"I need to go back."
And he said, "No, because you have to finish what you start."
My husband and I, since we got together,
we knew we wanted to be in business for ourselves.
We met our mentors and we wanted to do to
the opportunity it was just like the
light at the end of the tunnel, because when
you come here it's like the American
dream but little by little we were like,
"Oh my god, like okay, is there a life here?"
Because you can work so much and then you have no time.
I think that that part of really making the push —
a lot of people say, "Oh I don't have time for this, I don't have time for that..."
You have to make the time.
Right.
Something that I really love about Artistry,
not only about this collection,
It's that it focuses so much on your skin.
It's your natural glow so that's the beauty
of this look: it's shiny it's beautiful
it's glowing, so a lot of women don't like makeup.
Some do, some don't...
but the beauty of this collection
is that it's just the beauty within.
That's what we call it.
Amazing!
I understand you've also done makeup for a
New York Fashion Week.
What's that experience like?
Well that experience is awesome.
I can imagine.
It's really, really exciting.
Especially when you get to
work with a lot of makeup artists backstage
and the environment is crazy. You have two
girls taking the makeup off and then you
three putting it on.
You know, it's stressful because she has
to be done if she's up next but
it's a balance of everything.
A little crazy, but it's fun.
Amazing.
For me, being a makeup artist, it's
not, you know, just the profession or just
something I do it's a privilege as well
because when somebody, you know,
books you and then — my goal is not only
to just go, "Oh, alright..." I do the makeup and then I leave.
It's the attitude, it's the way that
that I talk to them, to the lady
or other girl or it's a bride.
And then just making them feel beautiful.
Not only with the products
that you use but just be the
art and being yourself and putting your
skills into place and making sure you
tell them how beautiful they are.
I love that.
You look beautiful.
Every woman has their own beauty.
With make up, without makeup...but when you are
a makeup artist and you get to be part
of that transformation when they look at
themselves before and after
it's definitely rewarding.
Beautiful!
One of my last questions is, if you could look back
and tell your 16-year-old self on her
way to America - anything - what would you tell her?
Oh wow.
You know what? I don't think that would tell
myself anything different.
I am so blessed and I'm so grateful that my
parents really raised me on good
principles and values and I carry that
with me, you know being able to
build with my husband even by myself
with all the things I've accomplished in
my professional career you know the
immigration field, as well as a makeup
artist and now just as a wife, so I
think, you know, I'm pretty satisfied.
There's always room for growth but I
think the foundation that I was given at
home, I really I don't think that I would say anything different.
That's amazing.
